Low-Delay 16 kb/s Wideband Speech Coder with Fast Search Methods

چکیده
In this paper, a low delay 16 kb/s wideband speech coder with a buffering delay of 1.25 ms is introduced. This coder is basically inspired from the G.728 LD-CELP standard for narrowband speech signals. Our main goal is to reduce the implementation complexity of our wideband G728 like coder, which is mainly due to the search of the optimal excitation (gain-shape) in codebook. For this reason an algebraic codebook is proposed and an exhaustive optimal search and suboptimal full position and Joint Position and Amplitude Search techniques are implemented. Objective and subjective measures on a large corpus of a testing speech database show that the JPAS (Joint Position and Amplitude Search) multistage search technique proposed recently can yield to a very important reduction of coder computational load, without decreasing the perceived quality of wideband speech signals compared to other search techniques.

Low-Delay Speech Coding at 16 kb/s and Below
Development of network quality speech coders at 16 kb/s and below is an active research area. This thesis focuses on the study of low-delay Code Excited Linear Predictive (CELP) and tree coders. A 16 kb/s stochastic tree coder based on the (M,L) search algorithm suggested by Iyengar and Kabal and a low-delay CELP coder proposed by AT&T (CCITT 16 kb/s standardization candidate) are examined. The...
متن کاملA 16 kb/s Wideband CELP-Based Speech Coder Using Mel-Generalized Cepstral Analysis
We propose a wideband CELP-type speech coder at 16 kb/s based on a mel-generalized cepstral (MGC) analysis technique. MGC analysis makes it possible to obtain a more accurate representation of spectral zeros compared to linear predictive (LP) analysis and take a perceptual frequency scale into account. A major advantage of the proposed coder is that the benefits of MGC representation of speech ...

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-...

Absrruct-This paper studies a speech coder using a tree code generated by a stochastic innovations tree and backward adaptive synthesis filters. The synthesis configuration uses a cascade of two all-pole filters: a pitch (long time delay) filter followed by a formant (short time delay) filter. Both filters are updated using backward adaptation. The formant predictor is updated using an adaptive...

For speech codem to be used in network applications, a transparent or near transparent quality (Mean Opinion Score rating of 4.0) is required. Though this is a necessary criterion, other desired properties include: low-delay, robustnem to channel errors, moderate complexity, capability to handle non-speech s i p nals in the telephone band, and good tandeming ~~~~~e. The CCITT's current consider...
