GSM AMR-NB Voice Codec

GSM AMR-NB is an adaptive multi-rate speech codec that has been standardized for use in Third Generation (3G) mobile telephony. The codec supports eight bit rates: 12.2, 10.2, 7.95, 7.40, 6.7, 5.9, 5.15, and 4.75 kbps and uses algebraic code excited linear prediction (ACELP) as the compression method. AMR also includes Voice Activity Detection (VAD) and Discontinuous Transmission (DTX).
