Abstract: A pitch estimating method includes the steps of (1) determining a set of pitch candidates to estimate a pitch of a digitized speech signal at each of a plurality of time instants, wherein series of these time instants define segments of the digitized speech signal; (2) constructing a pitch contour using a pitch candidate selected from each of the sets of pitch candidates determined in the first step; and (3) selecting a representative pitch estimate for the digitized speech signal segment from the set of pitch candidates comprising the pitch contour.

Abstract: A line spectral frequency (LSF) vector quantizer, having particular application in digital cellular networks (DCN), is provided for code excited linear predictive (CELP) speech encoders. The LSF vector quantizer is efficient in terms of bits employed, robust and effective in terms of performance across speakers and handsets, moderate in terms of complexity, and accommodates effective and simple built-in transmission error detection schemes. The LSF vector quantizer employs a minimum number of bits, is of moderate complexity and incorporates built-in error detection capability in order to combat transmission errors. The LSF vector quantizer classifies unquantized line spectral frequencies into four categories, employing different vector quantization tables for each category. Each quantization table is optimized for particular types of vectors. For each category, three split vector codebooks are used with a simplified error measure to find three candidate split quantized vectors. The three sets of three split vectors are combined to produce as many as 27 vectors from each category. The quantizer then makes a final selection of optimal category using a more complex error measure to achieve the robust performance across speakers and handsets. Split vector quantization follows a two stage constrained search procedure that results in an ordered set of quantized line spectral frequencies that is "close" to the unquantized set with moderate complexity within each category. Effective and simple transmission error detection schemes at the receiver are made possible by the split nature of the vector quantization and the constrained search procedure. Only twenty-six bits are required to encode ten line spectral frequencies.

Abstract: A digital discontinuous cellular communication system has a transmitter that transmits two frames of data following detection of voice inactivity. A receiver includes a comfort noise generator that uses the two frames of data to output noise to the speaker during period of voice inactivity. The comfort noise generator includes synthesis codebook with samples scaled by actual background noise and excitation codebook with samples filtered and scaled by the background noise that are combined to produce comfort noise having attributes and loudness level of the received background noise prior to interruption of transmission. The scaled signals are weighted to vary the loudness level and spectral attributes.
