Study of voice packet reconstruction methods applied to CELP speech coding
Yong Ma · 1992
Four voice packet reconstruction methods used for speech coded by code excited linear prediction (CELP)-type speech coders are described. In the first method, the authors generalize the waveform substitution technique originally developed for the PCM coded speech to the CELP speech coding. In the second method, a priority level is assigned to each speech frame to protect against those perceptually important and hard-to-reconstruct speech frames being lost. The third and fourth methods both split the information bits in a frame into two groups of different levels of importance. In method three, the bits for representing the filter parameters are given high priority and bits for representing the excitation signals are given low priority. Method four is an embedded coding technique based on two-stage CELP. The four methods were tested in combination with a simulated voice activity and queuing model and their performance is discussed.>
