Hi all, I have a simple question: according to the G729/G723 spec, the input buffer should be 16bit linear PCM code, but the decode of U/A law PCM is 14/13 bit linear code, do I just need shift 2/3 bit before call the G729/G723 codec? What is the standard method to handle this? Thanks in advance! Best Regards, William |

Input for G729 and G723 from U/A law PCM code.

Thank you! You are right on the bandwidth caculation. I am just wonderring how to handle the 16 input requirement for G723/G729 codec when I only have A/U PCM input for example I have a TDM backplane running u-law voice data. Before I can put the voice data to g723 encoder, I need decode the u-law to linear. But it is only 14 bit. If I just throw this 14 bit to the encoder and the encoded data is sent to another system in a typical VoIP gateway application. And unfortunately that system is running a A-law TDM backplane, so it will decode G723 data and obviously it will still be 14 bit resolution, but if these 14 bit resolution linear code is then encoded to A-law PCM to TDM bus, they is 6db gain since A-law only have 13 bit maximum linear resolution! So it seems to me there must be something to normalize the A/U linear code before call vocoder. I just don't know what is standard way to that. I could be wrong in my unstanding, correct me if any.

mu-law/a-law to linear conversion (16 bits) is the decoder part of G.711 PCM coder. ITU has standard (called ITU G.711 ) for it. You should be able to download it from ITU. ITU also provide test vectors for the mu/a-law to linear conversion and linear to mu/a-law conversion. If you want your system communicating with other vendor's system through TDM bus, you have to pass the test vector bit-exactness test. --- In , Zhang Zhenghao <zhang_zhh@y...> wrote: > Thank you! > You are right on the bandwidth caculation. > > I am just wonderring how to handle the 16 input > requirement for G723/G729 codec when I only have A/U > PCM input for example I have a TDM backplane running > u-law voice data.

mu/a-law to linear conversion is the decoder part of G711 PCM coder. ITU defined the standard way to do it. The standard is called ITU G.711. You should be able to download it freely, even source code.

Thank you for reply! I have G.711 standard. The problem I am facing right now is the diffrent resolution linear code from the decode of A/U PCM code. Look at the following senario: U law Decode U law PCM(8 bits)-------------> 14 bit linear code G723 encode ------------> 6.4kbps data( send to another system G723 decode through IP ) --------------> 14 bit linear code A law encode(but A law linear should be 13 bit) -------------> A law PCM (8 bits) so in this case, A law PCM data and u law PCM data don't represent same singal level, there is 6db difference. If I have the knowledge of what kind of PCM code is used, I can do the neccessary A/u conversion. But in the VoIP application, different VoIP gateway could be in different contry that may use different PCM code and from different vendor. So it seems to me some additional normalization for the a/u law linear code to 16 bit linear code for vocoder is needed so that the input and output are all the same resolution linear code(which is actually the requirement of G723/G729 standard).
