| 30% less data to do so. |

|
|
|
| Adaptive Multi Rate offers a wide range of data rates. The |
| ||||
|
| WB |
|
| philosophy behind AMR is to lower the data rate as the |
| |||
|
|
|
|
| interference increases to enable better error correction. |

| GSM FULL RATE |
| Format for speech coding used in most GSM networks. The GSM |

|
|
| full rate requires one full rate traffic channel to carry its data. The |

|
|
|
| ||||
|
|
|
|
| compression involves mapping input blocks of 160 speech |
| |||
|
|
|
|
| samples to encoded blocks of 260 bits. |

|
| MP3 |
|
| The MP3 format (.mp3) provides the coding of audio for digital |
