Abstract
The invention relates to a method for transmitting background noise information including a silence descriptor identifier and background noise parameters in a communication system in which the information to be transmitted is formed into data frames. The data frames are subjected to channel coding to form channel-coded frames. The channel-coded frames are interleaved to be transmitted in two or more data transmission frames, and information of two channel-coded frames is transmitted in each data transmission frame. A first silence descriptor frame is formed provided with the silence descriptor identifier. The first silence descriptor frame is subjected to channel coding to form a channel-coded silence descriptor frame. The channel-coded silence descriptor frame is transmitted in two or more data transmission frames, and at least one data transmission frame transmitting part of the channel-coded silence descriptor frame is also used to transmit at least the background noise parameters.
