(G.711 standard [1] dates back to 1972). The G.711 standard presents a coding technique that operates The compression ratio of G.711 standard can be at rate of 64 kbit/s and is widely used in all digital seen to be 1.625:1 (13:8). And all compression is switched telephone networks. But where does the usually good. To transfer more telephone calls with exact rate of 64 kbit/s come ? less transmission equipment means money for the operator and this has resulted that several more The most essential frequency range for the human advanced compression techniques have been speech production system (that is the glottis and developed. the vocal tract) and for the auditory system happens to be between 300-3400 Hz. As the Speech coding techniques in general can be sampling theorem says; to reproduce the original separated to waveform coders (e.g. G.711, G.726, signal after sampling we must use a sampling rate G.722) and to analysis-by-synthesis type of coders that is double the desired frequency band. If (e.g. G.723, G.729, GSM FR). The waveform sampling rate is less the reproduced signal will be coders operate in time domain and they are based distorted by image frequencies of the original on sample-by-sample approach that utilizes the signal.

  • Influence of Speech Codecs Selection on Transcoding Steganography
    Influence of Speech Codecs Selection on Transcoding Steganography Artur Janicki, Wojciech Mazurczyk, Krzysztof Szczypiorski Warsaw University of Technology, Institute of Telecommunications Warsaw, Poland, 00-665, Nowowiejska 15/19 Abstract. The typical approach to steganography is to compress the covert data in order to limit its size, which is reasonable in the context of a limited steganographic bandwidth. TranSteg (Trancoding Steganography) is a new IP telephony steganographic method that was recently proposed that offers high steganographic bandwidth while retaining good voice quality. In TranSteg, compression of the overt data is used to make space for the steganogram. In this paper we focus on analyzing the influence of the selection of speech codecs on hidden transmission performance, that is, which codecs would be the most advantageous ones for TranSteg. Therefore, by considering the codecs which are currently most popular for IP telephony we aim to find out which codecs should be chosen for transcoding to minimize the negative influence on voice quality while maximizing the obtained steganographic bandwidth. Key words: IP telephony, network steganography, TranSteg, information hiding, speech coding 1. Introduction Steganography is an ancient art that encompasses various information hiding techniques, whose aim is to embed a secret message (steganogram) into a carrier of this message. Steganographic methods are aimed at hiding the very existence of the communication, and therefore any third-party observers should remain unaware of the presence of the steganographic exchange. Steganographic carriers have evolved throughout the ages and are related to the evolution of the methods of communication between people. Thus, it is not surprising that currently telecommunication networks are a natural target for steganography.

    Information LSP (Line Spectrum Pair): Essential Technology for High-compression Speech Coding Takehiro Moriya Abstract Line Spectrum Pair (LSP) technology was accepted as an IEEE (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers) Milestone in 204. LSP, invented by Dr. Fumitada Itakura at NTT in 975, is an efficient method for representing speech spectra, namely, the shape of the vocal tract. A speech synthesis large-scale integration chip based on LSP was fabricated in 980.

  • ETSI Multi-Channel GSM Speech Coders
    MOTOROLA DSP56300GSMP/D Semiconductor Software Product Brief (Motorola Order Number) Rev. 0, 09/99 ETSI Multi-Channel GSM Speech Coders Introduction Motorola and Signals + Software have jointly developed DSP software for GSM (Global Systems for Mobile Communications) applications for Motorola’s DSP56300 family. The suite includes the three speech coding functions of the ETSI GSM digital mobile telephone system: Half Rate, Full Rate, and Enhanced Full Rate vocoders. Background The ETSI GSM suite codes narrowband speech (300-3400Hz, sampled at 8kHz) to 13 kb/s, 12.2kb/s, and 5.6 kb/s, respectively. The suite includes the relevant voice activity detection, error concealment, and discontinuous transmission facilities for each coder. Table 1 lists the ETSI specifications that are implemented. Table 1. ETSI GSM Specification Numbers Full-Rate GSM Enhanced Full-Rate GSM Half-Rate GSM Speech transcoding 06.10 06.60 06.20 Substitution/muting of lost 06.11 06.61 06.21 frames Comfort noise generation 06.12 06.62 06.22 Discontinuous transmission 06.31 06.81 06.41 Voice activity detection 06.32 06.82 06.42 Features and Performance The full-rate speech coder uses a regular Pulse Excitation with Long-Term Prediction (RPE-LTP) algorithm. The audio performance for a single encode/decode is judged to be that some degradation is present compared to standard 64b/s PCM (G.711); the degradation is noticeable only over good loudspeaker systems. The enhanced full-rate speech coder uses a coding scheme known as Algebraic Code Excited Linear Prediction Coder (ACELP). The ACELP gives superior audio performance to full-rate GSM, especially for background noise and/or bit errors.
