Attached to this document is an electronic copy of the floating-point C code for the Immersive Voice and Audio Services (IVAS) Codec. This C code is the unique alternative reference specification besides the fixed-point C code for the IVAS Codec (3GPP TS 26.251) for a standard compliant implementation of the IVAS Codec (TS 26.253), Rendering (TS 26.254), Error Concealment of Lost Packets (TS 26.255) and Jitter Buffer Management (JBM) (TS 26.256). The bit-exact fixed-point C code in 3GPP TS 26.251 is the preferred implementation for all applications, but the floating-point codec may be used instead of the fixed-point codec when the implementation platform is better suited for a floating-point implementation. Requirements for any implementation of the IVAS codec to be standard compliant are specified in TS 26.252 (Test sequences).

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.
