1 Quality for 32 kbit/s. At 16 kbit/s and 24 kbit/s, continuous use is not recommended. At 40 kbit/s, the MOS is 4.2.
2MOSs do not have the same meaning for a wide-band signal. The reference is a wide-band (10-7,000 Hz) signal and the following scale will be used: + : near the original, good; 0: medium quality; — : poor quality
3 Possible with a bitrate of 40 kbit/s.
Note: Because of the processing delay on limited power processors, the total observed delay is around several samples (3 to 4) for waveform-type coders (but for G.722 QMF filters add 3 ms). For the ABS-type speech coder, the total delay is around four times the frame length (+ overhead if present).
