  • 3GPP has defined a work item for Rel-17 on NTN in RP-201256 and further enhancement will be continued in Rel-18 in WID RP-220953.
  • One objective of this Rel-18 WI is to consider coverage enhancement. There is a 6-month study phase focusing on the following (to derive clear & limited scope) :
  • RAN radio access network
  • VoIP voice over Internet protocol
  • NR new radio
  • VoIP over NR VoIP over NR
  • a UE offering speech communication shall support narrowband (adaptive multi-rate, AMR, speech codec) , wideband (AMR-WB) , and super-wideband (enhance voice services, EVS) communication.
  • AMR adaptive multi-rate
  • AMR-WB wideband
  • EVS enhanced voice services
  • the codec bitrate of EVS is much bigger than the codec bitrate of AMR.
  • a higher AMR voice code rate may provide a higher-definition voice call and accordingly a better user experience.
  • RTP real-time transport protocol
  • Table 2 gives the example to illustrate the transport block size (TBS) to accommodate the VoIP payload as well as RTP/user datagram protocol (UDP) /Internet protocol (IP) headers and medium access control (MAC) headers.
  • TBS transport block size
  • UDP user datagram protocol
  • IP Internet protocol
  • MAC medium access control
  • Codec mode and codec rate can be selected and determined based on the radio conditions. For example, in poor radio conditions, a lower codec rate may be used to generate small RTP payload and reduce the packet loss as well as end to end (E2E) latency and jitter. On the other hand, a higher codec rate can be used in good radio conditions to ensure a better user experience of the VoNR call. The outcome of the corresponding study item can be found in TR36.750.
  • an eNB may signal a recommended bit rate to that UE.
  • the UE may use the recommended bit rate as an input to initiate an end-to-end rate adaptation by sending an application layer message (e.g. RTP control protocol (RTCP) or RTP codec mode request (CMR) ) to the peer UE or the concerning media gateway (GW) .
  • RTCP RTP control protocol
  • CMR RTP codec mode request
  • the peer UE may retrieve a recommended bit rate from its serving eNB to ensure E2E codec adaptation.
  • E2E voice codec adaptation is based on access network bitrate recommendation (ANBR) mechanism defined in RAN as agreed in LTE and NR.
  • ANBR access network bitrate recommendation
  • the details of ANBR mechanism can be found in TS26.114 section 10.7 where the message ANBR is mapped to a MAC level message named “Recommended bit rate MAC Control Element” and the message access network bitrate recommendation query (ANBRQ) is mapped to a MAC level message named “Recommended bit rate query MAC Control Element” .
  • the "Request max" message is a generalized application level message that corresponds to RTP CMR or application-defined RTP control protocol packet (RTCP-APP) for voice.
  • a Multimedia Telephony Service for IP multimedia subsystem (MTSI) client in a terminal that receives both ANBR with bitrate R1 and a “Request max” message with bitrate R0 for its media sending direction shall use min (R0, R1) as the combined bitrate for those two adaptation triggers.
  • MTSI client in terminal e.g. UE1
  • receives an ANBR message for the local uplink that triggers an adaptation decision if an adaptation resulting in an increase of the media sender bitrate (e.g. R2) in uplink, it may result in an increase of media sender bitrate at the earliest opportunity, taking other adaptation triggers into account.
  • the peer MTSI client in terminal e.g.
  • UE2 receives application signaling for bitrate adaptation of media, such as frame type indicator (for speech) that result in an increase of the media sender bitrate, UE2 shall take all available adaptation triggers for the local downlink into account, e.g. any bitrate limit from the most recently received ANBR message. If the UE2 has reason to believe that the most recently received ANBR for its downlink no longer applies, it may send an ANBRQ message in its uplink to query network (NW) whether the increased bitrate (R2) can be supported from NW point of view. Based on NW’s decision (e.g.
  • NW may indicate the recommend bitrate to UE (e.g. R3 which is smaller than R2) in ANBR.
  • R3 which is smaller than R2
  • the UE2 may initialize the codec change negotiated with UE1 again.
  • an MTSI client in terminal receives an ANBR message for the local downlink that triggers an adaptation decision
  • adaptation signalling to match the local downlink restriction shall be initiated towards the remote media sender.
  • UE 2 may trigger ANBRQ and ANBR procedure again to check whether the increased bitrate can be supported.
  • the remote terminal peer node
  • the remote terminal received application signalling for bitrate adaptation will trigger an adaptation decision. It needs at least one RTT for the ANBRQ and ANBR message transmission between the terminal and network. Due to the large latency in the NTN system, the codec adaptation procedure will take a quite long time, especially when the remote terminal can’t accept the increased bitrate, it may take up to three RTTs to successfully negotiate the increased bitrate.
  • the delay of codec adaptation negotiation may cause the voice packet loss occur for the longer time in NTN system compared with TN system. For example, the UE1 applies the increased bitrate in voice packets while the UE2 cannot support it which may cause voice packet loss until codec adaptation negotiation is done. Furthermore, the delay of codec adaptation may delay when the higher codec rate can be used in good radio conditions to ensure a better user experience of the VoNR call.
  • the satellites in non-GEO orbits move with high-speed relative to a fixed position on earth, the distance and pathloss between satellite and UE is continuously changing.
  • the change of pathloss is positive.
  • the change of pathloss is negative. Therefore, the change trend of the pathloss and the code bitrate of one UE can be predictive to some extent.
  • a first terminal device negotiates, with a second terminal device, a first codec bitrate supported by the first terminal device for communicating with the second terminal device.
  • the first terminal device receives, from the second terminal device, a second codec bitrate supported by the second terminal device for communicating with the first terminal device, and determines, based on the second codec bitrate, a third codec bitrate supported by the first terminal device for communicating with the second terminal device, the third codec bitrate being less than or equal to the second codec bitrate.

  • the unnecessary ANBR procedure may be avoided, thereby reducing the latency of codec adaptation as well as the voice packet loss in the case of bitrate increase considering the pathloss change trend in NTN system.

Abstract

Des modes de réalisation de la présente invention concernent l'adaptation de débit binaire de codec. Un équipement terminal négocie, avec un deuxième équipement terminal, un premier débit binaire de codec pris en charge par le premier équipement terminal pour une communication vocale avec le deuxième équipement terminal. L'équipement terminal reçoit, en provenance du deuxième équipement terminal, un deuxième débit binaire de codec pris en charge par le deuxième équipement terminal pour une communication vocale avec le premier équipement terminal. Sur la base du deuxième débit binaire de codec, l'équipement terminal détermine un troisième débit binaire de codec pris en charge par le premier équipement terminal pour une communication vocale avec le deuxième équipement terminal, le troisième débit binaire de codec étant inférieur ou égal au deuxième débit binaire de codec. De cette manière, la procédure de recommandation de débit binaire de réseau d'accès (ANBR) inutile peut être évitée, ce qui permet de réduire la latence d'adaptation de codec ainsi que la perte de paquet vocal dans le cas d'une augmentation de débit binaire en tenant compte de la tendance de changement de perte de trajet dans le système NTN.
