T3ITJP H KNOI-$T$L indicates that the Information ?it and &odec =ode fields do not contain any useful data 2and shall not be transmitted o%er the air interface4. The purpose of this T3ITJP is to pro%ide the option to sa%e transmission between the transcoder and the radio base station if a pac9et oriented transmission is used. The scheduling of the frames for transmission on the air interface is controlled by the T3 -T3 handler by the use of the T3ITJP field.

To allow an exact %erification of the T3 -T3 handler functions. all frames before the reset of the system are treated as if there were speech frames of an infinitely long time. Therefore. and in order to ensure the correct estimation of comfort noise parameters at (3 -T3 side. the first 1 frames after the reset or after enabling the -T3 operation shall always be mar9ed with T3ITJP H F !P &7I0OO- F. e%en if A$- flag HF#F 2hango%er period. see figure "4. The Aoice $cti%ity -etector 2A$-4 shall operate all the time in order to assess whether the input signal contains speech or not.

The A$- flag controls indirectly. %ia the T3 -T3 handler operations described below. the o%erall -T3 operation on the transmit side. <hene%er A$- flag HF+F. the speech encoder output frame along with mode information shall be passed directly to the radio subsystem 2(!!4. mar9ed with T3ITJP HF !P &7I0OO- F $t the end of a speech burst 2transition A$- flag HF+F to A$- flag HF#F4. it ta9es 5 consecuti%e frames to ma9e a new updated !I- analysis a%ailable at recei%er side 2see 0!= #/.6"4.

The (3 radio subsystem uses a combination of gross>bit mar9ers. recei%er measurements. and &(& chec9s to classify each recei%ed frame. The basic operation for each frame is outlined below: the recei%er first searches for the ($T!&&7. !I-IMP-$T . !I-I*I(!T or ON! T gross bit mar9ers. If the ($T!&&7 signalling is detected. then the ($T!&&7 frame 2T&78$*!4 respecti%ely the ($T!&&7I=$(K ( and ($T!&&7I-$T$ frames 2T&78$7!4 shall be decoded and handled as described in 0!= #,.#6.
