摘要:
The present invention relates to improvements of predictive encoding/decoding operations performed on a signal which is transmitted over a packet switched network. The signal is encoded on a block by block basis in such way that a block A-B is predictive encoded independently of any preceding blocks. A start state 715 located somewhere between the end boundaries A and B of the block is encoded using any applicable coding method. Both block parts surrounding the start state is then predictive encoded based on the start state and in opposite directions with respect to each other, thereby resulting in a full encoded representation 745 of the block A-B. At the decoding end, corresponding decoding operations are performed.

The present invention relates to improvements of predictive encoding/decoding operations performed on a signal which is transmitted over a packet switched network. The signal is encoded on a block by block basis in such way that a block A-B is predictive encoded independently of any preceding blocks. A start state (715) located somewhere between the end boundaries A and B of the block is encoded using any applicable coding method. Both block parts surrounding the start state is then predictive encoded based on the start state and in opposite directions with respect to each other, thereby resulting in a full encoded representation (745) of the block A-B. At the decoding end, corresponding decoding operations are performed.

In producing from an original speech signal a plurality of parameters from which an approximation of the original speech signal can be reconstructed, a coded signal of the original speech signal is generated. At least one of the parameters is determined using first and second differences between the original speech signal and the coded signal. The first difference is a difference between a waveform associated with the original speech signal and a waveform associated with the coded signal, and the second difference is a difference between an energy parameter derived from the original speech signal and a corresponding energy parameter associated with the coded signal.

A post-processing method for a speech decoder which outputs a decoded speech signal in the time domain provides high frequency resolution based on a frequency spectrum having non-harmonic and noise deficiencies. This is obtained by transforming the decoded time domain signal to a frequency domain signal by using a high frequency resolution transform (FFT). Then an analysis of the energy distribution of the frequency domain signal is made throughout its frequency area (4 kHz) to find the disturbing frequency components and to prioritize such frequency components which are situated in the higher part of the frequency spectrum. Next, the suppression degree for the disturbing frequency components is found based on prioritizing. Finally the steps of controlling a post-filtering of the transform in dependence of the finding, and inverse transforming the post-filtered transform in order to obtain a post-filtered decoded speech signal in the time domain are performed.

A method and an apparatus for indicating presence of a transient noise in a call are provided. The method comprises the steps of determining activity at an endpoint of the call by monitoring presence of a signal input from the endpoint into the call and monitoring presence of a potential source of transient noise at the endpoint. Further, based on the activity determination and the monitoring of the presence of a potential source of transient noise, a signal representative of the presence of a transient noise in the call is sent. The present invention is advantageous in that it enables improvement of the quality of the call.

The invention relates to a method and an apparatus for mixing audio signals. The invention is based on the idea to base selection of what audio channels to mix on the dynamic behaviour of the audio channels in terms of whether they are active or not, rather than basing the selection on quantative measures of the audio channels. According to the invention, a set of audio channels are arranged in a mixing stack and a mixed audio signal is produced from the topmost channels above a predetermined threshold level in the stack. Whenever a channel becomes active, it is placed at the top of the stack.

The quality of comfort noise generated by a speech decoder during non-speech periods is improved by modifying comfort noise parameter values normally used to generate the comfort noise. The comfort noise parameter values are modified in response to variability information associated with a background noise parameter. The modified comfort noise parameter values are then used to generate the comfort noise.

The invention relates to methods for encoding/decoding of a digital signal which is transmitted over a packet switched network. Prediction samples are generated at the transmitting and receiving end. The digital signal is lossless encoded at the transmitting end, and lossless decoded at the receiving end, based on the quantizations of generated prediction samples. During encoding, the generated prediction samples are quantized separately from the quantization of the digital samples. The predictions are used in the index domain in the form of quantized indices during encoding/decoding of the digital signal.

A linear predictive analysis-by-synthesis encoder includes a search algorithm block (50) and a vector quantizer (58) for vector quantizing optimal gains from a plurality of subframes in a frame. The internal encoder states are updated (50, 52, 54, 56) using the vector quantized gains.
