Ericsson Development Kit , CVSD/PCM Voice Coding ?

Original Post: Questions - CVSD voice code  (eGroups Msg. )    Date: 2000-09-09

   

Question

Ericsson's development tool is using linear PCM for voice coding. But in its BT module specs, it recommends CVSD. The Bluetooth specs actually say that CVSD is mandatory for both handset and base station, but PCM A-law or u-law is optional. Why are Ericsson apparently not using CVSD encoding?

 

Answer

It is correct that CVSD is the mandated format for SCO data over the air.

However, just to be clear, the devtool may use linear PCM as the interface to the codec, but the baseband hardware inside the VSW26002 will convert this into CVSD to be sent over the air.
