An embedded adaptive multi-rate wideband speech coder
نویسندگان
چکیده
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, while the higher band is represented by a simple but effective parametric model. A complete solution including this wideband speech coder, channel coding for various GSM channels, and dynamic rate adaptation, easily passed all Selection Rules and ranked second overall in the recent 3GPP AMR Wideband Selection Testing. Besides high performance, additional advantages of the embedded split-band approach include ease of implementation, reduced complexity, and simplified interoperation with narrowband speech coders.

An Embedded ACELP Speech Coding Based on the AMR - WB
Kyung Jin Byun et al. 231 ABSTRACT⎯This letter proposes a new embedded speech coding structure based on the Adaptive Multi-Rate Wideband (AMR-WB) standard codec. The proposed coding scheme consists of three different bitrates where the two lower bitrates are embedded into the highest one. The embedded bitstream was achieved by modifying the algebraic codebook search procedure adopted for the AM...
متن کاملLossless Wideband Speech Coding
This paper investigates lossless coding of wideband speech by adding a lossless enhancement layer to the lossy baselayer produced by a standardised wideband speech coder. Both the ITU-T G.722 and G.722.2 speech coders are examined. Entropy results show that potential compression rates are dependent on the type and bit rate of the baselayer coder as well as the symbol size used by the lossless c...
متن کاملA low-delay wideband speech coder at 24-kbps
A novel low-delay wideband speech coder, called Multiband CELP (MB-CELP) achieves a delay of about 10 ms, by exploiting time-domain correlations with a twostage linear prediction scheme. A low-order forwardadaptive LP stage models coarse shape, and a highorder backward-adaptive LP stage models ne structure of the input spectrum. A conditional pitch prediction method improves the performance of ...
متن کاملTechniques for high-quality ACELP coding of wideband speech
We present in this paper new methods for achieving highquality wideband speech at low rates using the ACELP algorithm. Several innovations are introduced to optimize the quality and minimize the complexity of the coder. A multi-rate wideband speech encoding algorithm based on these techniques was recently selected by 3GPP as the standard for AMR-WB, and is currently one of the candidates for th...
متن کاملA multi-band CELP wideband speech coder
A novel low-delay wideband speech coder, called Multiband CELP (MB-CELP), overcomes the major obstacles usually associated with two traditional CELP approaches to wideband speech coding namely fullband CELP and split-band CELP. The new MB-CELP coder employs a multi-band bank of o -line ltered excitation codebooks, fullband linear prediction synthesis, and minimization of the error between origi...
