Product Description

Product Overview:

Enhanced Variable Rate Codec – B (EVRC-B) was standardized by 3GPP2 in 2006. The EVRC codec operates on each 20ms frame of 16-bit speech signals sampled at 8 KHz and generates compressed bit-streams with bit-rates of 8.3, 7.57, 6.64, 6.18, 5.82, 5.45, 5.08, and 4.0 kbps (source encoding rates) respectively. EVRC-B is based on the Code Excited Linear Prediction (CELP), Prototype Pitch Period (PPP), and Noise Excited Linear Prediction (NELP) coding algorithms. It makes greater use of the intermediate coding rates through increased awareness of the nature of the individual speech samples. This more sophisticated coding approach allows EVRC-B to offer a voice quality equivalent to EVRC-A (IS-127), but at significantly lower average coding bit rates. The codec was primarily developed to replace the existing EVRC-A codec used in CDMA networks.
