Terrestrial Trunked Radio (TETRA); Speech codec for full-rate traffic channel; Part 3: Specific operating features
The present document describes all the functions associated with the TETRA speech codec, except the specification of the codec by itself which is entirely defined in EN 300 395-2 [1]. Clause 4 of the present document provides a description of the functions associated with the speech encoder, while clause 5 is its counterpart for the speech decoder. Clause 6 describes the contents and the format of the signalling data block included in a stolen frame when used for transferring information relevant to the codec in a U-plane signalling message. In addition, annex A provides indications and preferred solutions for the implementation of optional features.

4 TETRA Speech encoder
A diagram of the speech encoder and associated functions is given in figure 1. A more general overview is given in
EN 300 395-1. The speech encoder is defined in EN 300 395-2 [1] and the other functions form the speech encoder
control unit. The speech encoder control unit shall have access to all the internal data and functions of the speech
encoder (including the input speech).

Figure 1: Overview of speech encoder specific operating features
The speech encoder as defined in EN 300 395-2 [1] shall receive speech in the form of 16-bit uniform PCM at a rate of
8 000 samples per second.
The coded data corresponding to each 30 ms speech frame shall be output from the speech encoder control unit via the
encryption interface to the encryption unit (or directly to the MAC if encryption is not used). The interfaces with the
encryption unit, namely interface points 3 and 4 in figure 1, shall be as defined in EN 300 392-7 [2], clause 7. Message
"TMD_UNITDATA_ request" is the means of conveying half-slots from the U-plane to the MAC, while
"TMD_REPORT_indication" enables the MAC to pass control information to the U-plane.
Comfort noise parameters may be generated and their presence in the coded speech data shall be indicated by a U-plane
signalling message conveyed using the frame stealing mechanism.
A speech importance indication shall be provided.
The presence of a homing sequence in the input speech shall be recognized and the encoder reset to a defined state.
All functions necessary to support conformance testing shall be implemented.

An appropriate U_device destination address shall be set for each half slot of coded speech data to allow correct routing
at the receiver.
4.1 Encoder homing function
4.1.1 Definition of encoder homing frame
The encoder homing frame shall consist of 240 identical samples (corresponding to a 30 ms speech frame), each 16 bits
long with the value 0x0008.
NOTE: 0x0008 is a number represented in hexadecimal notation.
4.1.2 Encoder homing
Whenever the speech encoder receives at its input an encoder homing frame exactly aligned with its internal speech
frame segmentation, the following events shall take place:
Step 1: the speech encoder performs its normal operation and produces a spe
