Content for TS 26.177 Word version: 18.0.0
The present document specifies the digital test sequences for the DSR Extended Advanced Front-end speech codec. These sequences can be used to test for a bit exact implementation of the DSR Advanced Front-end codec and quantization (
TS 26.243).
The following documents contain provisions, which through reference in this text, constitute provisions of the present document.
-
References are either specific (identified by date of publication, edition number, version number, etc.) or non-specific.
-
For a specific reference, subsequent revisions do not apply.
-
For a non-specific reference, the latest version applies. In the case of a reference to a 3GPP document (including a GSM document), a non-specific reference implicitly refers to the latest version of that document in the same Release as the present document.

Digital test sequences are provided to test for a bit exact implementation of the Distributed Speech Recognition Extended Advanced Front-end (
TS 26.243).
The test sequences may also be used to verify installations of the ANSI C code in
TS 26.243.
Clause 5 describes the format of the files, which contain the digital test sequences.
This clause provides information on the format of the digital test sequences for the DSR Extended Advanced Front-end (
TS 26.243).
The test sequence files in PC (little-endian) byte order are provided in archive files (ZIP format), which accompany the present document.
Following decompression, three types of file are provided:
-
*.inp - Input to the speech encoder.
-
*.cep - Cepstral output of the encoder, input to the quantizer.
-
*.pitch - Pitch output of the encoder, input to the quantizer.
-
*.class - Class output of the encoder, input to the quantizer.
-
*.vad - VAD output of the encoder, input to the quantizer.
-
*.bs - Output of the quantizer
Two test scripts are provided for exercising the Extended Advanced Front-end and quantizer functions.
All file formats are described in
TS 26.243.
Forty-three encoder input sequences are provided, 22 with 8kHz sampling, 23 with 16kHz sampling.
-
8kHz sampling:
T00.INP - T21.INP as described in the AMR test sequences document TS 26.074.
-
16kHz sampling:
T00.INP - T22.INP as described in the AMR WB test sequences document TS 26.174.
