摘要
The different formats of codec stream carried in the radio access network and the core network make the double speech encoding/decoding necessary, which degrades the speech quality. Accordingly, codec negotiation technologies are necessary for unifying encoding/ decoding in the whole process. Transcoder Free Operation (TrFO), Tandem Free Operation (TFO), and network quality deciding technology are the leading codec negotiation technologies. The TrFO is a mechanism for optimum selection during the establishment of a call. It tries to establish connection between User Equipment (UE) without Transcoder (TC). Its successful fulfillment enables the efficient utilization of bandwidth. The TFO, a standby technology of TrFO, is the negotiation technology of an in-band codec. With it, the user codec stream is free from the compression and decompression by the voice codec, and the quality of voice can accordingly be improved. The network-quantity deciding technology adopts G.711 or G.729 flexibly according to the number of accessed calls. This allows the access of new calls while won’t increase the load of network too much.
