1  Scopep. 5

The present document contains the results obtained from an internationally co-ordinated subjective evaluation conducted by four laboratories to estimate the performance in mobile-to-mobile connections of the GSM half, full, and enhanced full rate speech codecs (including the expected advantages of the Tandem Free Operation), in case of inter-operability in the digital cellular telecommunications system. These (listening-only) tests did not include the effects of Voice Activity Detector, Comfort Noise Insertion and the Discontinuous Transmission.

4  Generalp. 7

Clause 5 describes the testing methodologies adopted for the internationally co-ordinated subjective evaluation of the interoperability HR-FR-EFR.
Clause 6 describes the tools and procedures used by the host laboratory to produce the processed speech material (speech was added with environmental noise, when requested by the experimental design).
Clause 7 describes the results obtained from the set of tests carried out by four laboratories.
Clause 8 describes the conclusions that can be drawn from the analysis of all data that were produced over the two main phases of testing.
