Abstract: A method for measuring the performance of decoding in a telecommunication system comprising a decoder and a testing apparatus for supplying test data to the decoder. A test data comprising channel coded speech parameters and an inband data field in a frame format is generated in the testing apparatus and transmitted to the decoder for decoding. The decoder extracts at least a part of the inband data field from the decoded test data and transmits at least the part of the inband data field back to the testing apparatus. The performance of decoding is measured by comparing the transmitted inband data field and the received inband data field in the test apparatus.

Abstract: A method for determining the performance of decoding in a telecommunication system having a decoder and a testing apparatus for supplying test data to the decoder includes generating test data having signalling data in a signalling frame format, mapping the test data into two consecutive frames and transmitting the test data from the testing apparatus to the decoder for decoding. The signalling data is decoded from the received two test data frames and transmitted back to the testing apparatus encoded in one frame. The performance of decoding is determined by comparing the transmitted signalling data and the received signalling data in the test apparatus.
