Comfort Noise Generator - kanhaiya - 2004-10-08 03:01:00

Dear Experts

Well I've read a few previous posts on this aspect. The documents or
references I used were:

RTP Payload for Comfort Noise RFC3389.
Appendix II of G.711
Annex B of G.729

Well my query is regarding implementation of a codec independent CNG:

1) Which excitation is best for this CN (white or pink)?
2) I tried with only noise energy level transmission, and generating
pink noise at the decoder and scaling the level to the level
transmitted. Didn't seem to sound too good. Which implementation is
found to be decent/good for CN?
3) Has anyone tried or is it better with transmission of the
Reflection coefficients (spectral info) for better sounding CN?
4) If so what should be the order of the filter suggested? or less
costly in terms of MIPS?

Regards
kanhaiya

Could some one address my queries please? I'm sure there would be some
one who's worked on comfort noise generation

Regards
Kanhaiya

If I remember correctly, the comfort noise feature they added to G.711 
is actually the comfort noise feature originally defined in G.729. I 
also seem to recall that G.729 fully defines how comfort noise should be 
implemented. That is considered a fairly good comfort noise technique. 
Why not just implement that? One implementation should be in the G.729 
reference code, although it unclear what rights you may/may not have to 
reuse that code in a real product. It isn't the lowest MIPs technique 
possible, but you need to decide what you want - cheap or good. I doubt 
you can have both.

Personally, I think CNG sucks, even in the best implementations. It is, 
however, marginally better than using nothing at all.

Regards,
Steve

Yes I have seen the code, but they use the LSF's. I wanted one just
using the Reflection coeffs as described int he Appendix II of G.711,
which they say is cheaper in terms of MIPS.
