This best practice provides guidance on configuring AMR/AMR-WB options from EMA in support of a Multimedia Telephony Service for IMS (MTSI) service as described on the page AMR and RTCP Enhancements..

Note

This configuration is performed either on ePSX/PSX and not or on SBC ERE. Make sure you have the correct version of ePSX installed on SBC. This configuration can only be performed both through SBC EMA , not through and SBC CLI. For additional ePSX configuration details via EMA, see Call Routing: System Provisioning - ePSX.

PSX/ePSX Configuration (from EMA)

  1. On the SBC EMA main screen, go navigate to Configuration > System Provisioning > Category: Call Routing > E PSX. The PSX manager window is displayed.

    Mode Change NeighborNANA

    This flag restricts the mode change of an AMR/AMR-WB to the neighboring modes in the Active Codec Mode set. Neighboring modes are the ones closest in bit rate to the current mode, either the next higher or next lower rate.

    If checked, the Egress offer/Ingress answer from SBC sets the Mode-Change-Neighbor value to 1.

    If unchecked, change between any two modes in the Active Codec Mode set is allowed.

    Initial Codec Mode as per 3GPP 26.114NANA

    This flag determines what is the initial codec mode of AMR/AMR-WB transcoded call, once the call is established.

    If unchecked, AMR/AMR-WB call starts with the highest rate in the active mode set. If checked, AMR/AMR-WB call starts with a rate determined by the following algorithm:

    If 1 codec mode is included in the mode-set, it should be the initial codec mode.

    If 2 or 3 codec modes are included in the mode-set, the initial codec mode should be the codec mode with the lowest rate.

    If 4 or more codec modes are included in the mode-set, the initial codec mode should be the codec mode with the second lowest rate.



  5. By default, all the options of AMR-WB Mode Set are checked. To run the calls in a restricted AMR-WB Mode set, uncheck the modes that are not required in the Active Mode Set.

  6. To run the calls in an unrestricted AMR-WB Mode set, select all the mode sets.
