SYSTEM FOR EMBEDDED CODING OF SPEECH SIGNALS

摘要

The set of possible excitation signals is subdivided into a plurality of subsets, the first of which provides the contribution to the coded signal necessary to set up a transmission at a minimum rate guaranteed by the network, whilst the others supply a contribution which, when added to that of the first subset, causes a rate increase by successive steps. At the receiving side, a decoded signal is generated by using the excitation contribution of the first subset alone if the coded signals are received at the minimum rate, whilst for rates higher than the minimum rate the contributions of the subsets which have allowed such rate increase are also used.
