Introduction + + The International Telecommunication Union (ITU-T) recommendation + G.729.1 [1] is a scalable and wideband extension of the + recommendation G.729 [9] audio codec. This document specifies the + payload format for packetization of G.729.1 encoded audio signals + into the Real-time Transport Protocol (RTP). + + The payload format itself is described in Section 5. A media type + registration and the details for the use of G.729.1 with SDP are + given in Section 6. + + The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT", + "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT","RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in this + document are to be interpreted as described in RFC 2119 [2]. + +2. Background + + G.729.1 is an 8-32 kbps scalable wideband (50-7000 Hz) speech and + audio coding algorithm interoperable with G.729, G.729 Annex A, and + G.729 Annex B. It provides a standardized solution for packetized + voice applications that allows a smooth transition from narrowband to + wideband telephony. + + The most important services addressed are IP telephony and + videoconferencing, either for enterprise corporate networks or for + mass market (like Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN) emulation + over DSL or wireless access). Target devices can be IP phones or + other VoIP handsets, home gateways, media gateways, IP Private Branch + Exchange (IPBX), trunking equipment, voice messaging servers, etc. + + For all those applications, the scalability feature allows tuning the + bit rate versus quality trade-off, possibly in a dynamic way during a + session, taking into account service requirements and network + transport constraints. + + The G.729.1 coder produces an embedded bitstream structured in 12 + layers corresponding to 12 available bit rates between 8 and 32 kbps. + The first layer, at 8 kbps, is called the core layer and is bitstream + compatible with the ITU-T G.729/G.729A coder. At 12 kbps, a second + layer improves the narrowband quality. Upper layers provide wideband + audio (50-7000 Hz) between 14 and 32 kbps, with a 2 kbps granularity + allowing graceful quality improvements. Only the core layer is + mandatory to decode understandable speech; upper layers provide + quality enhancement and wideband enlargement. + + + + + + +Sollaud Standards Track [Page 2] + +RFC 4749 RTP Payload Format for G.729.1 October 2006 + + + The codec operates on 20-ms frames, and the default sampling rate is + 16 kHz. Input and output at 8 kHz are also supported, at all bit + rates. + +3. Embedded Bit Rates Considerations + + The embedded property of G.729.1 streams provides a mechanism to + adjust the bandwidth demand. At any time, a sender can change its + sending bit rate without external signalling, and the receiver will + be able to properly decode the frames. It may help to control + congestion, since the bandwidth can be adjusted by selecting another + bit rate. + + The ability to adjust the bandwidth may also help when having a fixed + bandwidth link dedicated to voice calls, for example in a residential + or trunking gateway. In that case, the system can change the bit + rates depending on the number of simultaneous calls. This will only + impact the sending bandwidth. In order to adjust the receiving + bandwidth as well, we introduce an in-band signalling to request the + other party to change its own sending bit rate. This in-band request + is called MBS, for Maximum Bit rate Supported. It is described in + Section 5.2. Note that it is only useful for two-way unicast G.729.1 + traffic, because when A sends an in-band MBS to B in order to request + that B modify its sending bit rate, it concerns the stream from B to + A. If there is no G.729.1 stream in the reverse direction, the MBS + will have no effect. + +4. RTP Header Usage + + The format of the RTP header is specified in RFC 3550 [3]. This + payload format uses the fields of the header in a manner consistent + with that specification. + + The RTP timestamp clock frequency is the same as the default sampling + frequency: 16 kHz. + + G.729.1 has also the capability to operate with 8 kHz sampled input/ + output signals at all bit rates. It does not affect the bitstream, + and the decoder does not require a priori knowledge about the + sampling rate of the original signal at the input of the encoder. + Therefore, depending on the implementation and the audio acoustic + capabilities of the devices, the input of the encoder and/or the + output of the decoder can be configured at 8 kHz; however, a 16 kHz + RTP clock rate MUST always be used. + + The duration of one