This document specifies the payload formats for packetization of EVRC-WB encoded speech signals into the Real-time Transport Protocol (RTP). It defines support for the header-free, interleaved/bundled, and compact bundle packet formats for the EVRC-WB codec as well as discontinuous transmission (DTX) support for EVRC-WB encoded speech transported via RTP. The EVRC-WB codec offers better speech quality than the EVRC and EVRC-B codecs. EVRC-WB belongs to the EVRC family of codecs. This document also updates the media type registrations for the EVRC-B codec.
The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT", "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in this document are to be interpreted as described in RFC 2119 [1].
EVRC-WB is a wideband extension of the EVRC-B [4] speech codec developed in the Third Generation Partnership Project 2 (3GPP2) with support for discontinuous transmission (DTX). It provides enhanced (wideband) voice quality.
The EVRC-WB codec operates on 20-ms frames, and the default sampling rate is 16 kHz. Input and output at an 8-kHz sampling rate are also supported. The EVRC-WB codec can operate in three modes (0, 4, and 7) defined in [5]. EVRC-WB modes 4 and 7 are interoperable with EVRC-B. EVRC-WB mode 4 uses full-rate, 1/2-rate, and 1/8-rate frames. EVRC-WB mode 7 uses only 1/2 rate and 1/8 rate frames. Mode change results in codec output bit-rate change but do not cause any decoding problems at the receiver. For successful decoding, the decoder does not need to know the encoder's current mode of operation. EVRC-WB provides a standardized solution for packetized voice applications that allow transitions between narrowband and wideband telephony. The most important service addressed is IP telephony. Target devices can be IP phones or Voice over IP (VoIP) handsets, media gateways, voice messaging servers, etc.
The EVRC-WB codec operates on 20-ms frames. It produces output frames of one of the three different sizes: 171 bits, 80 bits, or 16 bits. In addition, there are two zero-bit codec frame types: blank (null) frames and erasure frames. The default sampling rate is 16 kHz. Input and output at an 8-kHz sampling rate are also supported.
The frame type values and sizes of the associated codec data frames are listed in the table below:
Value Rate Total codec data frame size in bytes (and in bits)
--------------------------------------------------------------------
0 Blank 0 (0 bit)
1 1/8 2 (16 bits)
2 1/4 5 (40 bits)
3 1/2 10 (80 bits)
4 1 22 (171 bits; 5 bits padded at the end)
5 Erasure 0 (SHOULD NOT be transmitted by sender)
The format of the RTP header is specified in RFC 3550 [6]. The EVRC-WB payload formats (Section 6) use the fields of the RTP header in a manner consistent with RFC 3550 [6].
EVRC-WB also has the capability to operate with 8-kHz sampled input/ output signals. The decoder does not require a priori knowledge about the sampling rate of the original signal at the input of the encoder. The decoder output can be at 8 kHz or 16 kHz regardless of the sampling rate used at the encoder. Therefore, depending on the implementation and the electro acoustic audio capabilities of the devices, the input of the encoder and/or the output of the decoder can be configured at 8 kHz; however, a 16-kHz RTP clock rate MUST always be used. The RTP timestamp is increased by 320 for each 20 milliseconds.
The RTP header marker bit (M) SHALL be set to 1 if the first frame carried in the packet contains a speech frame that is the first in a talkspurt. For all other packets, the marker bit SHALL be set to zero (M=0).
Three RTP packet formats are supported for the EVRC-WB codec -- the interleaved/bundled packet format, the header-free packet format, and the compact bundled packet format. For all these formats, the operational details and capabilities, such as Table of Contents (ToC), interleaving, DTX, and bundling, of EVRC-WB are exactly the same as those of EVRC-B, as defined in [3], except that the mode change request field in the ToC MUST be interpreted according to the definition of the RATE_REDUC parameter as defined in EVRC-WB [5]. The media type audio/EVRCWB maps to the interleaved/bundled packet format, audio/EVRCWB0 maps to the header-free packet format, and audio/EVRCWB1 maps to the compact bundled packet format.
Congestion control for RTP SHALL be used in accordance with RFC 3550 [6], and with any applicable RTP profile, e.g., RFC 3551 [11].
Due to the header overhead, the number of frames encapsulated in each RTP packet influences the overall bandwidth of the RTP stream. Packing more frames in each RTP packet can reduce the number of packets sent and hence the header overhead, at the expense of increased delay and reduced error robustness.
The storage format is used for storing EVRC-WB encoded speech frames, e.g., as a file or email attachment.
The file begins with a magic number to identify the vocoder that is used. The magic number for EVRC-WB corresponds to the ASCII character string "#!EVCWB\n", i.e., "0x23 0x21 0x45 0x56 0x43 0x57 0x42 0x0A".
The codec data frames are stored in consecutive order, with a single ToC entry field, extended to one octet, prefixing each codec data frame. The ToC field is extended to one octet by setting the four most significant bits of the octet to zero. For example, a ToC value of 4 (a full-rate frame) is stored as 0x04. See Section 4 for the mapping from frame type to ToC value.
Speech frames lost in transmission and non-received frames MUST be stored as erasure frames (ToC value of 5) to maintain synchronization with the original media.
This document updates the audio/EVRCB and audio/EVRCB0 media types defined in RFC 4788 [3] and adds new EVRC-WB 'audio' media subtypes.
Following the guidelines in RFC 4855 [9] and RFC 4288 [10], this section registers new 'audio' media subtypes for EVRC-WB and updates the audio/EVRCB and audio/EVRCB0 media type registrations contained in RFC 4788 [3].

