AMR- WB & AMR- NB

Hi to all, I am doing projects of AMR- WB(ITU G.722.2) & AMR- NB implementation on ARM9E. I have the following doubts, please clarify. 1) What are the standards for AMR- NB? Is 3gpp AMR-NB same as ITU G.723.1 ? 2) AMR- WB and GSM-AMR are same or not ? 2) What is the difference b...

AMR Optimization

Hello all, I would like some (no, make that a lot of help) concerning AMR optimization. basically my situation is this. The carrier is GSM 850 and recently deployed AMR across a section of the network which was experiencing high blockage, high handover failure, high drop calls etc. I recently joi...

Hi Dmitry, Thanks for your information. Can you tell me, What is the difference between ARM and TI- processors in the MIPS point of view ? Approximately how many days one guy will take to complete AMR - WB & AMR projects on ARM 9E,If he is having the fixed C-code ? Best Rega...

AMR codec implementations

Hi, I am looking at running the AMR 3GPP codec on an ARM9TDMI platform. This not strictly a DSP, but I've looked around and I haven't seen much about AMR except the ETSI reference codec so I thought I could ask here. My question is - has anybody seen a fixed-point 32-bit implementation of the...

AMR-Codec / Patent?

Hello! Does anyone know about a patent on the AMR codec? And if a patent exists - who is contact for licensing? On the ETSI IPR search there's only mentioned that "Ericsson claims to have some patents (pending) around AMR". The ANSI C code example from 3GPP (26.073) is completely without...

AMR WB+ (fixed point) Frame duration

Hi all, I am trying to port AMR WB+ (fixed point Base line) to some platform. I want to calculte MIPS consumption of the codec. I know, if it takes 'X' million instructions per frame on the processor and 'T' is the frame duration, then MIPS = X/T I have the value of X with me. Can an...

GSM AMR on blackfin.

I am working on a GSM AMR codec. I have optimized the codec for real time operation on a Blackfin DSP on the 533 evaluation board. I capture the input and play it out. I have put the system in two configurations: (a) No codec, plain loopback of the captured sound on the output speaker. I get g...

GSM AMR optimization

GSM AMR output

Greetings. The GSM AMR output has only 0xff81 and 0x007f only. Why is it not that one can compress the stream further that sends the number of ff81 and number of 7f in the encoder output stream. as in: ff81 ff81 007f 007f 007f 007f 007f 007f 007f can be: ff81 02 007f 07 ... or some other fla...

LP analysis in AMR speech codec

Hi, In the transcoding document provided by 3GPP standard for AMR speech codec, in the section LP analysis it is mentioned that auto-corelation r(0) is multiplied by the white noise correction factor 1.0001 which is equivalent to adding a noise floor at -40dB. Could someone explain more a...
