SPEECH CODING WITH IMPROVED BACKGROUND NOISE REPRODUCTION

摘要

In producing an approximation of an original speech signal from encoded information about the original speech signal, current parameters (EnPar(i)) associated with a current segment of the original speech signal are determined from the encoded information. Reproduction of a noise component of the original speech signal is improved by using at least one of the current parameters and corresponding previous parameters respectively associated with previous segments of the original speech signal (31, 37, 39) to produce a modified parameter (EnPar(i)mod). The modified parameter is then used (25, 40) to produce an approximation of the current segment of the original speech signal.