'sendmode' can be used by a sender (EVRC-WB or EVRC-B) to announce its encoder's current mode of operation. A sender can change its mode anytime, and this does not cause any decoding problems at the receiver.
'recvmode' is defined for use with EVRC-B. A decoder can use this attribute to inform an encoder of its preference to operate in a specified mode. The receiver will continue to decode properly even if the sender does not operate in the preferred mode.
'mode-set-recv' is defined for use with EVRC-WB. A decoder can use this attribute to inform an encoder of its preference to operate in a specified subset of modes. The receiver will continue to decode properly even if the sender does not operate in one of the preferred modes. A set has been defined so that several modes can be expressed as a preference in one attempt. For instance, the set {4,7} signals that the receiver prefers the sender to operate in narrowband modes of EVRC-WB.
This document adds new optional parameters "recvmode" and "sendmode" to the original EVRC-B media types "audio/EVRCB" and "audio/EVRCB0" defined in RFC 4788 [3]. Existing RFC 4788 [3] implementations will not send these parameters in the Session Description Protocol (SDP) and will ignore them if they are received. This will allow
interoperability between RFC 4788 [3] and RFC 5188 implementations of EVRC-B. For an example offer-and-answer exchange, see Section 17.
Information carried in the media type specification has a specific mapping to fields in the Session Description Protocol (SDP) [8], which is commonly used to describe RTP sessions. When SDP is used to specify sessions employing EVRC-WB encoded speech, the mapping is as follows.
The new optional parameters 'recvmode' and 'sendmode' (for 'audio' subtypes EVRCB and EVRCB0) go in the SDP "a=fmtp" attribute by copying them directly from the media type string.
For all other media type parameters, the specification in Section 6.7 of RFC 4788 [3] still applies.
The following considerations apply when using the SDP offer-answer procedures of RFC 3264 [7] to negotiate the use of EVRC-WB payload in RTP:
Below is an example of such an offer:
m=audio 55954 RTP/AVP 98 99
a=rtpmap:98 EVRCWB0/16000
a=rtpmap:99 EVRCB0/8000
a=fmtp:98 mode-set-recv=0,4;sendmode=0
a=fmtp:99 recvmode=0 sendmode=4
If the answerer supports EVRC-WB, then the answerer can keep the payload type 98 in its answer and the conversation can be done using EVRC-WB. Else, if the answerer supports only EVRC-B, then the answerer will leave only the payload type 99 in its answer and the conversation will be done using EVRC-B.
An example answer for the above offer is the following:
m=audio 55954 RTP/AVP 98
a=rtpmap:98 EVRCWB0/16000
a=fmtp:98 mode-set-recv=4;sendmode=4
See Section 6.8 of [3] for offer-answer usage of EVRC-B. The following are several additional considerations for EVRC-B.
For declarative use of SDP in the Session Announcement Protocol (SAP) [12] and the Real Time Streaming Protocol (RTSP) [13], the following considerations apply:
Some example SDP session descriptions utilizing EVRC-WB and EVRC-B encodings follow. In these examples, long a=fmtp lines are folded to meet the column width constraints of this document. The backslash ("\") at the end of a line and the carriage return that follows it should be ignored. Note that media subtype names are case- insensitive. Parameter names are case-insensitive both in media types and in the mapping to the SDP a=fmtp attribute.
Example usage of EVRCWB:
m=audio 49120 RTP/AVP 97 98
a=rtpmap:97 EVRCWB/16000
a=rtpmap:98 EVRCB0/8000

a=rtpmap:99 EVRCB0/8000
a=fmtp:99 recvmode=0 sendmode=4
In the above example, note that the answerer has chosen to send in mode 4 even though the offerer was willing to receive in mode 0. 'recvmode' is a receiver's preference, but the sender can send in a different mode.
Example offer-answer exchanges for interoperability between legacy (RFC 4788) and updated EVRC-B (RFC 5188) implementations:
Offer from an offerer that supports updated EVRC-B (RFC 5188) implementation:
m=audio 55954 RTP/AVP 99
a=rtpmap:99 EVRCB0/8000
a=fmtp:99 recvmode=0 sendmode=4
Answer from an answerer that supports only
legacy EVRC-B (RFC 4788) implementation:
m=audio 55954 RTP/AVP 99
a=rtpmap:99 EVRCB0/8000

legacy EVRC-B (RFC 4788) implementation:

Since compression is applied to the payload formats end-to-end, and
the encodings do not exhibit significant non-uniformity,
implementations of this specification are subject to all the security
considerations specified in RFC 3558 [2]. Implementations using the
payload defined in this specification are subject to the security
considerations discussed in RFC 3558 [2], RFC 3550 [6], and any
appropriate profile (for example, RFC 3551 [11]).
