1 The present suite includes a pair of command line programs that exercise
2 libtwamr encoder and decoder in 3GPP test sequence format, allowing this library
3 to be tested against the official test sequences of 3GPP TS 26.074.
4
5 twamr-tseq-enc
6 ==============
7
8 This program reads a *.inp file from the collection of TS 26.074, encodes it
9 per selected AMR mode using libtwamr functions, and emits the encoder output in
10 3GPP-defined .cod format. The command line structure of twamr-tseq-enc is as
11 follows:
12
13 twamr-tseq-enc [-d] [-2] input.inp mode output.cod
14
15 The middle argument specifies the codec mode to be used; there is no default.
16 Ordinarily the mode argument is one of these 8 keywords:
17
18 MR475
19 MR515
20 MR59
21 MR67
22 MR74
23 MR795
24 MR102
25 MR122
26
27 However, this mode argument can also take the form of "file:$modefile", where
28 $modefile is an ASCII text file giving one of the above mode keywords per line.
29 This form is needed when testing the encoding of t21.inp per t21.mod control
30 file.
31
32 twamr-tseq-enc flag options: -d enables DTX, -2 switches the VAD algorithm from
33 VAD1 default to VAD2 alternative. The two options can be combined as -d2.
34
35 twamr-tseq-dec
36 ==============
37
38 This program reads a *.cod file in 3GPP AMR test sequence format, decodes it
39 using libtwamr functions, and emits the decoder output in a raw PCM *.out file.
40 The command line structure of twamr-tseq-dec is as follows:
41
42 twamr-tseq-dec [-r] input.cod output.out
43
44 By default the first word of each *.cod frame is expected to be a Tx frame type
45 as in enum TXFrameType; with -r option this first word is expected to be an Rx
46 frame type as in enum RXFrameType instead. This option directly corresponds to
47 -rxframetype in the reference decoder program from 3GPP.
48
49 Byte order considerations
50 =========================
51
52 Both twamr-tseq-enc and twamr-tseq-dec read and write their input and output
53 files (16-bit linear PCM on one end and 3GPP *.cod test sequence format on the
54 other end) in the local machine's native byte order. 3GPP shipped their
55 TS 26.074 collection of AMR test sequences in little-endian byte order; given
56 that most GSM software developers are now largely forced by economic pressures
57 to work on x86 or ARM architecture machines rather than more noble SPARC or
58 PowerPC systems, the local byte order of the developer's machine will typically
59 be LE, matching TS 26.074 files as published.
