Itu-T Wideband Audio Codec Sub-Band ADPCM: Applications

G.722 is an ITU-T standard codec that provides 7 kHz wideband audio at data rates from 48, 56 and 64 kbit/s, offering improved speech quality over narrowband codecs like G.711. It works by splitting the audio signal into lower and higher frequency sub-bands, which are then encoded using sub-band ADPCM. G.722 is useful for voice over IP applications where bandwidth is readily available and offers better quality than older codecs without excessive complexity.

722
G.722[1] is an ITU-T standard 7 kHz Wideband audio codec operating at 48,
56 and 64 kbit/s. It was approved by ITU-T in November 1988. Technology of
the codec is based on sub-band ADPCM (SB-ADPCM).
G722 provides improved speech quality due to a wider speech bandwidth of
507000 Hz compared to narrowband speech coders likeG.711 which in
general are optimized forPOTS wireline quality of 3003400 Hz. G.722
sample audio data at a rate of 16 kHz (using 14 bits), double that of
traditional telephony interfaces, which results in superior audio quality and
clarity.[2]
Other ITU-T 7 kHz wideband codecs includeG.722.1 and G.722.2. These
codecs are not variants of G.722 and they use different patented
compression technologies. G.722.1 is based on Siren codecs and offers lower
bit-rate compressions (24 kbit/s or 32 kbit/s). A more recent G.722.2, also
known as AMR-WB("Adaptive Multirate Wideband") is based onACELP and
offers even lower bit-rate compressions (6.6 kbit/s to 23.85 kbit/s),[2] as well
as the ability to quickly adapt to varying compressions as the network
topography mutates. In the latter case, bandwidth is automatically
conserved when network congestion is high. When congestion returns to a
normal level, a lower-compression, higher-quality bitrate is restored.

ApplicationsEdit
G.722 is an ITU standard codec that provides 7 kHz wideband audio at data
rates from 48, 56 and 64 kbit/s. This is useful for voice over IP applications,
such as on a local area network where network bandwidth is readily
available, and offers a significant improvement in speech quality over older
narrowband codecs such as G.711, without an excessive increase in
implementation complexity. Environments where bandwidth is more
constrained may prefer one of the more bitrate-efficient codecs, such as
G.722.1 (Siren7) or G.722.2 (AMR-WB).
G.722 has also been widely used by radio broadcasters for sending
commentary-grade audio over a single 56 or 64 kbit/s ISDN B-channel
(the least significant bit is dropped on 56kb circuits).
G.722 works by having the inbound voice signal pass through a digital filter
that splits the audio signal into 0 Hz-to-4 kHz and 4 kHz-to-8 kHz audio
bands. These sub-bands are then encoded using sub-band ADPCM. Most of

the human voice energy is concentrated in the lower half of the audio band
(04 kHz), so 48 kbit/s of the bandwidth is dedicated to the lower sub-band
and the other 16 kbit/s is allocated to the higher sub-band.[2][3][dead link]

RTP encapsulationEdit
G.722 VoIP is typically carried in RTP payload type 9.[4] Note
that IANA records the clock rate for type 9 G.722 as 8 kHz (instead of
16 kHz), RFC3551[5] clarifies that this is due to a historical error and is
retained in order to maintain backward compatibility. Consequently correct
implementations represent the value 8,000 where required but encode and
decode audio at 16 kHz.
Whilst G.722 allows for bitrates of 64, 56 and 48 kbit/s, in practice, data is
encoded at 64 kbit/s, with bits from the lower sub-band being used to encode
auxiliary data. The greater the number of bits allocated to aux data, the
lower the bit rate
