Perceptual Evaluation of Speech Quality for iLBC Vocoder with Uneven Level Protection over Narrow Band MSK Radio
نویسنده
چکیده
Narrow band MSK(Minimum Shift Keying) radio is applied for high receiving sensitive wireless communications like “walky-talky”. iLBC (internet Low Bit-rate Codec) is widely used in VoIP (Voice over IP) applications like “Skype”. This paper is concerned with the speech quality by using iLBC in narrow band MSK wireless communication. Several ULP (Uneven Level Protection) strategies to protect different part of iLBC coded payloads are evaluated under AWGN (Additive White Gaussian Noise). We utilize PESQ (Perceptual Evaluation of Speech Quality) to evaluate the perceptual speech quality. Simulation results show that significant improvement of PESQ scores are obtained by using appropriate ULP strategies so that our proposed MSK radio system can also achieve high receiving sensitivity. Key-Words: MSK, iLBC, VoIP, ULP, PESQ.

Using FFI Interpolator and VQ Quantization for Designing of High Quality 1200 BPS Speech Vocoder
Storaging or transmission of speech signals at very low bit rate is a hot area in the field of speech processing. We used stochastic inter-frame interpolators and vector quantization (VQ) as a new method for developing a high quality 1200 BPS speech vocoder. The objective and subjecgtive test results show that performance of the new vocoder is compairable with 4800 BPS standard vocoders (as CELP).
متن کاملSpeech Processing
The processing of speech signals has a long and venerable history. As early as 1770 Wolfgang von Kempelen demonstrated his mechanical talking machine to the courts of Europe. In 1928 Homer Dudley invented the “vocoder” (voice coder) arguing that speech is specified by a few slowly varying parameters requiring only a fraction of the telephone bandwidth for transmission. A digital vocoder was fir...

متن کاملObjective Speech Quality Evaluation. A primarily Experiments on a Various Age and Gender Speakers Corpus
The present work was carried out to investigate the relation between a speaker’s age and the quality of the encoded speech for several, well known speech coding techniques and a commercially available vocoder CMX618. For this purpose, a corpus of speech records obtained from speakers of various age and gender groups was created. The PESQ (Perceptual Evaluation of Speech quality) method was used...
