Noise reduction on speech codec parameters
H. Taddei, Christophe Beaugeant, M. De Meuleneire · 2004
The transmission of speech in mobile or packet networks requires the use of a speech codec. In order to improve the quality of speech in a noisy environment, a noise reduction algorithm is used. This noise reduction can either be done as pre-processing before speech encoding or in the network by decoding the bitstream, performing the speech enhancement in the time and/or frequency domain and re-encoding the speech. Both methods are computationally expensive. In this paper a new approach to reduce environmental background noise by modifying the codec parameters is discussed.
