2 Wideband codecs Last year, wideband extensions of narrowband codecs have been standardised G providing high packetized wideband voice quality with scalability and interoperability with existing G.729 based VoIP networks and terminals EVRC-WB providing wideband in 3GPP2 networks using the same rate set as the current EVRC. Other ITU-T wideband codecs G.722 Mainly used in conference call, but introduced also in VoIP networks G providing wideband in 3GPP networks (also called AMR-WB) tandeming and transcoding p 2 research & development France Telecom Group

12 Conclusion on Wideband Quality All these codecs provide high wideband quality that can be roughly divided into 2 categories: Maximum wideband quality for the most recent codecs at their maximum bit rates: very close to "direct" quality in the test conditions Slightly lower quality for these codecs when operating at reduced bit rates around kbit/s and for G.722 at 64 kbit/s but for much reduced complexity tandeming and transcoding p 12 research & development France Telecom Group

17 Conclusion on tandemming and transcoding Codecs self tandemings produce quite limited quality degradations of around 0.2 MOS-LQSW. Transcodings between different wideband formats produce more significant degradation : G722 AMR-WB transcoding quality score 0.2 to 0.4 MOS-LQSW below G k quality. tandeming and transcoding p 17 research & development France Telecom Group
