چکیده
In this paper, we present a 6.8-32 kbit/s scalable speech and audio coder using a modified-discrete-cosine-transform (MDCT)-based bandwidth extension on top of a 6.8 kbit/s code-excited-linear-prediction (CELP) coder. The proposed coder comprises a 6.8 kbit/s narrowband CELP as its corelayer and eight enhancement layers with the bitrates of 0.8, 1.2, 3.2, or 4.0 kbit/s. After encoding of a narrowband signal by the core-layer, the first enhancement layer extends the bandwidth of a narrowband decoded signal, and the other enhancement layers increase the fidelity of an extended wideband signal or robustness against frame erasure conditions. Subjective evaluation test results demonstrate that the proposed coder outperforms G.729.1 for music signals at 16 and 24 kbit/s in particular with competitive or even better performance in other conditions like clean speech, background noise, and frame erasure.

A bitrate and bandwidth scalable CELP coder
This paper proposes a flexible CELP speech coder with bitrate and bandwidth scalabilities for multimedia applications. The coder is based on multi-pulse-based CELP coding and consists of a bitrate scalable base-band coder and a bandwidth extension tool. The bitrate scalable base-band CELP coder employs multi-stage excitation coding based on an embedded-coding approach. The multipulse excitation...
متن کاملA 16-kbit/s bandwidth scalable audio coder based on the G.729 standard
This paper proposes a bandwidth-scalable coding scheme based on the G.729 standard as a base layer coder. In the scheme, according to the channel conditions, the output speech of the decoder can be selected to be narrow-band (4-kHz bandwidth) or wideband (8-kHz bandwidth). The proposed scheme consists of two layers: base and enhancement. The base coder uses the G.729 algorithm to encode narrow-...
متن کاملA WIDEBAND CELP CODER AT 16 kbit/s FOR REAL TIME APPLICATIONS
Since its introduction in 1984, Code Excited Linear Predictive (CELP) [1] coding has received considerable attention for high quality speech coding at low bit-rates. Although most of the research has been focused on coding of narrowband (200-3400 kHz) speech, some recent studies on CELP coding of wideband (50-7000 kHz) speech have been reported [2], [3], [4]. A possible application for wideband...
متن کاملA wideband CELP speech coder at 16 kbit/s based on mel-generalized cepstral analysis
This paper proposes a wideband CELP coder using frequency warping. Instead of linear prediction, the proposed coder adopts the melgeneralized cepstral analysis, and encodes fullband of the speech signal through a warped frequency scale. It is shown that the subjective quality of the proposed coder at 16 kbit/s is better than that of the ITU-T G.722 at 64 kbit/s. Furthermore, the proposed coder ...
متن کاملA 16 kbit/s wideband CELP coder using MEL-generalized cepstral analysis and its subjective evaluation
We have proposed a wideband CELP coder, called MGC-CELP, which provides high quality speech by utilizing mel-generalized cepstral (MGC) analysis instead of linear prediction (LP). In this paper, we investigate the performance of the wideband MGCCELP coder at 16 kbit/s in terms of short-term predictor order, i.e., order of MGC analysis. Subjective tests show that the MGCCELP coder with a predict...
