The standardization of the codec for Immersive Voice and Audio Services (IVAS) was completed by the 3rd Generation Partnership Project in June 2024. The IVAS codec goes beyond traditional mono voice coding by representing and reproducing the spatial characteristics of sound, creating an immersive au…
A highly error resilient mode of the newly standardized 3GPP EVS speech codec is described. Compared to the AMR-WB codec and other conversational codecs, the EVS channel aware mode offers significantly improved error resilience in voice communication over packet-switched networks such as Voice-over-…
A new codec for Enhanced Voice Services (EVS), the successor of the current mobile HD voice codec AMR-WB, was standardized by the 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) in September 2014. The EVS codec addresses 3GPP's needs for cutting-edge technology enabling operation of 3GPP mobile communicat…
This paper describes the time-domain bandwidth extension (TBE) framework employed to code wideband and super-wideband speech in the newly standardized 3GPP EVS codec. The TBE algorithm uses a nonlinear harmonic modeling technique that incorporates principles of time-domain envelope-modulated noise m…
