Application of differential microphone array for IS-127 EVRC rate determination algorithm

چکیده
Differential microphone array is known to have low sensitivity to distant sound sources. Such characteristics may be advantageous in voice activity detection where it can be assumed that the target speaker is close and background noise sources are distant. In this paper we develop a simple modification to the EVRC rate determination algorithm (EVRC RDA) to exploit the noise-canceling property of differential microphone array to improve its performance in highly dynamic noise environment. Comprehensive computer simulations show that the modified algorithm outperforms the original EVRC RDA in all tested noise conditions.

Improving EVRC half rate by the algebraic VQ-CELP
This paper presents an algebraic vector quantized codebook excited linear prediction (AVQ-CELP) speech codec. The objective is to enhance the half rate mode of IS-127, the enhanced variable rate codec (EVRC). In AVQ-CELP scheme, only the perceptually important components are encoded, and the selection of the components is done in a way similar to the ACELP. An open-loop procedure is used to sel...
متن کاملA Differential Microphone Array with Input Level Alignment, Directional Equalization and Fast Notch Adaptation for Handsfree Communication
We revisit the standard differential microphone of [1] and propose three algorithmic enhancements. First, a simple alignment procedure equalizes the power levels of the input signals. Second, we describe an efficient algorithm to equalize the distorted directional response of the original algorithm. This enables a wider operating frequency range and helps to reduce the noise gain of the array. ...

The Enhanced Variable Rate Codec (EVRC) is a standard for the “Speech Service Option 3 for Wideband Spread Spectrum Digital System,” which has been employed in both IS-95 cellular systems and ANSI J-STC-008 PCS (Personal Communications Systems). This paper investigates the combination of turbo codes with Unequal Error Protection (UEP) and 16-QAM modulation for EVRC codec of Rate 1 to get power ...
متن کاملApplication of Differential Kinetic Method Using ANN with a New Synthetic Reagent for Simultaneous Spectrophotometric Determination of Mercury and Palladium
A new selective reagent was used for simultaneous determination of mercury and palladium in real samples with their different kinetic spectrophotometric properties. The method is based on the difference in the rate of the oxidation reaction of the recently synthesized reagent, nitro benzoyl diphenylmethylen phosphorane (N-BDMP), with Hg2+ and Pd2+. The kinetic profiles were monitored and record...
متن کاملAn efficient codebook search algorithm for EVRC
In this paper, a fast implementation algorithm for EVRC encoder is presented. Among the routines of CELP-type speech coders, the fixed codebook search is the most computationally demanding. The fast algorithm developed in this study mainly concerns the fixed codebook search procedure. For efficient codebook search, two efficient schemes are developed: limiting the number of possible combination...
