3 | 3 | The speech codec is a proprietary AMBE variant from [http://www.dvsinc.com/ DVSI]. The official spec only contain a very rough overview and no technical information about the format and how to encode or decode it. |

7 | 3 | The ETSI lists patents relevant to GMR. (See [http://ip5226084r.etsi.org/IPRDetails.aspx?IPRD_ID=151&IPRD_TYPE_ID=2&MODE=2 here]). |

15 | This list is not really complete or accurate though. In particular it's missing the patent that has the most in common with the actual codec is (US&EU versions) : |
||
16 | |||
17 | * [http://www.google.com/patents/US6199037B1 US6199037]: Joint quantization of speech subframe voicing metrics and fundamental frequencies |
||
18 | * [http://www.google.com/patents/EP0927988B1 EP0927988B1]: Encoding speech |

22 | Osmocom-GMR contains a basic implementation of a voice decoder. Its quality is not as good as the official decoder but it does produce perfectly intelligible voice. You can find the implementation in the src/codec directory of the git. |
