In this model, both end-to-end delay and packet loss are taken into account. The goal of this When this payload goes through each layer, it is packetized paper is to find out the best suboptimal solution for improving into the corresponding packet and the header is added. In order voice traffic over LTE network with some constraints on allowed to protect the voice packet when it is delivered over a noisy maximum end-to-end delay and allowed maximum packet loss. channel, some error correcting technologies are included. The The best suboptimal choice is channel code rate corresponding to Forward Error Correction (FEC) channel code is widely used each mode of the AMR-WB codec that minimizes redundant bits generated by channel coding with an acceptable MOS reduction. in LTE network for data channels is Turbo code. Channel Besides, this algorithm can be integrated with rate control in coding reduces Bit Error Rate (BER), so that the speech AMR-WB codec to offer the required mode of LTE network. quality will be improved. Channel coding encodes a k-bits Our results show that the MOS degradation is not significant, block into a n-bits codeword, thus, the number of redundant but the percent of reduced redundant bits to be very considerable. bits equal to n−k, and so that, the code rate is k=n. This means This will requires less bandwidth, so that, more mobile users can be served. The algorithm has simple computational operations, that the higher channel code rate, the higher speech quality, it can be applied to real-time voice communications. but this leads to the longer delay and the higher redundancy. Index Terms—AMR-WB, Wideband E-model, VoIP, VoLTE, Therefore, there needs to be a tradeoff between speech quality Source-Channel code rate, Adaptive algorithm and channel code rate. There are several authors who have proposed techniques to I. INTRODUCTION improve the speech quality delivered over a noisy channel. In present market of mobile communication in the world, Examples include the works of [3], [4], [5], [6], [7], and [8]. 3GPP LTE is developing strongly and is deployed by the But the closest works related to our paper are represented most communications operators. LTE network is based on All- in [3], [7], and [8]. The authors in [3] present a dynamic IP network and does not support circuit switching method joint source channel coding rate adaptation algorithm for VoIP which is utilized to provide the voice call service in 3G using AMR codec. The algorithm computes the optimal rates networks. So that, in order to support voice service over LTE allocated to each frame for a set given QoS constraints. The network, additional technology has to be included. Voice over aim of their paper is to find the tradeoff between packet loss LTE network (VoLTE) service was developed to supply voice recovery and end-to-end delay to maximize perceived speech and video communication and Short Message Service (SMS) quality. In [7], the authors propose an optimization issue for on the LTE network [1]. According to [1], there are two supplying unequal error protection of speech frames according types of voice traffic over LTE network, those are VoLTE to their importance. An optimization framework for identifying and VoIP. VoLTE was launched in 2012, and at present, the optimal joint source-channel code rate of each voice frame many mobile network operators in the world provide VoLTE based on the frame perceptual importance is proposed in [8]. service. VoLTE is VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) based In that paper, the quality of the received speech signal is multimedia service in which voice call and video conference maximized. services can be supplied. VoLTE is signalling protocol that The aim of this paper is to extend results in [3] in context of enables carrying of voice packets and is guaranteed of given voice traffic over LTE network. Besides, in stead of finding the QoS information by LTE network operator [2]. Otherwise, tradeoff between packet loss recovery and end-to-end delay to VoIP relies on the internet which is done on a “best effort” maximize the perceived speech quality, our proposal focuses basis to deliver voice packets. It is said that VoLTE is basically on finding out the compromise between source code rate a subset of VoIP. It is enhanced VoIP over specific access and channel code rate to minimize the number of redundant technology (LTE) with given QoS information, but it is still bits generated by channel coding with an acceptable Mean VoIP. Opinion Score (MOS) degradation. We would like to offer 1 an other point of view of choosing the channel code rate LTE network for voice compression and decompression. It is corresponding to each mode of AMR-WB codec for voice detailed described in [11]. AMR-WB codec uses a sampling traffic over LTE network. In order to assess speech quality, we rate of 16 kHz, which covers 50-7000 Hz audio bandwidth. use the Wideband E-model [9]. In this model, the transmission It has 9 different codec modes (from mode 0 to mode 8) rating factor (Rwb) is used as a measure of subjective quality. corresponding to 9 source bit rates in range from 6.6 Kb/s This factor is then mapped to the corresponding MOS. In this to 23.85 Kb/s. Each of them generates encoded 20 ms speech paper, a suboptimal solution for joint source-channel code rate frame and switches among them every 20 ms. The bits in adaptation is proposed. The aim of this solution is to find the encoded speech frame to be ordered according to their out the most suitable channel code rate for each mode of subjective importance. These bits are divided into three classes AMR-WB codec and for entire modes of AMR-WB codec. with reducing perceptual importance: Class A, Class B and It takes into account some constraints on maximum allowed Class C. Total bits of each class depends on codec mode. In end-to-end delay and maximum permitted packet loss rate this study, we consider the same level of error protection for for voice traffic over LTE network. We do not consider the these three classes. Thus, the bits of these classes are equally perceived speech quality as the first target to optimize. We protected by channel coding. want to present a suboptimal solution for the tradeoff between In LTE network, AMR-WB codec is configured into 3 speech quality and redundancy caused by channel coding.

