 Pretty sure G.722 is obsolete and has been rolled into G.726
 Most GSM systems use a variant of CELP, ACELP I think.  G.729 I think.
 All of the CELP methods suck when compared to G.711/22/26 PCM/ADPCM 
 methods.

I know.  ATT and T-Mobile use GSM (the GSM for wireless is the same as 
the
 GSM VoIP codec).  I dunno if the CDMA operators translate to anything in
 the
 VoIP world or not.

 I've tested with various codecs and I may use G.729 at some point, but 
 for
 now I'm limiting myself to G.711 and G.722 once I get some business
 customers interested in it.

 The cell carriers aren't using G711.  I haven't seen how much a UMA call
 takes up, but I'd bet it's less than the 90K of G.711u.  UMA basically
 encapsulates a GSM stream inside of an IPSEC tunnel.  EDGE traffic gets
 up to 100K+ when surfing or downloading files, so I could see a data
 stream over UMA going up to 150-200K.

 If you're talking EVDO data transfers via a femtocell, it could get up
 to a couple megabits (whatever they're touting EVDO's capability as,
 plus some overhead for security).

 femtocells

 This is a great innovation that can help wisps gain market share.

 With these femtocells, the cell phone works in the house so the
 consumer

 doesn't need to have an extra land line.
 The customer is probably paying 80.00 or so for their dsl - telephone
 line.
 No land line needed for us wisps, the customer's 80.00 telco package
 is
 now
 in play. Maybe they want to trade it in for a faster and probably
 lesser
 expensive internet connection.

 It's a good opportunity for us, or the cable company.

VoIP faxing currently sucks.  G.711 technically can do it, but if there is 
ANY network oddities, it won't work.  T.38 is supposed to be the savior, but 
it's been hell getting my providers to work.  Their vendors use broken 
implementations and refuse to fix it.

If you look up the spec for G.726 you will find it supercedes the 722.  That 
said, the 722 is the only ADPCM g code I would use.  726 has other things

Re: [WISPA] Femtocells

2008-04-07 Thread Chuck McCown - 2
G.726 @ 32 kbps should be a lossless ADPCM transcoding of  normal PCM G.711. 
I have listened to many codec and vocoder tests over the years and I could 
never hear the difference between PCM and ADPCM.  I think that the 32k 
variant conveys all of the same data as uncompressed PCM.  Nice thing is it 
runs at half the speed.

PCM (for those who don't know) samples the voice 8000 times a second and 
sends an 8 bit representation of the analog level of the audio at the time 
of the sample.  That is how you get 64 kbps.  (robbed bit signaling takes 1 
bit out of every frame for signaling so many times we used to actually get 
56kbps)

The analog level codes are not linear, they are skewed to give more 
resolution at the lower audio levels in a process called companding. 
Companding significantly improves the signal to noise ratio.  That is what 
they are referring to when they talk about mu law or A law PCM (or G.711). 
You have to have the right companding code selected or it will sound like 
UFOs have landed and are taking over.  I have never been able to hear the 
difference between mu and A law companding either.  A law was an 
international standard, mu law is used for US and Japan.

ADPCM takes the same data of PCM and then transmits only the difference 
between samples, not the samples themselves.  So, all the data is recovered 
but it requires a lower rate of transmission.  There are variants of ADPCM 
that came along later to give even lower data rates.  If you use G.726 make 
sure to select the 32 kbps if you are interested in keeping the voice 
quality up there.  There is a 40 kbps option for G.726.  I don't have a clue 
as to what it is about.

 femtocells

 This is a great innovation that can help wisps gain market share.

 With these femtocells, the cell phone works in the house so the consumer

 doesn't need to have an extra land line.
 The customer is probably paying 80.00 or so for their dsl - telephone
 line.
 No land line needed for us wisps, the customer's 80.00 telco package is
 now
 in play. Maybe they want to trade it in for a faster and probably
 lesser
 expensive internet connection.

 It's a good opportunity for us, or the cable company.

Last I heard, some of the cell carriers are using CELP.  That works pretty 
good but is noticeably worse than the PCM and ADPCM methods.

 The cell carriers aren't using G711.  I haven't seen how much a UMA call
 takes up, but I'd bet it's less than the 90K of G.711u.  UMA basically
 encapsulates a GSM stream inside of an IPSEC tunnel.  EDGE traffic gets
 up to 100K+ when surfing or downloading files, so I could see a data
 stream over UMA going up to 150-200K.

 If you're talking EVDO data transfers via a femtocell, it could get up
 to a couple megabits (whatever they're touting EVDO's capability as,
 plus some overhead for security).

Pretty sure G.722 is obsolete and has been rolled into G.726
Most GSM systems use a variant of CELP, ACELP I think.  G.729 I think.
All of the CELP methods suck when compared to G.711/22/26 PCM/ADPCM methods.

I guess I should qualify that a bit.  They suck when you are comparing voice

They are superior when delivering arguably acceptable voice communication 
with a minimum of bandwidth.

g.729 should from a mathematic point of view be able to do everything 
g.711 does.

 G.711 *can* support FAXing, otherwise g.729 is very common for voice.

 for
 now I'm limiting myself to G.711 and G.722 once I get some business
 customers interested in it.

 The cell carriers aren't using G711.  I haven't seen how much a UMA call
 takes up, but I'd bet it's less than the 90K of G.711u.  UMA basically
 encapsulates a GSM stream inside of an IPSEC tunnel.  EDGE traffic gets
 up to 100K+ when surfing or downloading files, so I could see a data
 stream over UMA going up to 150-200K.

 If you're talking EVDO data transfers via a femtocell, it could get up
 to a couple megabits (whatever they're touting EVDO's capability as,
 plus some overhead for security).

 femtocells

 This is a great innovation that can help wisps gain market share.

 With these femtocells, the cell phone works in the house so the
 consumer

 doesn't need to have an extra land line.
 The customer is probably paying 80.00 or so for their dsl - telephone
 line.
 No land line needed for us wisps, the customer's 80.00 telco package 
 is
 now
 in play. Maybe they want to trade it in for a faster and probably
 lesser
 expensive internet connection.

 It's a good opportunity for us, or the cable company.

Re: [WISPA] Femtocells

2008-04-04 Thread Bryan Scott
It's interesting to see how the wireless carriers are trying to compete 
with VoIP and (at the same time) leverage the broader coverage of 
broadband in areas where cell service is weak.

On the cool side:

A few of us here have been using T-Mobile's wifi service and GSM+WiFi 
phones for the past 8 or so months. Calls made over a WiFi connection 
don't count against minutes.  That's a no-brainer since we're at home or 
the office 90% of the time.  When we go to our remote sites where there 
is no cell coverage, I still have service if I can get WiFi 
connectivity.  I bought an AirPort Express to take along for just that 
reason.

On the down side:

They're launching a VoIP product that competes directly with one we're 
about to launch; theirs is less, but it requires the cell phone contract 
to be oh-so much, almost making it a wash.  Luckily they're not in our 
market.

Whether you're for UMA over WiFi or Femtocell, it certainly enhances the 
value of the cell phone + Internet connection.
