Abstract: Vocoder bypass is provided using a combination of out-of-band and in-band signaling. In preferred embodiments of the present invention, two signaling channels are arranged for transmission within the compressed speech. Each of the signaling channels are communicated at a preferred rate to permit fast, reliable detection of conditions indicating vocoder bypass mode of operation and to synchronize and communicate compressed speech in a vocoder bypass mode of operation.
