2 Overview
Overview
2.1 Introduction
With the development of GSM networks, subscribers have increasing requirements for high
speech quality. To meet the requirements, the enhanced full rate (EFR) is adopted.
Compared with FR, EFR optimizes the speech codec algorithm and therefore improves the
speech quality and user experience.

Technical Description
3.2 E-Coder
Enhanced Coding (E-Coder) optimizes AMR coding modules, improving AMR speech quality.
EFR codec and AMR codec has been integrated. Therefore, the E-Coder optimization is also
applicable to EFR and improves EFR speech quality.
The emulation results show that E-Coder improves the MOS by 0.05 to 0.12. However, it
introduces an algorithm delay of 5 ms to an EFR encoder. The BSC does not support the ECoder function in the following TC-free scenarios:

4.1.3 Activation
Using MML Commands
Step 1 On the BSC LMT, run the SET GCELLCCACCESS command with Speech Version set to
FULL_RATE_VER1(Full-rate VER 1) and FULL_RATE_VER2(Full-rate VER 2).
Step 2 (Optional) To forcibly enable the EFR, run the SET GCELLSOFT command with Allow
Forced EFR in Cell set to YES(Yes).
Step 3 (Optional) To enable the E-Coder for better speech quality, run the SET TCPARA command
on the BSC LMT with its parameters set as follows:
l Set Subrack No. and Slot No. to the actual subrack number and slot number of the DPU
board.
l Set Coding Mode to ECODEC(Enhanced code mode).

When configuring the EFR feature on the CME, you must perform a single configuration first, and then
perform batch modifications if required.
You must perform a single configuration for a parameter before batch modifications of the parameter. You
are advised to perform batch modifications before logging out of the parameter setting interface.
