This paper proposes a multi-layer super-wideband embedded speech and audio coding algorithm extending bit rates from 36 to 64 kb/s on the basis of ITU-T Recommendation G.729.1 with a multi-stage coding structure. This codec consists of three embedded stages: G.729.1 wideband coding operating in the range from 8 to 32 kb/s, modified Modulated Lapped Transform (MLT) coding of the band (7-14 kHz) at 36, 40 & 48 kb/s and MDCT transform coding for wideband residual signal at 56 and 64 kb/s. In addition, some methods are proposed in transform coding according to perception significance. The objective and subjective listening tests show that this codec has good performance compared with reference codec.
