+Abstract
+
+ RFC 2658 specifies the streaming format for 3GPP2 13K vocoder (High
+ Rate Speech Service Option 17 for Wideband Spread Spectrum
+ Communications Systems, also known as QCELP 13K vocoder) data, but
+ does not specify a storage format. Many implementations have been
+ using the "QCP" file format (named for its file extension) for
+ exchanging QCELP 13K data as well as Enhanced Variable Rate Coder
+ (EVRC) and Selectable Mode Vocoders (SMV) data. (For example,
+ Eudora(r), QuickTime(r), and cmda2000(r) handsets).
+
+ This document specifies the QCP file format and updates the
+ audio/qcelp media registration to specify this format for storage,
+ and registers the audio/evrc-qcp and audio/smv-qcp media types for
+ EVRC and SMV (respectively) data stored in this format.

+1. Introduction
+
+ This document specifies the QCP format for storage of [QCELP] 13K,
+ [EVRC], and [SMV] vocoder frames in files which may reside on network
+ elements (e.g., media servers, Multimedia Messaging System (MMS)
+ centers, etc.) and third-generation cellular (3G) handsets, or be
+ transmitted via email or other mechanisms.
+
+ Vocoder frames read from a QCP file may be streamed using protocols
+ and formats outside the scope of this document, delivered to an
+ [EVRC], [SMV], or [QCELP] 13K decoder, or otherwise processed.
+
+ The QCP format supports [QCELP] 13K as well as [EVRC] and [SMV] data.
+ Note that this format is different from the EVRC and SMV storage
+ format specified in [EVRC-SMV].
+
+2. Conventions Used in this Document
+
+ The key words "REQUIRED", "MUST", "MUST NOT", "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT",
+ and "MAY" in this document are to be interpreted as described in BCP
+ 14, RFC 2119 [KEYWORDS].
+
+3. QCP File Format
+
+ The following describes the QCP file format using [ABNF].
+
+ A qcp file contains data frames generated by the [QCELP], [EVRC], or
+ [SMV] vocoders.

+4. IANA Considerations
+
+ IANA has updated the audio/qcelp and audio/vnd.qcelp registrations
+ and has added the audio/evrc-qcp and audio/smv-qcp registrations as
+ specified here.
+
+4.1. Update of Media Type Audio/qcelp
+
+ The audio/qcelp media registration has been updated to indicate that
+ this specification is to be used for storage.
+
+4.2. Update of Media Type Audio/vnd.qcelp
+
+ The audio/vnd.qcelp media registration has been updated to indicate
+ that use of this media type is deprecated and to note that the media
+ type audio/qcelp should be used instead.

+5. Security Considerations
+
+ This document specifies a file format only, not a streaming protocol
+ payload format, nor a transfer method. As such, it introduces no
+ security risks aside from those associated with any audio codec or
+ media file format (for example, denial of service by transmitting a
+ file larger than the receiver can handle). Note that those security
+ concerns should be understood before using the file format specified
+ here.
+
+6. Acknowledgements
+
+ Richard Walters created the ABNF notation for this specification and
+ proof-read the text, among other helpful tasks.
+
+ The qcp file format was originally developed by others within
+ Qualcomm. The editor would like to thank Chuck Han and Livingstone
+ Song for their contributions leading to this specification.