frame is 20 ms, corresponding to 320 samples at + 16 kHz. Thus the timestamp is increased by 320 for each consecutive + frame. + + + +Sollaud Standards Track [Page 3] + +RFC 4749 RTP Payload Format for G.729.1 October 2006 + + + The M bit MUST be set to zero in all packets. + + The assignment of an RTP payload type for this packet format is + outside the scope of the document, and will not be specified here. + It is expected that the RTP profile under which this payload format + is being used will assign a payload type for this codec or specify + that the payload type is to be bound dynamically (see Section 6.2). + +5. Payload Format + +5.1. Payload Structure + + The complete payload consists of a payload header of 1 octet, + followed by zero or more consecutive audio frames at the same bit + rate. + + The payload header consists of two fields: MBS (see Section 5.2) and + FT (see Section 5.3). + + 0 1 2 3 + 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 + +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ + | MBS | FT | | + +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ + + : zero or more frames at the same bit rate : + : : + +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ + +5.2.

The encoder MUST NOT exceed the sending rate indicated by + the received MBS. Note that, due to the embedded property of the + coding scheme, the encoder can send frames at the MBS rate or any + lower rate. As long as it does not exceed the MBS, the encoder can + change its bit rate at any time without previous notice. + + Note that the MBS is a codec bit rate; the actual network bit rate is + higher and depends on the overhead of the underlying protocols. + + The MBS received is valid until the next MBS is received, i.e., a + newly received MBS value overrides the previous one. + + If a payload with a reserved MBS value is received, the MBS MUST be + ignored. + + The MBS field MUST be set to 15 for packets sent to a multicast group + and MUST be ignored on packets received from a multicast group. + + The MBS field MUST be set to 15 in all packets when the actual MBS + value is sent through non-RTP means. This is out of the scope of + this specification. + + See Sections 3 and 7 for more details on the use of MBS for + congestion control. + + + + + + + +Sollaud Standards Track [Page 5] + +RFC 4749 RTP Payload Format for G.729.1 October 2006 + + +5.3. Payload Header: FT Field + + FT (4 bits): Frame type of the frame(s) in this packet, as per the + following table: + + +-------+---------------+------------+ + | FT | encoding rate | frame size | + +-------+---------------+------------+ + | 0 | 8 kbps | 20 octets | + | 1 | 12 kbps | 30 octets | + | 2 | 14 kbps | 35 octets | + | 3 | 16 kbps | 40 octets | + | 4 | 18 kbps | 45 octets | + | 5 | 20 kbps | 50 octets | + | 6 | 22 kbps | 55 octets | + | 7 | 24 kbps | 60 octets | + | 8 | 26 kbps | 65 octets | + | 9 | 28 kbps | 70 octets | + | 10 | 30 kbps | 75 octets | + | 11 | 32 kbps | 80 octets | + | 12-14 | (reserved) | | + | 15 | NO_DATA | 0 | + +-------+---------------+------------+ + + The FT value 15 (NO_DATA) indicates that there is no audio data in + the payload. This MAY be used to update the MBS value when there is + no audio frame to transmit. The payload will then be reduced to the + payload header. + + If a payload with a reserved FT value is received, the whole payload + MUST be ignored. + +5.4. Audio Data + + Audio data of a payload contains one or more consecutive audio frames + at the same bit rate. The audio frames are packed in order of time, + that is, oldest first. + + The size of one frame is given by the FT field, as per the table in + Section 5.3, and the actual number of frames is easy to infer from + the size of the audio data part: + + nb_frames = (size_of_audio_data) / (size_of_one_frame). + + Only full frames must be considered. So if there is a remainder to + the division above, the corresponding remaining bytes in the received + payload MUST be ignored. + + + + +Sollaud Standards Track [Page 6] + +RFC 4749 RTP Payload Format for G.729.1 October 2006 + + + Note that if FT=15, there will be no audio frame in the payload. + +6. Payload Format Parameters + + This section defines the parameters that may be used to configure + optional features in the G.729.1 RTP transmission. + + The parameters are defined here as part of the media subtype + registration for the G.729.1 codec. A mapping of the parameters into + the Session Description Protocol (SDP) [5] is also provided for those + applications that use SDP. In control protocols that do not use MIME + or SDP, the media type parameters must be