Thanks and AMR

Started by Ben June 30, 2004
Thanks to all of you, I have been on www.etsi.org and www.3gpp.org, and
found many interesting things. I have been told moreover than the last
evolution in speech coding for mobile networks was the UMTS AMR, and am
now trying to implemant this piece of code. (It is working quite well,
actually, thanks to the ETSI).

However, I have still some questions, maybe could you help me ?
The AMR compression scheme has a variable data rate compression. On the
two tests I have made, it appears that the "encoded" AMR file is bigger
than my 8KHz 16 bits WAV sample. I have read that the AMR compression
code adds some error detection bytes, and that could be an explanation.

I also have found some information on the RTP protocol. As I am writing
a software for some mobile device, do you think useful to use this
protocol to send the data, or the raw AMR data can be enough ?

Oh and finally, do you know some good online source for this kind of
thing ? I do not think of an "official" website like 3gpp or etsi, but
something more like this mailing, with a forum and some docs ?

Thanks and Have a nice day !
