Abstract
The Third Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) and European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI) have carried out development and standardisation of a wideband speech codec for GSM and the third generation mobile communication WCDMA system since 1999. The Adaptive Multi-Rate Wideband (AMR-WB) codec algorithm was selected in December 2000, and the corresponding specifications were approved in March 2001. The AMR-WB codec was jointly developed by Nokia and VoiceAge. AMRWB extends the audio bandwidth from 3.4 kHz to 7 kHz and gives superior speech quality and voice naturalness compared to existing 2nd and 3rd generation mobile communication systems. The wideband speech service provided by the AMRWB codec will give mobile communication speech quality that even exceeds (narrowband) wireline quality.
