RTP Payload Format for TSVCIS Codec RTP Payload Format for Tactical Secure Voice Cryptographic
draft-ietf-payload-tsvcis-05 Interoperability Specification (TSVCIS) Codec
Abstract
This document describes the RTP payload format for the Tactical
Secure Voice Cryptographic Interoperability Specification (TSVCIS)
speech coder. TSVCIS is a scalable narrowband voice coder supporting
varying encoder data rates and fallbacks. It is implemented as an
augmentation to the Mixed Excitation Linear Prediction Enhanced
(MELPe) speech coder by conveying additional speech coder parameters
to enhance voice quality. TSVCIS augmented speech data is processed
in conjunction with its temporally matched Mixed Excitation Linear
Prediction (MELP) 2400 speech data. The RTP packetization of TSVCIS
and MELPe speech coder data is described in detail.
