DESCRIPTION

Adaptive Digital’s VoIP Engine for the Android/ARM is a software
package that handles the processing needed to transform
PCM samples to VoIP packets and VoIP packets to PCM samples.
In other words, it provides all the voice processing necessary to
VoIP-enable an Android/ARM application.

The core of VoIP Engine is an Android native-layer application
that includes a complete suite of Adaptive Digital’s field-proven
telephony, VoIP, and voice quality enhancement algorithms
that enable developers to create toll-quality next generation
mobile applications for Android/ARM users.

Voice enable your Android application

VoIP Engine is supplied with a sample Java application that interfaces to the VoIP Engine native application.

The sample application uses the VoIP Engine API, which in turn uses the Java Native Interface (JNI), to setup an RTP/IP to RTP/IP VoIP connection. Android developers can incorporate the Java sample code into more complete VoIP-enabled Android applications.

Today’s mobile phone applications include an extraordinary amount of functionality. In the Android space in particular, writing software at the native layer is difficult not only due to the complexity of Android but also due to the anarchistic nature of open-source software in general. The best-case scenario for a developer is therefore to work at the Java layer.  But for performance reasons, much functionality needs to run at the native layer.

To make mobile phone application development managable, developers have software many development kits at their fingertips to handle the native layer complexity. Adaptive Digital’s VoIP Engine brings the necessary VoIP functionality to the native layer. All the developer needs to do is access the VoIP engine using a simple API, and package the supplied VoIP Engine native layer application with the end user Android application. By leveraging VoIP Engine, developers can focus on the functionality of the end application without dealing with the complexities of voice processing at the native layer.

The VoIP engine is purely a data processing engine. It has no interface to drivers or peripherals and performs processing solely at the request of the host application. The host application feeds the VoIP engine PCM samples from the audio input and and RTP packets from the network input. The VoIP engine in turn returns, via callbacks to the host application, PCM samples to be sent to the audio output device and RTP packets to be sent to the network interface.

Software Architecture

The Android architecture is divided into two layers – the Java layer and the native layer. With AnVoice, we provide a sample Android application, a JNI wrapper class, and the core VoIP Engine native shared library.

VoIP Engine includes the following features:

• PCM Front End (Independently Accessible)

1. Acoustic Echo Cancellation
2. Noise Reduction
3. Tone Generation
4. Automatic Gain Control
5. Diagnostics to assist in acoustic tuning
6. Equalization

• VoIP Handler

1. G.711 with appendices 1 (packet loss concealment) and 2 (discontinuous transmission)
2. G.729A Vocoder
3. G.722 (wideband audio) with packet loss concealment
4. RTP/Jitter Buffer
5. SRTP
6. DTMF keypress tone relay transmit (IETF RFC2833)

• Conferencing

Future enhancements will include:

1. G.711 Appendix 2
2. G.729AB (with Appendix B)
3. Plug-in Codecs
