<p>A method and apparatus is disclosed (Fig. 3) for improving the quality of speech samples communicated via sub-band coding utilizing adaptive bit allocation (Fig. 1), by providing error detection only on the adaptive bit allocation information. A first error detection code (340), such as a cyclic redundancy check (CRC), is calculated on the bit allocation parameters (330) in the transmitter (130) and sent to the receiver (180), where a second error detection code (370) is calculated based upon the reconstructed bit allocation parameters (360). The transmitted error detection code is then used to determine (380) if the received bit allocation information is correct, and if not, the frame of speech data is discarded. By protecting only the bit allocation information, additional speech frames may be salvaged from the error-prone channel, thus further increasing speech intelligibility.</p> |
