Abstract: A speech signal is transmitted over a radio path by a mobile station, and is received in a first base station. The speech signal, encoded using encoding parameters, is forwarded in the information frames from the first base station to a remotely located speech decoder. Each of the information frames carries a synchronization word and a synchronization check bit recurring at predetermined intervals within the information frame. The information frames are received at the remote speech decoder. The remote speech decoder is synchronized with one of the received information frames using the synchronizing word. Speech encoding parameters are extracted from the received information frames, and the recurring synchronization check bit is monitored within the received information in order to detect an error in the recurring synchronization check bit in the received information frames.

Abstract: A compression method and apparatus for a transmission link in a telecommunications network between switching centers each associated with a compression apparatus connected thereto by a number of PCM transmission channels for receiving a speech signal from each PCM transmission channel and transferring the speech signal via an interconnecting PCM link having a transmission capacity lower than the number of transmission channels received from the switching center to the other compression apparatus. The speech signal between the first switching center and the compression apparatus is either a pure PCM coded speech signal or a PCM coded speech signal in which one or more least significant bits of the PCM samples provide a sub-channel for lower-rate vocoded speech containing the same speech information as the PCM samples but in a vo-coded format.

Abstract: A transcoder which prevents tandem coding of speech in a mobile-to-mobile call within a mobile communication system uses a speech coding method for reducing transmission rate on the radio path. The transcoder includes a speech coder, which encodes the speech signal into speech parameters for transmission to a mobile station, and decodes the speech parameters received from the mobile station into a speech signal according to the speech coding method, as well as a PCM coder for transmitting an uplink speech signal to and for receiving a downlink speech signal from a PCM interface in the form of PCM speech samples. In addition to the normal operation, the transcoder transmits and receives speech parameters through a PCM interface in a subchannel formed by least significant bits of the PCM speech samples. Thus, it is possible to prevent tandem coding while maintaining the standard PCM interface, and the signaling and services associated thereto.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a digital mobile communication system in which mobile stations (MS) and the fixed network comprise speech coders. The speech coders of the fixed network are located remote from the base stations (BTS) in transcoders (TRCU). In MMC calls, however, the transcoders are controlled to operate so that the frames received from a first base station (BTS) are forwarded with minor modifications through a pair of tandem connected transcoders to a second base station, without carrying out any speech encoding or decoding in the trancoders. Consequently, speech coding is only carried out in the mobile stations, and the speech parameters are simply passed through the mobile communication network, resulting in a significant improvement in the speech quality as compared with the conventional tandem coding.
