Abstract

3GPP and ITU-T have standardized a multi-rate codec for wideband speech conversational applications. Following a competitive selection process, the adaptive multirate wideband (AMR-WB) specifications were approved in March 2001 as part of 3GPP release 5. The ITU-T Study group 16 approved the same wideband coding algorithm as Recommendation G.722.2 and its Annexes
