Product Description

Codec Overview:

G.729AB speech codec was standardized by ITU-T in 1996. The codec operates on each 10ms frame of 16-bit speech signals sampled at 8 KHz and generates a compressed bit-stream of 8 kbps. It has a look-ahead delay of 5 ms and uses conjugate-structure algebraic code excited linear prediction (CS-ACELP) algorithm for compression. Annex A of the standard specifies a low complexity version and Annex B specifies a voice activity detection (VAD) algorithm as well the discontinuous transmission mode of operation. In 2005, ITU-T extended the Annex-B to provide additional options for the VAD algorithm. The decoder supports an inherent packet loss concealment algorithm. The codec is widely used in VoIP applications.
