VAD / CNG

Voice Activity Detection / Comfort Noise Generation

The VAD determines whether speech is not present in the outbound signal, then the CNG algorithm generates a “comfort” noise signal.

Features List

  • Functions are C-callable.
  • Multi-channel capable
  • Can be used with all types of speech coding
  • Spectrally shaped noise generation
  • Comfort Noise RFC 3389 compliant

Comfort noise is synthetic background noise used in traditional and wireless communications to fill the artificial silence in a transmission.

Description

Adaptive Digital’s VAD/CNG software performs voice activity detection and comfort noise generation. It is used in systems
that used reduced bandwidth channels during silent or non-voiced portions of a conversation. The VAD algorithm is used
at the transmit side of a communication link. The VAD determines whether or not speech is present in the outbound
signal. If speech is not present, the VAD algorithm determines the level of the background noise. The background noise
level is transmitted to the opposite end of the link in place of the speech signal. The noise level requires little channel
bandwidth and only needs to be transmitted when the background noise level changes. The CNG algorithm runs at the
receive side of the link. When speech is not present, the CNG algorithm generates a noise signal at the level sent from
the transmit side.
