TITLE
-----
Fixed-point description of Recommendation G.729A

Coding of Speech at 8 kbit/s using Conjugate-Structure
Algebraic-Code-Excited Linear-Prediction (CS-ACELP)


SOFTWARE AND INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY
----------------------------------
This software package is provided as part of ITU-T Recommendation G.729A.

   All rights reserved.

The copy of the source C code, version 1.1, is given under Copyright of the
authors, only for the purpose of establishing the specification of a codec.


VERSION
-------
This is version 1.1.

Changes from version 1.0:

-The decoder (decoder.c) now use the same way of detecting the frame erasure
 than the G.729. This have change one of the test vectors "overflow.pst".
-Add some initializations of variable to remove warning from some compilers.
-In typedef.h add the compilator (_TURBOC_).

DESCRIPTION
-----------

  This package include the files needed to build the fixed point version
of the G.729A codec.

 It includes also the PC executable (coder.exe and decoder.exe), a batch file
(test.bat), speech (test.inp) and data files (test.bit and test.syn) to verify
the execution. More files (test vectors) are available to verify the
bit-exactnes of the implementation. They are presently available at the
following ftp site:

ftp.research.bell_labs.com
login: anonymous
cd /dist/g729a

The zip file "TV729APC.ZIP" contains the PC version of the test vectors.



SIMILARITIES AND DIFFERENCES WITH G.729
---------------------------------------

 The serial stream of this version is directly interroperable with the G729.

Common files with G.729:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
basic_op.c
basic_op.h
oper_32b.c
oper_32b.h
pre_proc.c
post_pro.c
bits.c
util.c
filter.c
dspfunc.c
qua_lsp.c
lspdec.c
lspgetq.c
qua_gain.c
dec_gain.c
gainpred.c
de_acelp.c
pred_lt3.c
p_parity.c
dec_lag3.c

Files will small changes from G.729:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

lpc.c
    ->In function Az_lsp() division of the interval by 2 instead of 4.
    Note: The vectors rc[] and old_rc[] of the function Levinson()
          are not used in the G.729A version. These vectors were kept
          to minimize the difference between the G.729 and the G.729A.
          If you implement only the G.729a version, you could remove
          these vectors.

lpcfunc.c
    ->Function Int_lpc() removed.
    ->Function Int_qlpc() is differant.

coder.c and decoder.c
   ->Call to functions with differants names.
   ->The switch HARW and SYNC have been removed. These switch were
     for devellopement and testing purpose only.

Files changed from G.729:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

ld8a.h      replace  ld8k.h
cod_ld8a.c  replace  cod_ld8k.c
dec_ld8a.c  replace  dec_ld8k.c
acelp_ca    replace  acelp_co.c (New fixed codebook search)
tab_ld8a.h  replace  tab_ld8k.h
tab_ld8a.c  replace  tab_ld8k.c
postfilt.c  replace  pst.c
pitch_a.c   replace  pitch.c (New pitch functions)

New files:
~~~~~~~~~~

Taming.c    The taming functions have been removed from the file
            cod_ld8k.c(G.729) and put together in file taming.c
Cor_func.c  Contains functions:
            Corr_xy2() previously in file cod_ld8k.c (G.729)
            Cor_h_x()  previously in file acelp_ca.c (G.729)
                       Now also used by the pitch functions.


COMPILATION
-----------

Edit the file typedef.h to comply to your target platform

For UNIX systems the following makefiles are provided

   coder.mak
   decoder.mak

Edit the makefiles coder.mak and decoder.mak to set the proper options
for your system.
The command to compile and link all code on a UNIX system is

     make -f coder.mak
     make -f decoder.mak

For other platforms, the *.mak files can be used to work out the
compilation procedures.

This code has been successfully compiled and run on the following
platforms:

Bitstream information - all parameters start with msb
