μ-law(或Mu-Law)是由国际电话电报咨询委员会颁布的用于脉码调制的标准多媒体数字信号编、解码器(压缩/解压缩)运算法则。作为一种压缩扩展的方法,μ-law可以改善信噪比率而不需要增添更多的数据。Mu-Law由于希腊语中的字母 μ发音为myoo,因此Mu-Law这个术语是来源于μ-Law;另外,由于发音上的一致,该术语有时候被书写为u-Law。目前,Mu-Law被美国和日本采用,而欧洲和其他地方则采用另外一种多媒体数字信号编、解码器(压缩/解压缩)运算法则,A-Law。
Payload Type De nitions:
payload type 96 indicates PCMU encoding, 8,000 Hz sampling rate, 2 channels.
payload type values in the range 96-127 may be de ned dynamically through a conference control protocol
Entries in Tables 4 and 5 with payload type \dyn" have no static payload type assigned and are only used
with a dynamic payload type. Payload type 2 was assigned to G721 in RFC 1890 and to its equivalent successor G726-32 in draft versions of this speci cation,
but its use is now deprecated and that static payload type is marked reserved due to conflicting use
for the payload formats G726-32 and AAL2-G726-32 (see Section 4.5.4). Payload type 13 indicates
the Comfort Noise (CN) payload format speci ed in RFC 3389 [9]. Payload type 19 is marked
\reserved" because some draft versions of this speci cation assigned that number to an earlier
version of the comfort noise payload format. The payload type range 72-76 is marked \reserved"
so that RTCP and RTP packets can be reliably distinguished (see Section \Summary of Protocol
Constants" of the RTP protocol speci cation).
