    Abstract: In many applications involving the coding and processing of speech signals the relevant applicable codebook is one which may be termed a sparse codebook. That is, the majority of elements in the codebook are zero valued. The searching of such a sparse codebook is accelerated in accord with the present invention by generating auxiliary information defining the sparse nature of the codebok and using this information to assist and speed up searches of the codebook.In a particular method of searching the calculation of the distance between a target vector and a stored codebook vector is enhanced by use of a distortion metric derived from energy terms and correlation terms of the codebook entries. Calculation of these energy and correlation terms is speeded up by exploiting the sparseness of the codebook entries. The non-zero elements (NZE) of the space codebook are each identified and are defined by their offset from a reference point.

    Abstract: A method, system, and software product for transmitting TTY/TDD signals in a system employing low bit-rate voice compression are disclosed. The method includes receiving an input signal and generating a teletypewriter (TTY) indicator signal from the input signal. Whether or not the input signal is a TTY signal including a TTY character, is determined based on the TTY indicator signal. A TTY packet including the TTY character of the TTY signal is constructed and transmitted if the input signal is determined to be a TTY signal. A method, system, and software product for receiving and decoding TTY/TDD signal is also disclosed.

    Abstract: A speech mode based multi-stage vector quantizer is disclosed which quantizes and encodes line spectral frequency (LSF) vectors that were obtained by transforming the short-term predictor filter coefficients in a speech codec that utilizes linear predictive techniques. The quantizer includes a mode classifier that classifies each speech frame of a speech signal as being associated with one of a voiced, spectrally stationary (Mode A) speech frame, a voiced, spectrally non-stationary (Mode B) speech frame and an unvoiced (Mode C) speech frame. A converter converts each speech frame of the speech signal into an LSF vector and an LSF vector quantizer includes a 12-bit, two-stage, backward predictive vector encoder that encodes the Mode A speech frames and a 22 bit, four-stage backward predictive vector encoder that encodes the Mode 13 and the Mode C speech frames.

    Abstract: A method for encoding a signal that includes a speech component is described. First and second linear prediction windows of a frame are analyzed to generate sets of filter coefficients. First and second pitch analysis windows of the frame are analyzed to generate pitch estimates. The frame is classified in one of at least two modes, e.g. voiced, unvoiced and noise modes, based, for example, on pitch stationarity, short-term level gradient or zero crossing rate. Then the frame is encoded using the filter coefficients and pitch estimates in a particular manner depending upon the mode determination for the frame, preferably employing CELP based encoding algorithms.

    Abstract: Code excited linear prediction (CELP) is performed using two voiced and unvoiced sets of windows, each set is used both for linear prediction and pitch determination. The accompanying degradation in voice quality is comparable to the IS54 standard 8.0 Kbps voice coder employed in U.S. digital cellular systems. This is accomplished by using the same parametric model used in traditional CELP coders but determining, quantizing, encoding, and updating these parameters differently. The low bit rate speech decoder is like most CELP decoders except that it operates in two modes depending on the received mode bit. Both pitch prefiltering and global postfiltering are employed for enhancement of the synthesized speech. In addition, built-in error detection and error recovery schemes are used that help mitigate the effects of any uncorrectable transmission errors.

    Abstract: A sub-band speech coding arrangement divides the speech spectrum into sub-bands and allocates bits to encode the time frame interval samples of each sub-band responsive to the speech energies of the sub-bands. The sub-band samples are quantized according to the sub-band energy bit allocation and the time frame quantized samples and speech energy signals are coded. A signal representative of the residual difference between the each time frame interval speech sample of the sub-band and the corresponding quantized speech sample of the sub-band is generated. The quality of the sub-band coded signal is improved by selecting the sub-bands with the largest residual differences, producing a vector signal from the sequence of residual difference signals of each selected sub-band, and matching the sub-band vector signal to one of a set of stored Gaussian codebook entries to generate a reduced bit code for the selected vector signal. The coded time frame interval quantized signals, speech energy signals and reduced bit codes for the selected residual differences are combined to form a multiplexed stream for the speech pattern of the time frame interval.
