Core Network
BSC Transcoder BSC Transcoder

Though MS1 and MS2 adopt EVRCs of the same type, two transcoders are still used on the bearer path to convert EVRC into G.711 and then to convert G.711 to EVRC for the interworking of the media streams between the two MSs. This is the traditional tandem operation. TrFO tries best to avoid it.

TrFO/RTO TrFO: Transcoder Free Operation

TrFO means that compressed voice is transferred between traditional MSs through the bearing channel of a packet-based network without a codec

RTO: Remote Transcoder Operation

For the RTO, a transcoder is configured at the remote call side. RTO involves MS-MS RTO and MS-PSTN RTO.
