1 Scope Word‑p. 6

The present document specifies the digital test sequences for the GSM half rate speech codec. These sequences test for a bit exact implementation of the half rate speech transcoder (GSM 06.20 [2]), Voice Activity Detector (GSM 06.42 [6]), comfort noise (GSM 06.22 [4]) and the discontinuous transmission (GSM 06.41 [5]).

4 General

Digital test sequences are necessary to test for a bit exact implementation of the half rate speech transcoder (GSM 06.20 [2]), Voice Activity Detector (GSM 06.42 [6]), comfort noise (GSM 06.22 [4]) and the discontinuous transmission (GSM 06.41 [5]).

The test sequences may also be used to verify installations of the ANSI C code in GSM 06.06 [7].

Clause 5 describes the format of the files which contain the digital test sequences. Clause 6 describes the test sequences for the speech transcoder. Clause 7 describes the test sequences for the VAD, comfort noise and discontinuous transmission.

Clause 8 describes the method by which synchronization is obtained between the test sequences and the speech codec under test.

Clause 9 describes the optional acceptance testing of the speech encoder and decoder in the TRAU by means of 8 bit A- or μ-law compressed test sequences on the A-Interface.

Electronic copies of the digital test sequences are provided as clause 10, these digital test sequences are contained in archive en_300968v080001p0.ZIP which accompanies the present document.
