116 Silence compression
P0937663 03.1
When several calls are made over a full duplex link, all calls share the same transmit path and they
share the same receive path. Since the calls are independent, the peak bandwidth must account for
the possibility that all speakers at one end of the link may talk at the same time. Therefore the peak
bandwidth for n calls is n * the full transmission rate. Figure 49 shows the peak bandwidth
requirements for two calls on a full duplex link with silence compression. Note that the peak
bandwidth is twice the full transmission rate even though the average bandwidth is considerably
less.
The spare bandwidth made available by silence compression is available for lower priority data
applications that can tolerate increased delay and jitter.
Figure 49 Two Calls on a Full Duplex Link With Silence compression
Comfort noise
To provide a more natural sound during periods of silence, comfort noise is added at the
destination gateway when silence compression is active. The source gateway sends information
packets to the destination gateway informing it that silence compression is active and describing
the background comfort noise to insert. The source gateway only sends the information packets
when it detects a significant change in background noise.
