An adaptive multi-rate speech coder for digital cellular telephony
نویسندگان
چکیده
We have developed an adaptive multi-rate (AMR) speech coder designed to operate under the GSM digital cellular full rate (22.8 kb/s) and half rate (11.4 kb/s) channels and to maintain high quality in the presence of highly varying background noise and channel conditions. Within each total rate, several codec modes with different source/channel bit rate allocations are used. The speech coders in each codec mode are based on the CELP algorithm operating at rates ranging from 11.85 kb/s down to 5.15 kb/s, where the lowest rate coder is a source controlled multi-modal speech coder. The decoders monitor channel quality at both ends of the wireless link using the soft values for the received bits and assist the base station in selecting the codec mode that is appropriate for a given channel condition. The coder was submitted to the GSM AMR standardization competition and met the qualification requirements in an independent formal MOS test.

The Adaptive Multi-rate Speech Coder
In this paper, we describe the Adaptive Multi-Rate (AMR) speech coder currently under standardization for GSM systems as part of the AMR speech service. The coder is a multi-rate ACELP coder with 8 modes operating at bit-rates from 12.2 kbit/s down to 4.75 kbitls. The coder modes are integrated in a common structure where the bit-rate scalability is realized mainly by altering the quantization ...

متن کاملAn embedded adaptive multi-rate wideband speech coder
This paper presents a multi-rate wideband speech coder with bit rates from 8 to 32 kb/s. The coder uses a splitband approach, where the input signal, sampled at 16 kHz, is split into two equal frequency bands from 0-4 kHz and 4-8 kHz, each of which is decimated to an 8 kHz sampling rate. The lower band is coded using the Adaptive Multi-rate (AMR) family of high-quality narrowband speech coders,...
