114 Silence compression
P0937663 03.1
When silence compression is enabled, voice packets are only sent when a speaker is talking. In a
typical voice conversation while one speaker is talking, the other speaker is listening – a half
duplex conversation. Figure 45 shows the peak bandwidth requirements for one call a half-duplex
link with silence compression enabled. Because the sender and receiver alternate the use of the
shared channel, the peak bandwidth requirement is equal to the full transmission rate. Only one
media path is present on the channel at one time.
Figure 45 One Call on a Half Duplex Link With Silence compression
The affect of silence compression on half-duplex links is, therefore, to reduce the peak and average
bandwidth requirements by approximately 50% of the full transmission rate. Because the sender
and receiver are sharing the same bandwidth, this affect can be aggregated for a number of calls.
Figure 46 shows the peak bandwidth requirements for two calls on a half-duplex link with silence
compression enabled. The peak bandwidth for all calls is equal to the sum of the peak bandwidth
for each individual call. In this case, that is twice the full transmission rate for the two calls.
