[Freeswitch-users] Audio Codecs over Mobile Connection

[Bote Man]

If you are using mobile data to set up your own SIP calls, then you are now struggling through the same battles that the cellular carriers conquered for the past 2 decades. L LTE should help greatly with this, as the carriers in the U.S. are moving to send everything over LTE.

 

If it is a mobile voice call, then you are at the mercy of the codec audio that the cellular carrier chose.

Question is what kind of mobile connection do you use? If it is UMTS/CDMA, so even not compressed codecs like g711u/a or g722 are working fine. Regarding bandwidth usage you have to choose between SILK,Opus or even old one iLBC or GSM.

Of course jitter buffer is independent from codec, but its functionality affects the quality.

Yes SILK is inherited by Opus, but in general SILK is much cheaper in terms of CPU cycles for encoding and decoding.

Thanks Stanislav!

 

I understand that jitter buffer is not necessarily codec dependent and that SILK is actually the foundation of Opus, so I assume their quality is comparable.

add SILK to the list (it's actually what Skype uses), and jitter buffer.

but I don't have much practical experience.

The quality of the sound depends also on the particular SIP client
implementation.
