Standardized Coders

Few words about the ITU.
International Telecommunication Union is an international organization within which governments and the private sector coordinate global telecom networks and services. The International Telecommunication Union Telecom Standardization Sector (ITU-T) is a permanent organ of the ITU. The ITU-T is responsible for studying technical, operating and tariff questions and issuing Recommendations on them with a view to standardizing telecommunications on a worldwide basis. The recommentations for the G-series are proposed for transmission systems and media, digital systems and networks.

Internet telephony services must operate in a bandwidth-, delay-, loss- and cost-constrained environment. In the following three ITU codecs are proposed which have been designed to work well in the presence of these constraints.


G.728
Is a 16kbit/s speech coder with a very low delay but with a hugh computational complexity (30 MIPS, 2000 words RAM). Therefore the required power and the costs are considerable.
G.729
8 kbit/s Conjugate-Structure Algebraic-Code-Excided Linear-Prediction (CS-ACELP)
G.723.1
Dual Rate Speech Coder for Multimedia Communications Transmitting at 5.3 and 6.3 kbit/s.
6.3 kbit/s MP-MLQ
5.3 kbit/s ACELP
G.729 Annex A
