چکیده
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 AMR-WB codec. The proposed method provides the advantage of scalability due to the embedded bitstream, while it inevitably requires some additional computational complexity for obtaining two different code vectors of the higher bitrate modes. Compared to the AMR-WB codec, the embedded coder shows improved speech qualities for two higher bitrate modes with a slightly increased bitrate caused by the decreased coding efficiency of the algebraic codebook.

An Improved Packet Loss Concealment Method for Mobile Audio Coding
In this paper, we propose an improved packet loss concealment (PLC) algorithm for ACELP-based speech coders in order to improve the quality of decoded speech at the receiver. Conventional receiver-based PLC algorithms in the AMR-WB+ speech codec are usually based on speech correlations to reconstruct the decoded speech of the lost frames by using parameter information obtained from the previous...
