TheAMRcodecwasstandardizedby3GPPandisthelatestcodecintheGSM/UMTSfamily.Itisalsothedefault

AMRprovidesvoicequalityandcapacitybeneftsbycontinuouslyselectingtheoptimalspeechcodecrateaccording
tochangingradioandtraffcconditions.ThecodecprovidesexcellentradiolinkadaptationindiffcultRFenviron-
mentsandcandeliverbothbettercoverageandcapacityinexistingGSMnetworks.AMRreliesonacombinationof
