1 TFO transform: general definition and goal
2 ==========================================
3
4 "TFO transform" is the term adopted by Themyscira Wireless for the non-trivial
5 transform on GSM codec frames called for by the TFO spec, 3GPP TS 28.062
6 section C.3.2.1.1. We have a goal of implementing TFO transform for all 3
7 classic GSM codecs (FR, HR and EFR) in our Themyscira codec libraries; in the
8 present release, only GSM-FR version has been implemented.
9
10 The input to this transform is the stream of received uplink frames from call
11 leg A, possibly containing BFI frame gaps and SID frames if call leg A uses
12 DTXu. The output from the transform is a "pristine" stream of good codec frames
13 to be transmitted on the radio downlink for call leg B: good speech frames only
14 in the non-DTXd case, or a mixture of good speech and valid SID frames with
15 DTXd. TFO transform is expected to be an identity transform when the input is
16 100% good speech frames, but it becomes non-trivial when it has to insert
17 synthetic "speech" frames for comfort noise or as error concealment.

19 TFO transform for FRv1
20 ======================
21
22 This transform is implemented in libgsmfr2 in both DTXd=0 and DTXd=1
23 configurations. DTXd=0 version of FRv1 TFO transform is mostly identical with
24 the Rx DTX handler preprocessor stage of regular speech decoding (the only
25 difference is in details of the in-band homing function); DTXd=1 version is
26 specific to this TFO/TrFO application.
27
28 In addition to libgsmfr2 functions documented in FR1-library-API article, there
29 is a command line test program that exercises our implementation of this TFO
30 transform. Its usage is:
31
32 gsmfr-tfo-xfrm [-d] input.hex output.hex
33
34 Both input and output files are in TW-TS-005 Annex A hexadecimal format. The
35 input will typically consist of TW-TS-001 extended RTP format, whereas the
36 output is always emitted in the basic format, pure GSM-FR codec frames only.
37
38 -d option enables DTXd, which is disabled by default.
