Paper deals with implementation of variable bit rate steganographic data transmission over ETSI GSM 06.10 FR coder at five different bitrates. Then, few modifications are suggested in Regular Pulse Excitation section of ETSI GSM FR coder which ultimately claims to produce state of the art proposed GSM FR coder. In contrast with ETSI GSM FR coder, proposed coder also exhibits same bit rate steganographic data transmission. Here, in order to facilitate the same, few RPE pulses are identified and being utilized for embedding and hiding the information bits into them. Key element of this research is to allow for joint speech coding and data hiding and that is accomplished with two different approaches like Fixed and Joint Approach. These both approaches are implemented on both Standard and Proposed coders for their overall analytical evaluation of performance using Subjective (Mean opinion Score and Degraded MOS) and Objective (Perceptual Evaluation of Speech Quality) analysis. Small data information is represented as stego signal which can be embedded over different encoded wave files (chosen from NOIZEUS corpus) that serve as carrier signal. Simulation results for both coders reveal the trade off between data embedding rate and recovered speech quality (for both approaches). It is quite evident from both Subjective and Objective analysis that proposed coder offers comparable performance at the same time with lesser simulation delay because of its inherent constructional difference. It remains the fact that for both the coders, Joint approach performs better but at the cost of more simulation delay.
