11.1.2 What You Need to Know

The following terms and concepts may help as you read through this chapter.
Voice Activity Detection/Silence Suppression/Comfort Noise
Voice Activity Detection (VAD) detects whether or not speech is present. This lets
the WiMAX Modem reduce the bandwidth that a call uses by not transmitting
"silent packets" when you are not speaking.
When using VAD, the WiMAX Modem generates comfort noise when the other
party is not speaking. The comfort noise lets you know that the line is still
connected as total silence could easily be mistaken for a lost connection.
Echo Cancellation
G.168 is an ITU-T standard for eliminating the echo caused by the sound of your
voice reverberating in the telephone receiver while you talk.