  • The Growing Importance of HD Voice in Applications the Growing Importance of HD Voice in Applications White Paper
    White Paper The Growing Importance of HD Voice in Applications The Growing Importance of HD Voice in Applications White Paper Executive Summary A new excitement has entered the voice communications industry with the advent of wideband audio, commonly known as High Definition Voice (HD Voice). Although enterprises have gradually been moving to HD VoIP within their own networks, these networks have traditionally remained “islands” of HD because interoperability with other networks that also supported HD Voice has been difficult. With the introduction of HD Voice on mobile networks, which has been launched on numerous commercial mobile networks and many wireline VoIP networks worldwide, consumers can finally experience this new technology firsthand. Verizon, AT&T, T-Mobile, Deutsche Telekom, Orange and other mobile operators now offer HD Voice as a standard feature. Because mobile users tend to adopt new technology rapidly, replacing their mobile devices seemingly as fast as the newest models are released, and because landline VoIP speech is typically done via a headset, the growth of HD Voice continues to be high and in turn, the need for HD- capable applications will further accelerate. This white paper provides an introduction to HD Voice and discusses its current adoption rate and future potential, including use case examples which paint a picture that HD Voice upgrades to network infrastructure and applications will be seen as important, and perhaps as a necessity to many. 2 The Growing Importance of HD Voice in Applications White Paper Table of Contents What Is HD Voice? . 4 Where is HD Voice Being Deployed? . 4 Use Case Examples .

  • HD Voice – a Revolution in Voice Communication
    HD Voice – a revolution in voice communication Besides data capacity and coverage, which are one of the most important factors related to customers’ satisfaction in mobile telephony nowadays, we must not forget about the intrinsic characteristic of the mobile communication – the Voice. Ever since the nineties and the introduction of GSM there have not been much improvements in the area of voice communication and quality of sound has not seen any major changes. Smart Network going forward! Mobile phones made such a progress in recent years that they have almost replaced PCs, but their basic function, voice calls, is still irreplaceable and vital in mobile communication and it has to be seamless. In order to grow our customer satisfaction and expand our service portfolio, Smart Network engineers of Telenor Serbia have enabled HD Voice by introducing new network features and transitioning voice communication to all IP network. This transition delivers crystal-clear communication between the two parties greatly enhancing customer experience during voice communication over smartphones. Enough with the yelling into smartphones! HD Voice (or High-Definition Voice) represents a significant upgrade to sound quality in mobile communications. Thanks to this feature users experience clarity, smoothly reduced background noise and a feeling that the person they are talking to is standing right next to them or of "being in the same room" with the person on the other end of the phone line. On the more technical side, “HD Voice is essentially wideband audio technology, something that long has been used for conference calling and VoIP apps. Instead of limiting a call frequency to between 300 Hz and 3.4 kHz, a wideband audio call transmits at a range of 50 Hz to 7 kHz, or higher.

Sophisticated perceptual audio coding further exploits perceptual redundancy in audio signals by incorporating perceptual masking phenomena. This thesis focuses on the investigation of different coding transformations that can be used to compute perceptual distortion measures effectively; among them the lapped transform, which is most widely used in nowadays audio coders. Moreover, an innovative lapped transform is developed that can vary overlap percentage at arbitrary degrees. The new lapped transform is applicable on the transient audio by capturing the time-varying characteristics of the signal. iii Sommaire Les paradigmes de codage audio d´ependent des transformations de temps-fr´equence pour enlever la redondance statistique dans les signaux audio et pour r´eduire le taux de trans- mission de donn´ees, tout en maintenant la fid´elit´e´elev´ee du signal reconstruit.

The algorithm is part of the Huawei/ETRI can- didate for the ITU-T super-wideband (SWB) extensions of Rec. G.729.1 and G.718. In the SWB candidate codec, the 7-14 kHz frequency band of speech and audio signals is rep- resented in terms of temporal and spectral envelopes. This description is encoded and transmitted to the decoder. In Frame 63 Frame 64 addition, the fine structure of the input signal is analyzed and compactly encoded. From this compact information, the decoder can regenerate the 7-14 kHz fine structure either by spectral replication or by pitch synthesis.
