Introduction
For several decades, digital voice communications have used narrow band speech
codecs. In that time teleconferencing and videoconferencing applications have
seen increased popularity.
This workshop will present the status of existing and future developments of
wideband, superwideband and fullband codecs as well as relevant applications
from speech to mixed content and from advertisement to music on hold and even to
film trailers. Moreover the potential advantages from the use of spatialisation,
multichannel transmission and 3D sounds will also be explored.
Objectives
The goals of the workshop are:
- to provide inputs to develop new methodologies covering the complete audio bandwidth from Narrow Band to Fullband and continuing to ensure compatibility with existing ITU-T Recommendations.
- to review terminal characteristics to cope with new bandwidth requirements and multichannel aspects in function of the evolution of the codecs, transmission techniques and core/access networks (all IP, NGN, mobile).
The workshop aims to establish a constructive dialogue between universities, standardization bodies and companies to combine efforts and skills to create standards bringing interested parties together from around the world to promote innovation.
