DTMF detection on a GSM AMR bitstream

Started by e_voice61 June 29, 2003
Hi all,

Do anyone know of a way to detect DTMF on a GSM AMR bitstream without
fully decoding it?
I will be happy to know if you can do it on ITU-T voice codecs as
well (G.723.1, G.728, G.729).

Thanks

These codecs are optimized for voice. They are not able to carry DTMF
tones reliably. So even with a full decode, you won't be able to
detect them.

They have to be transmitted out-of-band.

G.728 will pass DTMF tones with perfect results as theory predicts and both lab
and field testing have validated. The same is true for at least Annex E of
G.729.

And as you said, G.723.1 will unfortunately not pass DTMF at either rate. Chuck
