Digital cellular telecommunications system; Discontinuous Transmission (DTX) for Enhanced Full Rate (EFR) speech traffic channels (GSM 06.81 version 5.2.1 Release 1996)

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.

1 Scope
This 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 (MS)s and Base Station Systems (BSS)s 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 ETS together with all their flags is mandatory, being part of the A-bis interface as
described in GSM 08.60 (ETS 300 737) [13].
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.

3 Definitions, symbols and abbreviations
3.1 Definitions
For the purposes of this ETS, the following terms and definitions apply:
accepted SID frame: A traffic frame which is flagged with SID="1" or SID="2" by the Radio Subsystem.
bad traffic frame: A traffic frame flagged BFI flag ="1" (Bad Frame Indication) by the Radio Subsystem.
frame: Time interval of 20 msec. corresponding to the time segmentation of the Enhanced Full Rate
speech transcoder (GSM 06.60 (ETS 300 726) [9]), also used as a short term for a traffic frame.
good speech frame: A good traffic frame which is not an accepted SID frame.
good traffic frame: A traffic frame flagged BFI flag ="0" by the Radio Subsystem.
hangover period: A period of 7 frames added at the end of a speech burst in which VAD flag ="0" and SP
flag ="1".
invalid SID frame: An accepted SID frame which was not classified as valid SID frame. This frame is not
valid for updating comfort noise parameters, but the frame conveys information that comfort noise
generations should be started or continued.
lost SID frame: An unusable frame received when the RX DTX handler is generating comfort noise and a
SID frame is expected (Time Alignment Flag, TAF="1").
lost speech frame: An unusable frame received when the RX DTX handler is passing on traffic frames
directly to the speech decoder.
SID code word: Fixed bit pattern defined in GSM 06.62 (ETS 300 728) [11], for labelling a traffic frame as
a SID frame.
SID field: The bit positions defined in GSM 06.62 (ETS 300 728) [11], of the SID codeword within a SID
frame.
SID frame: Frame ch
