Overview: The CS-ACELP (Conjugate-Structure Algebraic Code Excited Linear Prediction) is a bit-exact implementation of ITU G.729 for the TMS320C6x. G.729 is an international standard for encoding 8 kHz sampled speech signals for transmission over 8kbps channels. G.729 encodes 80 sample frames (10 ms) of 16-bit linear PCM data into ten 8-bit code words. G.729 provides near toll quality performance under clean channel conditions.

RadiSys' G.729 coder operates on 10 ms frames with 5 ms of lookahead, allowing low transmission delays. The coder offers good speech quality in network impairments such as frame loss and bit errors, and is suitable for applications such as voice over frame relay, teleconferencing or visual telephony, wireless telephony, and voice logging. Additional bandwidth savings are possible via voice activity detection (G.729 Annex B).

Ideal Performance:
Algorithm Verification: Full ITU test vectors compatibility. Listening, continuous and DTMF tone passing tests on SPIRIT-6000
