A wireless telecommunications system comprises a mobile station (MS) and a network. The mobile station has a multi-rate speech encoder which produces an encoded speech signal which is transmitted to the network. The network has a multi-rate speech decoder which decodes the encoded speech signal to produce a decoded speech signal. The network also comprises a signal analyser which measures speech characteristics of the decoded speech signal to produce speech characteristics information and an up-link mode control unit which receives the speech characteristics information and produces a mode command. The mode command is transmitted by the network to the mobile station where it is used to control the speech encoding bit rate of the multi-rate speech encoder.
