Speech is coded such that it can be generated by a pulse excitation sequence filtered by an LPC (linear preductive coding) filter. The sequence contains, in each of successive frame periods, pulses whose positions and amplitudes may be varied. These variables are selected at the coding end to reduce the error between the input and regenerated speech signals. The selection process involves derivation of an initial estimate followed by an iterative adjustment process in which pulses having a low energy contribution are tested in alternative positions and transferred to them if a reduced error results. |
