ILBC Encoder Overview

The iLBC encoder (internet Low Bitrate Codec) is designed to provide clear voice transmission over unreliable packet-switched networks such as the internet. Unlike traditional telephone codecs that assume stable transmission channels, iLBC was created with VoIP in mind, where packet loss and delay are common. Its core strength lies in delivering intelligible speech even in poor network…
