Digital cellular telecommunications system; Discontinuous Transmission (DTX) for Enhanced Full Rate (EFR) speech traffic channels (GSM 06.81)

This draft European Telecommunication Standard (ETS)  gives a description of the general baseband operation of enhanced full rate speech traffic channels in the transmitter and in the receiver of GSM Mobile Stations and Base Station Systems during Discontinuous Transmission (DTX).  For clarity, the description is structured according to the block diagrams in figures 1 and 4. Except in the case described next, this structure of distributing the various functions between  system entities is not mandatory for implementation, as long as the operation on the air interface and on the speech decoder output remains the same.  In the case of BSSs where the speech transcoder is located remotely in the Base Station Controller (BSC), the implementation of the interfaces between the DTX handlers and the Radio Sub System (RSS) as described in this draft ETS together with all their flags is mandatory, being part of the A-bis interface as described in GSM 08.61.  The DTX functions described in this technical specification are mandatory for implementation in the GSM MSs. The receiver requirements are mandatory for implementation in all GSM BSSs, the transmitter requirements only for those where downlink DTX will be used.

This frame is notvalid for updating comfort noise parameters, but the frame conveys information that comfort noisegenerations should be started or continued.lost SID frame: An unusable frame received when the RX DTX handler is generating comfort noise and aSID frame is expected (Time Alignment Flag, TAF="1").lost speech frame: An unusable frame received when the RX DTX handler is passing on traffic framesdirectly to the speech decoder.SID code word: Fixed bit pattern defined in GSM 06.62 (ETS 300 728) [11], for labelling a traffic frame asa SID frame.SID field: The bit positions defined in GSM 06.62 (ETS 300 728) [11], of the SID codeword within a SIDframe.SID frame: Frame characterized by the SID (SIlence Descriptor) code word. It conveys information on theacoustic background noise.SP flag: Boolean flag, generated by the TX DTX handler, indicating the presence of a speech frame ("1")or the presence of a SID frame ("0").speech frame: Traffic frame that cannot be classified as a SID frame.TAF flag: Time Alignment Flag.
