These sequences test for a bit exact implementation of the half rate speech transcoder (GSM 06.20 (ETS 300 969) [2]), Voice Activity Detector (GSM 06.42 (ETS 300 973) [6]), comfort noise (GSM 06.22 (ETS 300 971) [4]) and the discontinuous transmission (GSM 06.41 (ETS 300 972) [5]).

4 General
Digital test sequences are necessary to test for a bit exact implementation of the half rate speech
transcoder (GSM 06.20 (ETS 300 969) [2]), Voice Activity Detector (GSM 06.42 (ETS 300 973) [6]),
comfort noise (GSM 06.22 (ETS 300 971) [4]) and the discontinuous transmission (GSM 06.41
(ETS 300 972) [5]).
The test sequences may also be used to verify installations of the ANSI C code in GSM 06.06
(ETS 300 967) [7].
Clause 5 describes the format of the files which contain the digital test sequences. Clause 6 describes the
test sequences for the speech transcoder. Clause 7 describes the test sequences for the VAD, comfort
noise and discontinuous transmission.
Clause 8 describes the method by which synchronization is obtained between the test sequences and the
speech codec under test.
Clause 9 describes the optional acceptance testing of the speech encoder and decoder in the TRAU by
means of 8 bit A- or m-law compressed test sequences on the A-Interface.
Electronic copies of the digital test sequences are provided as clause 10, these digital test sequences are
contained in the five 3.5 inch diskettes attached to the back cover of this ETS 300 968.
5 Test sequence format
This clause provides information on the format of the digital test sequences for the GSM half rate speech
transcoder (GSM 06.20 (ETS 300 969) [2]), Voice Activity Detector (GSM 06.42 (ETS 300 973) [6]),
comfort noise (GSM 06.22 (ETS 300 971) [4]) and the discontinuous transmission (GSM 06.41
(ETS 300 972) [5]).
5.1 File format
The test sequence files are provided on 5 floppy disks (3,5 inch) which are formatted according to the high
1) 2)
capacity (1,44 Mb) specifications for MS-DOS IBM -PC/AT compatible computers.
Following decompression, by execution of the 11 "disk*.exe" files, four types of file are provided:
- Files for input to the GSM half rate speech encoder: *.INP
- Files for comparison with the encoder output: *.COD
- Files for input to the GSM half rate speech decoder: *.DEC
- Files for comparison with the decoder output: *.OUT
Tables 1, 2, 3 and 4 define the formats of the four types of file. Each parameter in these tables is
contained in a 16 bit word except for the samples of the 8 bit PCM test sequences, which are contained in
an 8 bit word each. The left or right justification is indicated in the tables. The size and location of speech
parameters in the encoder output (*.COD) and decoder input files (*.DEC) are described in GSM 06.20
(ETS 300 969) [2].
5.2 Codec homing
Each *.INP file includes two homing frames at the start of the test sequence. The function of these frames
is to reset the speech encoder state variables to their initial value. In the case of a correct installation of
the ANSI-C simulation (GSM 06.06 (ETS 300 967) [7]), all speech encoder output frames shall be
identical to the corresponding frame in the *.COD file. In the case of a correct hardware implementation
undergoing type approval, the first speech encoder output frame is undefined and need not be identical to

the first frame in the *.COD file, but all remaining speech encoder output frames shall be identical to the
corresponding frames in the *.COD file.
Each *.DEC file includes two homing frames at the start of the test sequence. The function of these
frames is to reset the speech decoder state variables to their initial value. In the case of a correct
installation of the ANSI-C simulation (GSM 06.06 (ETS 300 967) [7]), all speech decoder output frames
shall be identical to the corresponding frame in the *.OUT file. In the case of a correct hardware
implementation undergoing type approval, the first speech decoder output frame is undefined and need
not be identical to first frame in the *.OUT file, but all remaining speech decoder output frames shall be
identical to the corresponding frames in the *.OUT file.
