Apparatus and method for transcoding between CELP type codecs having different bandwidths

摘要

The present invention overcomes problems of tandem coding method such as degradation of speech quality, increased system latency and computations. An apparatus for trans-coding between code excited linear prediction (CELP) type codecs with different bandwidths, includes: a format parameter translating unit for generating output formant parameters by translating formant parameters from input CELP format to output CELP format; a formant parameter quantizing unit for receiving the output format formant parameters and quantizing the output format formant filter coefficients; an excited parameter translating unit for generating output excitation parameters by translating excitation parameters from input CELP format to output CELP format; and an excitation quantizing unit for receiving the output format excitation parameters and quantizing the output format excitation parameters.
