Full duplex

Data transmission is a mode in which data can be sent and received at the same

time.

G.711 a law, G.711 µ law

Standard for a

Codec

G.711 delivers a very good voice quality that corresponds to that in the ISDN

fixed line. As there is little compression, the necessary bandwidth is around 64

kbit/s per voice connection, but the delay caused by coding/decoding is only

0.125 ms.
"a law" describes the European standard and "µ law" describes the North Amer-

ican/Japanese equivalent.

G.722

Standard for a

Codec

G.722 is a

broadband

language codec with a bandwidth of 50 Hz to 7 kHz, a

net transmission rate of 64 kbit/s per language connection and integrated

speech pause recognition and comfort noise generation (silence suppression).
G.722 delivers very good voice quality. A higher sampling rate provides clearer

and better voice quality than other codecs and enables a speech tone in High

Definition Sound Performance (HDSP).

G.726

Standard for a

Codec

G.726 delivers a good voice quality. It is inferior to the quality with codec

G.711

but better than with

G.729

G.729A/B

Standard for a

Codec

The voice quality is more likely to be lower with G.729A/B. As a result of the

high level of compression, the necessary bandwidth is only around 8 kbit/s per

voice connection, but the delay is around 15 ms.

Gateway

Connects two different

Networks

, e.g. a router as an Internet gateway.

For phone calls from

VoIP

to the telephone network, a gateway has to be con-

nected to the IP network and the telephone network (gateway/VoIP provider).

It forwards calls from VoIP to the telephone network as required.

Gateway provider

SIP provider

Global IP address

IP address

GSM

Global System for Mobile Communication

Originally, a European standard for mobile networks. GSM can now be

described as a worldwide standard. In the USA and Japan national standards

are now more frequently supported than in the past.
