Audio Codec Support

This section summarize audio codec support with and without (pass-through) transcoding selectable on the

Spacevars
0series4
.

Audio codec relay is supported in SIP-SIP, SIP-H.323 and H.323-H.323 interworking calls.

Info
titleNote

The 

Spacevars

does not support transcoding EFR.


Info

selects codecs on a call-by-call basis, and negotiates codec use with destination gateway during initial call setup. The

also renegotiates the media during a call. The 
Spacevars

defines configuration parameters such as audio codec, packet size, and TOS to apply to individual call legs.

For direct media connections, bandwidth and policing requirements do not apply. Audio streams must have different IP port numbers, but may have the same or different remote IP addresses. Audio streams for each call leg can be allocated on the same or different IP interface.

EVS Pass-through Support

The SBC supports use of the Enhanced Voice Services (EVS) codec in pass-through mode. Pass-through of the EVS codec from one call leg to another can occur when EVS is configured in both the ingress and egress PSPs, based on the outcome of SDP offer-answer procedures.

In pass-through mode, all EVS codec parameters in Primary mode as well as AMRWB-IO mode are relayed to the egress peer. 

The SBC drops any unknown parameters received in the a=fmtp: line in the SDP offer or answer, as well as any known EVS codec parameters that have values other than the range defined in the TS 26.114 standard. 

To enable support of EVS, you can configure codec entries that specify EVS as the codec type. The codec entry configuration allows the SBC to restrict certain parameters, like bit-rate, according to the operator's requirements. The configurable options for an EVS-based codec entry include:

  • Packet size 20-100ms supported - default 20 ms
  • Dynamic Preferred RTP Payload Type 0-127 supported - default 96
  • Min Bit Rate - Supported rates are: 5.9, 7.2,8, 9.6, 13.2, 16.4, 24.4, 32, 48, 64, 96, and 128, but must be less than or equal to Max Bit Rate - default 5.9
  • Max Bit Rate - Supported rates are: 5.9, 7.2,8, 9.6, 13.2, 16.4, 24.4, 32, 48, 64, 96, and 128, but must be greater than or equal to Min Bit Rate - default 128
    The configured minimum and maximum for bit rate defines the range the SBC uses in its offer/answers during SDP negotiation.
  • DTMF Relay - Supported values are: None (default), Out Of Band, Rfc2833, Either Oob Or Rfc2833, Both Oob And2833.
  • DTMF Remove Digits - Supported values are Disable and Enable (default).

The configured Codec Entries are then incorporated in Packet Service Profiles (PSP) and assigned to enable EVS support.

platforms support the Opus audio codec in accordance with RFC 6716 and draft-ietf-payload-rtp-opus-01 (refer to Supported Standards page). There are no licensing requirements for this codec.

Opus is an open, royalty-free, highly versatile audio audio codec consisting of a combination of SILK (LPC) and CELT (Constrained-Energy Lapped Transform) codecs. At any given point of time the LP layer, the MDCT (CELT) layer or both may be active. Opus is used for the following applications:

  • VoIP and video conferencing
  • Music/video streaming and storage
  • Remote music jamming
  • Wireless speakers/headphones/microphone
  • Audio books
  • Virtualization/sound servers

Supported Opus Features

The 

Spacevars
0product
platforms include the following Opus functionality:

  • Input sampling rates of 8k Hz (NB) and 16k Hz (WB) are supported on the IDP interface (encoder input and decoder output)
  • Opus-to-Opus pass-through calls
    • Encoding output bandwidths of 8, 12, 16, 24 and 48 kHz
    • 6 kbps to 510 kbps bit rates
  • Opus transcoded calls
    • Max bandwidth Supports bandwidths of 8 and 16 kHz
    • Max bit rate of 20 kbps
  • Mono mode for both pass-through and transcoded calls
  • Stereo mode for Opus-to-Opus pass-through.
  • Inband FEC mode
  • Variable bit rate (VBR) and Constant Bit Rate (CBR) modes are supported
  • DTX mode
  • Single channel mode is supported
  • Fax/Modem tone (FMTD) detection is not supported in Opus leg
  • DTMF (Inband DTMF detection is not guaranteed)

On 

Spacevars
0product2
, Opus DTX is fully supported on both transmitter and receiver sides; however, packets are generated approximately every 200 milliseconds during DTX period.

Any up-sampling or down-sampling may introduce some noise and degrade speech quality. In addition, wideband speech quality is lost if down-sampling is done for wideband-to-narrowband transcoding. However, up-sampling / down-sampling is required for interworking.

Opus transcoding options can be configured using the following parameters:

ParameterBehavior
Maxaveragebitratemin (offer/answer of peer, route PSP, 20kbit/s)
UseinbandfecInband FEC is used, if useinbandfec is set in the route PSP and if the peer requests it
usedtxDTX is used, if usedtx is set in the route PSP and if the peer requests it
usecbrConstant bit rate if either peer requests cbr=1 OR route is configured for cbr=1

Codecs Supported with GPU Transcoding

The GPU transcoding solution supports the following codecs:

  • AMR-NB
  • AMR-WB
  • EVRC
  • EVRCB
  • G729
  • G722

In addition, G.711 is supported for GPU instances, but only when G.711 is being transcoded to a non-G.711 codec. The coding rates and packetization times applicable for the supported codecs in the GPU use case are the same as those shown in the previous tables for the same codecsFor more information, refer to Codec Entry - CLI.
