A method of encoding a speech signal for transmission in a communications network involves transforming the signal into a sequence of frames, each frame including a plurality of coefficients; dividing the frame into a set of sub-bands each containing a sub-set of the plurality of coefficients; applying an optimization function to calculate respective test values corresponding to respective candidate sets of pulses representing a coded form of at least some of the coefficients; and selecting a set of pulses having a test value which meets a selectability criterion. If the optimisation function is an error function, the selectability criterion is minimization of the function. If the optimization function is an iterative function, the selectability criterion is selecting an iteration in which a certain condition is reached.
