ETSI ETSI EN 300 961 V6.1.1 (2000-11)8(GSM 06.10 version 6.1.1 Release 1997) 1 Scope The transcoding procedure specified in the present document is applicable for the full-rate Traffic Channel (TCH) in the digital cellular telecommunications system. The use of this transcoding scheme for other applications has not been considered. In GSM 06.01, a reference configuration for the speech transmission chain of the digital cellular telecommunications system is shown. According to this reference configuration, the speech encoder takes its input as a 13 bit uniform PCM signal either from the audio part of the mobile station or on the network side, from the PSTN via an 8 bit/A-law to 13 bit uniform PCM conversion. The encoded speech at the output of the speech encoder is delivered to a channel encoder unit which is specified in GSM 05.03. In the receive direction, the inverse operations take place. The present document describes the detailed mapping between input blocks of 160 speech samples in 13 bit uniform PCM format to encoded blocks of 260 bits and from encoded blocks of 260 bits to output blocks of 160 reconstructed speech samples. The sampling rate is 8000 sample/s leading to an average bit rate for the encoded bit stream of 13 kbit/s. The coding scheme is the so-called Regular Pulse Excitation - Long Term prediction - Linear Predictive Coder, here-after referred to as RPE-LTP. The present document also specifies the conversion between A-law PCM and 13 bit uniform PCM. Performance requirements for the audio input and output parts are included only to the extent that they affect the transcoder performance. The present document also describes the codec down to the bit level, thus enabling the verification of compliance to the present document to a high degree of confidence by use of a set of digital test sequences. These test sequences are described and are contained in archive en_300961v060101p0.ZIP which accompanies the present document. 1.1 References The following documents contain provisions which, through reference in this text, constitute provisions of the present document. • References are either specific (identified by date of publication, edition number, version number, etc.) or non-specific. • For a specific reference, subsequent revisions do not apply. • For a non-specific reference, the latest version applies. • A non-specific reference to an ETS shall also be taken to refer to later versions published as an EN with the same number. • For this Release 1997 document, references to GSM documents are for Release 1997 versions (version 6.x.y).

Subclause 1.4 describes the conversion between 13 bit uniform and 8 bit A-law samples. Subclauses 1.5 and 1.6 present a simplified description of the principles of the RPE-LTP encoding and decoding process respectively. In clause 1.7, the sequence and subjective importance of encoded parameters are given. Clause 2 deals with the transmission characteristics of the audio parts that are relevant for the performance of the RPE-LTP codec. Some transmission characteristics of the RPE-LTP codec are also specified in clause 2. Clause 3 presents the functional description of the RPE-LTP coding and decoding procedures, whereas clause 4 describes the computational details of the algorithm. Procedures for the verification of the correct functioning of the RPE-LTP are described in clause 5. Performance and network aspects of the RPE-LTP codec are contained in annex A. 1.3 Functional description of audio parts The analogue-to-digital and digital-to-analogue conversion will in principle comprise the following elements: 1) Analogue to uniform digital: - microphone; - input level adjustment device; - input anti-aliasing filter; - sample-hold device sampling at 8 kHz; - analogue-to-uniform digital conversion to 13 bits representation. The uniform format shall be represented in two’s complement. 2) Uniform digital to analogue: - conversion from 13 bit /8 kHz uniform PCM to analogue; - a hold device; - reconstruction filter including x/sin x correction; - output level adjustment device; SIST EN
