ETSI ETSI TR 146 076 V14.0.0 (2017-04)63GPP TR 46.076 version 14.0.0 Release 14Executive summary and recommendations Introduction As tasked by SMG in October 1996, SMG11 and SMG2 have conducted a study into the feasibility of the AMR codec concept. The study not only addressed technical fe

28、asibility but also the benefits of AMR in realistic applications, the development plan, time-scales and the resources needed to take the AMR codec and associated network support to completion of the standards. Benefits Unlike previous GSM speech codecs which operate at a fixed rate with a fixed leve

29、l of error protection, the AMR system adapts to local radio channel and traffic conditions and selects the optimum channel (half- or full- rate) and codec mode (speech and channel bit rates) to deliver the best combination of speech quality and capacity. This flexibility provides a number of importa

30、nt benefits: - improved speech quality in both half-rate and full-rate modes by means of codec mode adaptation i.e. varying the balance between speech and channel coding for the same gross bit-rate; - ability to trade speech quality and capacity smoothly and flexibly by a combination of channel and

31、codec mode adaptation; this can be controlled by the network operator on a cell by cell basis; - improved robustness to channel errors under marginal radio signal conditions in full-rate mode. This increased robustness to errors and hence to interference may instead be used to increase capacity by o

32、perating a tighter frequency re-use pattern; - ability to tailor AMR operation to meet the many different needs of operators; - potential for improved handover and power control resulting from additional signaling transmitted rapidly in-band. To investigate the feasibility of realizing these benefit

33、s, a wide-ranging study has been carried out. This has considered not only speech and channel codec performance, but perhaps more critically, channel and codec mode adaptation, the associated signaling and the operation of AMR in realistic radio environments. The one-year timeframe allowed for the S

34、tudy Phase has prevented a thorough assessment of all aspects. However, it has been possible to assess expected performance (quality and capacity) and to identify and assess the risks of the critical areas from a feasibility perspective. Performance The performance benefits have been estimated for s

35、ome of the main applications of AMR, assuming certain system assumptions such as frequency hopping and making a number of simplifications: - in full-rate mode only, the robustness to high error levels is substantially increased such that the quality level of EFR at a C/I of 10dB is extended down to

36、a C/I of 4 dB, measured at the input to the channel equalizer. This will give coverage in-fill advantages in areas of marginal radio coverage. This equates to an improvement of sensitivity of between 4 dB and 6 dB depending on the robustness of the signaling channels; - quality and capacity can be t

37、raded against each other in a controlled manner. Using as a reference an EFR/HR combination with a conventional resource allocation, for the same capacity improvement, AMR will give an average quality improvement corresponding to about 70 % of the difference between FR and EFR. This improvement is r

38、elatively insensitive to C/I. It has also been estimated that for a capacity improvement of about 30 % (relative to FR only), 80 % of calls would have G.728 quality of better, i.e. “wireline“ quality. This tradeoff between % capacity improvement and % of mobiles having wireline quality is sensitive

39、to the local C/I distributions. These have proved to be difficult to estimate reliably. Other individual estimates have shown more optimistic results and the figures quoted probably represent the lower end of the range.

40、 In half-rate mode only which gives the maximum capacity advantage (in excess of 100 % as for normal half-rate), quality improvements are also given (deriving from codec mode adaptation) especially in background noise conditions and at low errors. Under these conditions, the quality level will be at

41、 least as good as that of FR. - The increased resilience channel errors in full-rate mode may allow a tighter frequency re-use giving capacity improvements estimated at up to 30 %, but at the expense of lower speech quality. However, it is unclear at present how terminals without AMR e.g. with FR or

42、 EFR codecs or data terminals should be handled, as they do not have the improved resilience to errors and the speech quality would be degraded. This application requires further study. Risk areas The main performance limitations and technical risk areas have been identified as follows: - codec perf

43、ormance: to achieve the wireline quality benchmark of G.728 in HR mode, the C/I threshold had to be increased from 10 dB to about 18 dB. This will allow the speech quality target still to be achieved but at the expense of lower capacity gain. This is already reflected in the performance results abov

44、e. - background noise: the original performance objective in HR mode was G.728 is better than EFR. This is too demanding and was relaxed to “the better of GSM-FR or G.729“ quality for each type of background noise (vehicle, street, office). This still represents a substantial improvement over the ex

45、isting HR codec. - the difficulties of measuring C/I distributions representative of high capacity networks using other capacity enhancing techniques (e.g. power control, frequency hopping) has made it difficult to make accurate estimates of capacity and quality. Pessimistic forecasts have therefore

46、 been made to illustrate the lower limit. Risk: medium. - channel and codec mode adaptation algorithms. These are crucial to the success of AMR operation and improvements to initial implementations will be possible to optimize performance for real network operating conditions. Risk: medium. - channe

47、l quality metric. It is important that the estimate of the channel quality is sufficiently accurate to ensure that the optimum codec mode is selected. While some solutions have been considered, the feasibility of providing such an accurate metric remains a risk. Risk assessment by SMG2, high; by SMG

48、11, medium. - TFO. Although some potential candidate TFO solutions for AMR have been identified, effective solutions will require significant development. Risk to TFO: medium. - AMR system complexity. The AMR system is relatively complex and introduces new techniques. Risk level: medium. At the conc

49、lusion of the Study Phase, there remain open design issues. However, working assumptions have been reached for most critical areas and other open issues can be resolved in due course without prejudice. Codec development and selection It is recommended that the optimum AMR solution be selected from a number of candidate proposals. To promote integrated solutions with the greatest flexibility for innovative techniques, designers should submit complete solutions including not only the speech and channel codecs, but also the control and signaling system, subject to agreed constra
