Silence compression on Full Duplex Links
Silence compression on Full Duplex Links
On full duplex links, the transmit path and the receive path are separate channels, with bandwidths
usually quoted in terms of individual channels. The following figure shows the peak bandwidth
requirements for one call on a full-duplex link without silence compression. Voice packets are
transmitted, even when a speaker is silent. Therefore, the peak bandwidth and the average
bandwidth used equals the full transmission rate for both the transmit and the receive channel.