mapped to the appropriate + format used with that control protocol. + +6.1. Media Type Registration + + This registration is done using the template defined in RFC 4288 [6] + and following RFC 3555 [7]. + + Type name: audio + + Subtype name: G7291 + + Required parameters: none + + Optional parameters: + + maxbitrate: the absolute maximum codec bit rate for the session, in + bits per second. Permissible values are 8000, 12000, 14000, + 16000, 18000, 20000, 22000, 24000, 26000, 28000, 30000, and 32000. + 32000 is implied if this parameter is omitted. The maxbitrate + restricts the range of bit rates which can be used. The bit rates + indicated by FT and MBS fields in the RTP packets MUST NOT exceed + maxbitrate. + + mbs: the current maximum codec bit rate supported as a receiver, in + bits per second. Permissible values are in the same set as for + the maxbitrate parameter, with the constraint that mbs MUST be + lower or equal to maxbitrate. If the mbs parameter is omitted, it + is set to the maxbitrate value. So if both mbs and maxbitrate are + omitted, they are both set to 32000. The mbs parameter + corresponds to a MBS value in the RTP packets as per table in + Section 5.2 of RFC 4749. Note that this parameter may be + dynamically updated by the MBS field of the RTP packets sent; it + is not an absolute value for the session. + + ptime: the recommended length of time (in milliseconds) represented + by the media in a packet. See Section 6 of RFC 4566 [5]. + + + +Sollaud Standards Track [Page 7] + +RFC 4749 RTP Payload Format for G.729.1 October 2006 + + + maxptime: the maximum length of time (in milliseconds) that can be + encapsulated in a packet. See Section 6 of RFC 4566 [5] + + Encoding considerations: This media type is framed and contains + binary data; see Section 4.8 of RFC 4288 [6]. + + Security considerations: See Section 8 of RFC 4749 + + Interoperability considerations: none + + Published specification: RFC 4749 + + Applications which use this media type: Audio and video conferencing + tools. + + Additional information: none + + Person & email address to contact for further information: + Aurelien Sollaud, aurelien.sollaud@orange-ftgroup.com + + Intended usage: COMMON + + Restrictions on usage: This media type depends on RTP framing, and + hence is only defined for transfer via RTP [3]. + + Author: Aurelien Sollaud + + Change controller: IETF Audio/Video Transport working group delegated + from the IESG + +6.2. Mapping to SDP Parameters + + The information carried in the media type specification has a + specific mapping to fields in the Session Description Protocol (SDP) + [5], which is commonly used to describe RTP sessions. When SDP is + used to specify sessions employing the G.729.1 codec, the mapping is + as follows: + + o The media type ("audio") goes in SDP "m=" as the media name. + + o The media subtype ("G7291") goes in SDP "a=rtpmap" as the encoding + name. The RTP clock rate in "a=rtpmap" MUST be 16000 for G.729.1. + + o The parameters "ptime" and "maxptime" go in the SDP "a=ptime" and + "a=maxptime" attributes, respectively. + + + + + + +Sollaud Standards Track [Page 8] + +RFC 4749 RTP Payload Format for G.729.1 October 2006 + + + o Any remaining parameters go in the SDP "a=fmtp" attribute by + copying them directly from the media type string as a semicolon + separated list of parameter=value pairs. + + Some example SDP session descriptions utilizing G.729.1 encodings + follow. + + Example 1: default parameters + + m=audio 53146 RTP/AVP 98 + a=rtpmap:98 G7291/16000 + + Example 2: recommended packet duration of 40 ms (=2 frames), maximum + bit rate is 12 kbps, and initial MBS set to 8 kbps. It could be a + loaded PSTN gateway which can operate at 12 kbps but asks to + initially reduce the bit rate to 8 kbps. + + m=audio 51258 RTP/AVP 99 + a=rtpmap:99 G7291/16000 + a=fmtp:99 maxbitrate=12000; mbs=8000 + a=ptime:40 + +6.2.1. Offer-Answer Model Considerations + + The following considerations apply when using SDP offer-answer + procedures [8] to negotiate the use of G.729.1 payload in RTP: + + o Since G.729.1 is an extension of G.729, the offerer SHOULD + announce G.729 support in its "m=audio" line, with G.729.1 + preferred. This will allow interoperability with both G.729.1 and + G.729-only capable parties. + + Below is an example of such an offer: + + m=audio 55954 RTP/AVP 98 18 + a=rtpmap:98 G7291/16000 + a=rtpmap:18 G729/8000 + + If the answerer supports G.729.1, it will keep the payload type 98 + in its answer, and the conversation will be done using G.729.1. + Else, if the answerer supports only G.729, it will leave only the + payload