The following libraries are currently envisioned: +Themyscira Wireless GSM codec libraries & utilities package +=========================================================== -libgsmfrp A preprocessor to be invoked prior to gsm_decode() from classic - libgsm, implementing GSM 06.11, 06.12 and 06.31 functionality - in the Rx direction. +Themyscira Wireless, a technical initiative of the Women's Republic of +Themyscira, is proud to present this package of GSM codec libraries and +associated command line test and development utilities. The present package +provides two linkable C libraries, intended to be usable by any application +that needs GSM codec functionality: libgsmefr An implementation of EFR codec in the same spirit as classic - libgsm, i.e., like libgsm, but for EFR instead of 06.10. It - will be based on the reference code from ETSI. + libgsm, i.e., like libgsm, but for EFR instead of 06.10. It is + based on the reference code from ETSI. + +libgsmfrp An Rx DTX handler preprocessor to be invoked prior to + gsm_decode() from classic libgsm, implementing GSM 06.11, 06.12 + and 06.31 functionality in the Rx direction. + +These two libraries are intended primarily for use as part of GSM network +deployment, i.e., as part of the necessary speech transcoder implementation in +whichever network-side server process acts as the voice gateway to PSTN or +other networks. However, they can also be used as part of development and +testing on the mobile side of GSM: for example, to decode TCH downlink bits and +voice memo recordings read out of FreeCalypso GSM MS devices, or to implement +your own lab-oriented GSM MS on top of some other PHY. -libgsmamr A similar deal for AMR, only a fuzzy idea currently. +Each of these two Themyscira libraries (libgsmefr and libgsmfrp) is free- +standing and independent of the other. libgsmfrp makes use of <gsm.h> header +file from libgsm (for gsm_byte and gsm_frame defined types) and requires this +header file in order to compile; libgsmefr has zero dependencies nominally but +will often be used together with libgsm and libgsmfrp. + +Included command line utilities +=============================== + +In addition to the two main libraries, the present package includes a number of +command line utilities, falling into the following groups: + +* Some utilities specifically exercise and test the two core libraries; + +* Some utilities are not specifically for library testing but make use of + our libraries; + +* Some utilities are included because they implement some closely related and + relevant debug and development functionality, even though they don't link + with either libgsmefr or libgsmfrp. + +Please see the included documentation in the doc subdirectory.
