| Abstract: | Description and design of the source-controlled variable-rate multimode wideband (VMR-WB) codec recently selected by the 3rd Generation Partnership Project 2 (3GPP2) for the cdma2000® system in Rate-Set II are presented. This paper gives an overview of the codec and the methodologies that enabled high quality wideband coding at average data rates ranging from TIA/EIA/IS-733 ADR to that of TIA/EIA/IS-127. The codec has three modes of operation at different average data rates and a fourth mode that is interoperable with 3GPP/AMR-WB (ITU-T/G.722.2). Despite the interoperability constraint, the codec was capable of meeting the aggressive performance requirements through the use of novel techniques such as noise suppression, efficient signal classification, new coding types optimized for stable voiced and unvoiced frames, novel post-processing technique for periodicity enhancement in the lower frequency band, and improved frame erasure concealment mechanisms. | ||
