METHOD AND DEVICE FOR EFFICIENT IN-BAND DIM-AND-BURST SIGNALING AND HALF-RATE MAX OPERATION IN VARIABLE BIT-RATE WIDEBAND SPEECH CODING FOR CDMA WIRELESS SYSTEMS

摘要

In the method and device for interoperating a first station using a first communication scheme and comprising a first coder and a first decoder with a second station using a second communication scheme and comprising a second coder and a second decoder, communication between the first and second stations is conducted by transmitting signal-coding parameters related to a sound signal from the coder of one of the first and second stations to the decoder of the other station. The sound signal is classified to determine whether the signal-coding parameters should be transmitted from the coder of one station to the decoder of the other station using a first communication mode in which full bit rate is used for transmission of the signal-coding parameters. When classification of the sound signal determines that the sign al- coding parameters should be transmitted using the first communication mode a nd when a request to transmit the signal-coding parameters from the coder of on e station to the decoder of the other station using a second communication mod e designed to reduce bit rate during transmission of the signal-coding parameters is received, a portion of the signal-coding parameters from the coder one station is dropped and the remaining signal-coding parameters are transmitting to the decoderof the other station using the second communication mode. The dropped portion of the signal-coding parameters are regenerated before the decoder of the other station decodes the signal-codin g parameters.
