Improving the Error Resilience of G.711.1 Speech Coder with Multiple Description Coding
نویسنده
چکیده
This thesis devises quantization and source-channel coding schemes to increase the error robustness of the newly standardized ITU-T G.711.1 speech coder. The schemes employ Gaussian mixture model (GMM) based multiple description quantizers (MDQ). The thesis reviews the literature focusing on GMM based quantization, MDQ, and GMM-MDQ design methods and bit allocation schemes. GMM-MDQ are then designed for the quantization and coding of the MDCT coefficients in the G.711.1 speech coder. The designs are optimized for and tested over packet erasure channels. Performance of the designs are compared with Mohr’s forward error correcting code based multiple description coding (MDC) scheme.

Tree Encoding for the ITU-T G.711.1 Speech Coder
This paper examines enhancement to ITU-T Recommendation G.711.1 PCM wideband extension speech coder. To further improve the core lower-band coding performance the use of vector quantization and delayed decision coding is studied. A particular case of delayed decision coding, tree encoding, is implemented in the above standard. The bitstream is compatible with both the legacy G.711 and the G.711...
متن کاملEnhancing Speech Coder Quality: Improved Noise Estimation for Postfilters
ITU-T G.711.1 is a multirate wideband extension for the well-known ITU-T G.711 pulse code modulation of voice frequencies. The extended system is fully interoperable with the legacy narrowband one. In the case where the legacy G.711 is used to code a speech signal and G.711.1 is used to decode it, quantization noise may be audible. For this situation, the standard proposes an optional postfilte...
متن کاملA Method to Reduce Effects of Packet Loss in Video Streaming Using Multiple Description Coding
Multiple description (MD) coding has evolved as a promising technique for promoting error resiliency of multimedia system in real-time application programs over error-prone communicational channels. Although multiple description lattice vector quantization (MDCLVQ) is an efficient method for transmitting reliable data in the context of potential error channels, this method doesn’t consider disc...
متن کاملMULTIPLE−DESCRIPTION CODING OF LOGARITHMIC PCM (ThuAmPO2)
A practical approach for the design of multiple−description scalar quantization of speech is presented that conforms to standard G.711 PCM. The method chiefly consists of an index assignment algorithm that enables the side decoders to exhibit SNR characteristics comparable to those of the standard logarithmic quantizer. With two−channel transmission of multiple descriptions, an increase in robu...
متن کاملModified Wideband Speech Coding System with Embedded G.711 Coders
In this paper, we have proposed a novel model for wideband speech signal coding, structurally similar to G.711.1 coding system. Unlike G.711.1 coding system, the proposed model has lower complexity that is provided by employing G.711 coders in both branches after applying transformation coding. This way, signal is not being divided into frames, which leads to substantially reduced processing de...
