WB AMR Feature Parameter Description 2 Overview
2 Overview
2.1 Introduction
The sampling rate of the traditional narrowband speech signals is 8 kHz, and the speech
frequency ranges from 300 Hz to 3400 Hz. With the development of communication
technologies, users have higher requirements for speech quality. The narrowband speech
signals, however, cannot always meet users' requirements for speech quality. WB AMR is
introduced to provide high-grade speech quality.
The sampling rate of WB AMR is 16 kHz, and the speech frequency ranges from 50 Hz to 7
kHz. Compared with AMR, WB AMR has wide high frequency extension and low frequency
extension. Therefore, WB AMR can provide better speech quality. MOSs of WB AMR calls
can be measured using instruments that comply with the P.862.2 or P.863 standard.
In a GSM system, WB AMR specifies five speech encoding rates. In addition, WB AMR
occupies only full-rate channels.
The active codec set (ACS) supported by Huawei WB AMR contains three speech encoding
rates: 6.60 kbit/s, 8.85 kbit/s, and 12.65 kbit/s. The BSC automatically selects an appropriate
speech encoding rate from the ACS.
Table 2-1 lists the speech encoding rates supported by WB AMR.

ACTCDSETWB(BSC6900,BSC6910) specifies an ACS supported by WB AMR. According
to 3GPP TS26.103, if Gaussian minimum shift keying (GMSK) is used for FR calls, a
complete ACS containing 6.6 kbit/s, 8.85 kbit/s, and 12.65 kbit/s must be configured for WB
AMR calls.

WB AMR Feature Parameter Description 3 Technical Description
3 Technical Description
3.1 WB AMR Encoding and Decoding

During a WB AMR call, if a TFO or TrFO connection is established, only the MSs are
required for source coding and decoding; if a TFO or TrFO connection cannot be established,
both the network side and the MSs are required for source coding and decoding. Figure 3-1
shows the process of signal coding and decoding during a WB AMR call.
Figure 3-1 Signal coding and decoding during a WB AMR call
NOTE
Transcoder (TC) is a coding and decoding unit in a BSC or mediate gateway (MGW).
For example, if a TFO or TrFO connection is not established in A over TDM mode:
l For the downlink source coding, the sampling rate for the Pulse Modulation (PCM) code
stream over the A interface is 8 kHz, whereas the WB AMR sampling rate is 16 kHz.
Before encoding the received PCM code stream, the TC therefore increases the sampling
rate to 16 kHz for the PCM code stream decompressed according to the A/ law.
l For the uplink source decoding, the TC decodes the PCM code stream and generates a
PCM code stream with the 16-kHz sampling rate. However, the PCM code stream
transmitted over the A interface uses the 8-kHz sampling rate. In this case, the TC
decreases the sampling rate to 8 kHz, performs compression according to the A/ law,
and then sends the compressed PCM code stream to the A interface.
If one MS (MS 1) involved in a call uses narrowband AMR but the other MS (MS 2) uses
WB AMR:

GSM BSS
l In A over TDM mode:

As shown in Figure 3-2, after the PCM code stream with the 8 kHz sampling rate
arrives at the TC on the MS 2 side, the TC increases the sampling rate for the PCM
code stream, performs the WB AMR source coding, and then sends the encoded
signals to MS 2.
Figure 3-2 Process of coding and decoding narrowband signals from MS 1 to MS 2
As shown in Figure 3-3, after wideband signals with the 16 kHz sampling rate
arrive at the TC on the MS 2 side, the TC performs WB AMR source decoding and
decreases the sampling rate to 8 kHz for the signals. Then, the core network
transmits the obtained PCM code stream to the TC on the MS 1 side. The TC
performs AMR FR source coding and sends the encoded signals to MS 1.
Figure 3-3 Process of coding and decoding wideband signals from MS2 to MS1
l In A over IP mode:
The core network can initiate speech version conversion, which requires support of the
core network, to convert WB AMR to narrowband AMR so that a TrFO connection is
established. An end-to-end narrowband AMR call is then set up.
3.2 WB AMR Speech Rate Adjustment

