Voice-coding-and-transmission system

摘要

In a voice coding-and-transmission system using a differential coding, a degradation of voice quality caused by a silent period transmission network and an ATM network is prevented without improving a silent-period elimination transmission network and existing transmission networks such as a STM network. In a relay node (104), an encoder (114) codes a voice signal from a decoder (108) again for a transient period immediately after a voice is started, and a transmission node (100) and a reception node (102) are tandem-connected. The encoder (114) and a decoder (122) at a reception node (102) are given respectively same reference values of a differential processing by memories (118, 128) when the voice is started, thereby preventing an abnormal sound generation due to a mismatch of inner statuses thereof when the voice is started. During the transient period, the internal statuses of an encoder (106) at a reception node (100) and the decoder (122) are closed each other. After the transient period is elapsed, switching a switch in a silent-period eliminator (112) to a digital-one-link, thereby preventing the degradation of the voice duality caused by quantization errors. <IMAGE>
