Digital cellular telecommunications system (Phase 2+) (GSM); Universal Mobile Telecommunications System (UMTS); LTE; ANSI-C code for the floating-point Adaptive Multi-Rate (AMR) speech codec (V14.0.0; 3GPP TS 26.104 version 14.0.0 Release 14; Includes Dis
This Technical Standard (TS) contains an electronic copy of the ANSI-C code for a floating-point implementation of the Adaptive Multi-Rate codec. This floating-point codec specification is mainly targeted to be used in multimedia applications such as the 3G-324M terminal specified in 3GPP TS 26.110@ or in packet-based (e.g.@ H.323) applications. The bit-exact fixed-point ANSI-C code in 3GPP TS 26.073 remains the preferred implementation for all applications@ but the floating-point codec may be used instead of the fixed-point codec when the implementation platform is better suited for a floating-point implementation. It has been verified that the fixed-point and floating-point codecs interoperate with each other without any artefacts. The floating-point ANSI-C code in this specification is the only standard conforming non-bit-exact implementation of the Adaptive Multi Rate speech transcoder (3GPP TS 26.090 [2])@ Voice Activity Detection (3GPP TS 26.094 [6])@ comfort noise generation (3GPP TS 26.092 [4])@ and source controlled rate operation (3GPP TS 26.093 [5]). The floating-point code also contains example solutions for substituting and muting of lost frames (3GPP TS 26.091 [3]). The fixed-point specification in 26.073 shall remain the only allowed implementation for the 3G mandatory speech service and the use of the floating-point codec is strictly limited to other services. The floating-point encoder in this specification is a non-bit-exact implementation of the fixed-point encoder producing quality indistinguishable from that of the fixed-point encoder. The decoder in this specification is functionally a bit-exact implementation of the fixed-point decoder@ but the code has been optimized for speed and the standard fixedpoint libraries are not used as such.