WB AMR speech rate adjustment refers to the process in which the AMR codec mode of a
call on a channel frequently changes to adapt to the variations of the interference level in the
radio environment.
Each WB AMR codec mode has an adjustment threshold, which is used to select the codec
mode that best suits the carrier-to-interference ratio (CIR) of the interference level in the radio
environment. The hysteresis is introduced to avoid the constant changes of the codec mode.
The value of the threshold ranges from 0 to 63. Value 1 indicates 0.5 dB, and value 2 indicates
1 dB. The rest may be deduced by analogy. The value of the hysteresis ranges from 0 to 15.
The hysteresis value complements the threshold.
INITCDMDWB(BSC6900,BSC6910) specifies the initial WB AMR codec mode used for a
call.
The speech rate adjustment policy of WB AMR is the same as the speech rate adjustment
policy of AMR. For details, see AMR Feature Parameter Description.
The parameters related to WB AMR speech rate adjustment are listed as follows:

GSM BSS
l ULTHWB1(BSC6900,BSC6910)
l ULHYSTWB1(BSC6900,BSC6910)
l DLHYSTWB1(BSC6900,BSC6910)
l DLTHWB1(BSC6900,BSC6910)
l ULTHWB2(BSC6900,BSC6910)
l ULHYSTWB2(BSC6900,BSC6910)
l DLHYSTWB2(BSC6900,BSC6910)
l DLTHWB2(BSC6900,BSC6910)
3.3 Impact on KPIs

The encoding and decoding of WB AMR calls require a large number of resources. Therefore,
when WB AMR is enabled, the number of voice channels supported by a DPUa, DPUc, or
DPUf board decreases in A over TDM mode. Specifically, a DPUa or DPUc board supports a
maximum of 370 WB ARM voice channels, and a DPUf board supports a maximum of 960
WB AMR voice channels. In addition, the network impact of WB AMR is the same as that of
AMR. For details about the network impact, see AMR Feature Parameter Description.

Name
GBFD-115701 TFO Due to the high sampling rate, WB

AMR can provide more spectrum
information on speech signals. The
spectrum information, however, is
partially lost on the A interface due to
the decrease of the sampling rate to 8
kHz. This affects the quality of services
provided by WB AMR.
In A over TDM mode, the TC forcibly
initiates TFO negotiation after a WB
AMR call is set up, If both the calling
and called MSs support TFO, TFO can
be performed.
The TFO messages are transmitted in
fixed bit spacing on a 16 kbit/s
subchannel. The TFO Frame and TFO
Message are transmitted without
encoding or decoding. When the TFO
Frame and TFO Message are
transmitted over the A interface, the
sampling rate does not need to be
decreased. In this way, the spectrum
information on speech signals can be
saved and the speech quality can be
ensured.
GBFD-115702 TrFO In A over IP mode, the MGW performs

the functions of the TC.
Enabling WB AMR in A over IP mode
requires support from the MSC and
MGW. To achieve the optimal speech
quality after WB AMR is enabled,
TrFO must be enabled on the CN.

4.2 TFO
Due to the high sampling rate, WB AMR can provide more spectrum information on speech
signals. The spectrum information, however, is partially lost on the A interface due to the
decrease of the sampling rate to 8 kHz. This affects the quality of services provided by WB
AMR.
In A over TDM mode, the TC forcibly initiates TFO negotiation after a WB AMR call is set
up, If both the calling and called MSs support TFO, TFO can be performed.
The TFO messages are transmitted in fixed bit spacing on a 16 kbit/s subchannel. The TFO
Frame and TFO Message are transmitted without encoding or decoding. When the TFO
Frame and TFO Message are transmitted over the A interface, the sampling rate does not need
to be decreased. In this way, the spectrum information on speech signals can be saved and the
speech quality can be ensured.
4.3 TrFO
In A over IP mode, the MGW performs the functions of the TC.
Enabling WB AMR in A over IP mode requires support from the MSC and MGW. To achieve
the optimal speech quality after WB AMR is enabled, TrFO must be enabled on the CN.
