A speech encoding or decoding arrangement (711, 721, 811, 821) comprises a speech signal input and a multiple mode speech encoder (402) or decoder (411) for encoding or decoding speech signals coupled to the speech signal input selectabily with a first encoding or decoding mode associated with a first bandwidth or a second encoding or decoding mode associated with a second bandwidth. It comprises a soft bandwidth switching block (401, 412, 500) with an input (IN) and an output (OUT). In an encoding arrangement the input (IN) is coupled to the speech signal input and the output (OUT) is coupled to the multiple mode speech encoder (402). In a decoding arrangement the input (IN) is coupled to the multiple mode speech decoder (411) and the output (OUT) is the output of the decoding arrangement. The soft bandwidth switching block (401, 412, 500) is arranged to gradually change the bandwidth of a speech signal coupled to the multiple mode speech encoder or decoder as a response to an instruction for changing speech signal bandwidth (421). |
