Transform trellis coded quantization of speech using small frame sizes
Victoria Sánchez, José L. Pérez-Córdoba, J. M. López, Antonio J. Rubio · 2002
Proposes a transform trellis coded quantization (TTCQ) scheme suitable for low-delay speech coding. This scheme is based on a general transform domain formulation for small frame sizes and the trellis coded quantization technique previously proposed where Ungerboeck's amplitude modulation trellises and set partitioning ideas are used for source coding. Using the discrete cosine transform the authors apply this technique to the coding of 7 kHz wideband speech, a matter of interest due to ISDN based applications. A 32 kbps low-delay coder is developed, simulation results showing a very high speech quality comparable to that obtained by the G722 standard at 64 kbps.>
