SPEECH SIGNAL CODING METHOD AND APPARATUS

摘要

A voice signal coding method is provided for processing the residual base-band signal provided by a Voice Excited Predictive (VEPC) Coder. The residual signal is split over several sub-bands and the contents of each sub-band is dually coded by using a process including a simultaneous direct BCPCM and differential APC coding with dynamic assignment of the quantizing bits according to the relative sub-band contents, which simultaneous coding is followed by a dynamic choice of the sub-band coded output providing the lowest coding error.