type 18 in its answer, and the conversation will be done + using G.729 (the payload format for G.729 is defined in Section + 4.5.6 of RFC 3551 [4]). + + + + + + + +Sollaud Standards Track [Page 9] + +RFC 4749 RTP Payload Format for G.729.1 October 2006 + + + Note that when used at 8 kbps in G.729-compatible mode, the + G.729.1 decoder supports G.729 Annex B. Therefore, Annex B can be + advertised (by default, annexb=yes for G729 media type; see + Section 4.1.9 of RFC 3555 [7]). + + o The "maxbitrate" parameter is bi-directional. If the offerer sets + a maxbitrate value, the answerer MUST reply with a smaller or + equal value. The actual maximum bit rate for the session will be + the minimum. + + o If the received value for "maxbitrate" is between 8000 and 32000 + but not in the permissible values set, it SHOULD be read as the + closest lower valid value. If the received value is lower than + 8000 or greater than 32000, the session MUST be rejected. + + o The "mbs" parameter is not symmetric. Values in the offer and the + answer are independent and take into account local constraints. + One party MUST NOT start sending frames at a bit rate higher than + the "mbs" of the other party. The parameter allows announcing + this value, prior to the sending of any packet, to prevent the + remote sender from exceeding the MBS at the beginning of the + session. + + o If the received value for "mbs" is greater or equal to 8000 but + not in the permissible values set, it SHOULD be read as the + closest lower valid value. If the received value is lower than + 8000, the session MUST be rejected. + + o The parameters "ptime" and "maxptime" will in most cases not + affect interoperability. The SDP offer-answer handling of the + "ptime" parameter is described in RFC 3264 [8]. The "maxptime" + parameter MUST be handled in the same way. + + o Any unknown parameter in an offer MUST be ignored by the receiver + and MUST NOT be included in the answer. + + Some special rules apply for mono-directional traffic: + + o For sendonly streams, the "mbs" parameter is useless and SHOULD + NOT be used. + + o For recvonly streams, the "mbs" parameter is the only way to + communicate the MBS to the sender, since there is no RTP stream + towards it. So to request a bit rate change, the receiver will + need to use an out-of-band mechanism, like a SIP RE-INVITE. + + + + + + +Sollaud Standards Track [Page 10] + +RFC 4749 RTP Payload Format for G.729.1 October 2006 + + + Some special rules apply for multicast: + + o The "mbs" parameter MUST NOT be used. + + o The "maxbitrate" parameter becomes declarative and MUST NOT be + negotiated. This parameter is fixed, and a participant MUST use + the configuration that is provided for the session. + + +6.2.2. Declarative SDP Considerations + + For declarative use of SDP such as in SAP [10] and RTSP [11], the + following considerations apply: + + o The "mbs" parameter MUST NOT be used. + + o The "maxbitrate" parameter is declarative and provides the + parameter that SHALL be used when receiving and/or sending the + configured stream. + + +7. Congestion Control + + Congestion control for RTP SHALL be used in accordance with RFC 3550 + [3] and any appropriate profile (for example, RFC 3551 [4]). The + embedded and variable bit rates capability of G.729.1 provides a + mechanism that may help to control congestion; see Section 3 for more + details. + + The number of frames encapsulated in each RTP payload influences the + overall bandwidth of the RTP stream, due to the header overhead. + Packing more frames in each RTP payload can reduce the number of + packets sent and hence the header overhead, at the expense of + increased delay and reduced error robustness. + +8. Security Considerations + + RTP packets using the payload format defined in this specification + are subject to the general security considerations discussed in the + RTP specification [3] and any appropriate profile (for example, RFC + 3551 [4]). + + As this format transports encoded speech/audio, the main security + issues include confidentiality, integrity protection, and + authentication of the speech/audio itself. The payload format itself + does not have any built-in security mechanisms. Any suitable + external mechanisms, such as SRTP [12], MAY be used. + + + + +Sollaud Standards Track [Page 11] + +RFC 4749 RTP Payload Format for G.729.1 October 2006 + + + This payload format and the G.729.1 encoding do not exhibit any + significant non-uniformity in the receiver-end computational load and + thus are unlikely to pose a denial-of-service threat due to the + receipt of pathological datagrams. + +9.
