g729 problem

[alexpr]

hello!

I have any problem with APS 2.3 and G729 codec.

APS uses a 24 byte G729 frame, in my streaming application I compress from 24 byte to 10 byte in according to the APS doc and g729 standard.

but the quality in bad!!!!!

i think that: I use G729 in encoding but in decodig it is used G729 annex a.

how i can set in APS client (my app) g729 annex a?

thanks

alessandro

Unfortenately you can't set the codec to G729 annex a.

Cheers,

Hi

could you please send me the code that encode and decode
the g729 packet that comes from the aps server or examples of
the 10 bytes packet that should be pulled from the 24 bytes.

Regards,
Noam

When you say the quality is bad, what exactly do you hear?
We've written a G.729 RTP <-> APS converter, but the sound is muffled and low volume.

For example, we're receiving a 20-byte RTP payload. This means it holds 2 G.729 frames, so we start with the first 10 bytes (let's say we put them in 8-bit descriptors b[0]...[9]), and apply the following conversion (according to the APS documentation and RFC 3551):

	TBuf16<12> nokiaBuf;
	nokiaBuf.FillZ(12);
	nokiaBuf[0] = 1; // Full rate
	nokiaBuf[1] =   (TUint16) b[0];
	nokiaBuf[2] = (((TUint16)(b[1] & 0xff)) << 2) | (((TUint16)(b[2] & 0xc0)) >> 6);
	nokiaBuf[3] = (((TUint16)(b[2] & 0x3f)) << 2) | (((TUint16)(b[3] & 0xc0)) >> 6);
	nokiaBuf[4] = (((TUint16)(b[3] & 0x20)) >> 5);
	nokiaBuf[5] = (((TUint16)(b[3] & 0x1f)) << 8) |   (TUint16) b[4];
	nokiaBuf[6] = (((TUint16)(b[5] & 0xf0)) >> 4);
	nokiaBuf[7] = (((TUint16)(b[5] & 0x0f)) << 3) | (((TUint16)(b[6] & 0xe0)) >> 5);
	nokiaBuf[8] =   (TUint16)(b[6] & 0x1f);
	nokiaBuf[9] = (((TUint16)(b[7] & 0x1f)) << 5) | (((TUint16)(b[8] & 0xf8)) >> 3);
	nokiaBuf[10]= (((TUint16)(b[8] & 0x07)) << 1) | (((TUint16)(b[9] & 0x80)) >> 7);
	nokiaBuf[11]=   (TUint16)(b[9] & 0x7f);

Now nokiaBuf[0]...[11] holds the 24-byte frame we can send to APS. After that we repeat it with the remaining 10 bytes of the RTP payload.

If there's any 2-byte frames left, we interpret them as a SID frame and use the following conversion:

	TBuf16<5> nokiaBuf;
	nokiaBuf.FillZ(5);
	nokiaBuf[0] = 2; // SID rate
	nokiaBuf[1] = (((TUint16)(b[0] & 0x80)) >> 7);
	nokiaBuf[2] = (((TUint16)(b[0] & 0x7c)) >> 2);
	nokiaBuf[3] = (((TUint16)(b[0] & 0x03)) << 2) | (((TUint16)(b[1] & 0xc0)) >> 6);
	nokiaBuf[4] = (((TUint16)(b[1] & 0x3e)) >> 1);

However, as said, this leads to a muffled sound. What are we doing wrong?

[dracula78]

Ok, seems some bitshifts were off, resulting in the muffled sound.

Now we're only hearing clicks and pops when decoding and playing g729 audio from an RTP stream. At first we thought this was related to the incorrect handling of SID frames: we tried sending them to APS (after decoding), and we tried ignoring them. But even when the VOIP gateway doesn't send any SID frames, the clicks are audible. For now this remains a mystery...

Hey friends can any one help me how to integrate g729 with pjsip i have tried with intel ipp
but it was giving error Undefined Symbol:_pjmedia_codec_ipp_init Undefined Symbol:_pjmedia_codec_ipp_deinit

Friends its urgent else i may be sacked .....They have given me 1 month time
Plz help
