    摘要: In recent years, the telecommunications industry has witnessed the proliferation of a variety of digital vocoders in order to meet bandwidth demands of different wireline and wireless communication systems. The rapid growth in the diversity of networks and the number of users of such networks is increasing the number of instances where two vocoders are placed in tandem to serve a single connection. Such arrangements of low bit-rate codecs can degrade the quality of the transmitted speech. To overcome this problem the invention provides a novel method and an apparatus for transmitting digitized voice signals in the wireless communications environment. The apparatus is capable of converting a compressed speech signal from one format to another format via an intermediate common format, thus avoiding the necessity to successively de-compress voice data to a PCM type digitization and then recompress the voice data.

    摘要: A linear prediction analysis is performed for each frame of a speech signal to determine the coefficients of a short-term synthesis filter and an open-loop analysis is performed to determine a degree of frame voicing. At least one closed-loop analysis is performed for each sub-frame to determine an excitation sequence which, when applied to the short-term synthesis filter, generates a synthetic signal representative of the speech signal. Each closed-loop analysis uses the impulse response of a filter consisting of the short-term synthesis filter and a perceptual weighting filter, by truncating the impulse response to a truncation length that is no greater than the number of samples per sub-frame and is dependent on the energy distribution of the response and the degree of voicing of the frame.

    摘要: Data communication apparatus including a port and a control entity. The control entity is operative to establish a connection with a remote entity over a first path and negotiate with the remote entity using in-band signaling over the first path establishment of a second path allowing the exchange of data between the data communication apparatus and the remote entity. The invention presents advantages from the standpoint of ease of implementation and bandwidth and resource savings. The use of an in-band messaging protocol to negotiate a establishment of the second path can be implemented generally in a straight forward manner. At the same time, the ability to transfer at least part of the connection to the second path avoids the drawbacks that would arise if that part of the connection were constrained to the first path. This feature allows the operator to take advantage of benefits provided by the second path but not available to the first path.

    摘要: This invention relates to a method and an apparatus for processing digital audio signals that may reduce the signal degradation occurring when the signal is exchanged between two communication terminals equipped with vocoders in a communication network. The solution proposed by this invention is to provide a communication terminal with a vocoder including a decoder section provided with a plurality of decoding units. A switch activates a selected one of the decoding units in dependence of the format of the compressed audio signal data frames received from a remote communication terminal. This system allows the communication terminal to support a number of different speech compression formals. In order to achieve simplicity and low cost, the communication terminal is provided with a single encoding unit. This results in an asymmetric arrangement where the communication terminal has a large number of decoding units than encoding units. The great majority of the speech compression algorithms deployed in wireless and Internet telephony standards have the property that their speech decoders are of far less computational complexity than their respective speech encoder. Therefore, a low-cost terminal can be produced which supports a low complexity speech encoder unit and a variety of speech decoder units.

    摘要: A linear prediction analysis is performed for each frame of a speech signal to determine the coefficients of a short-Term synthesis filter. For each sub-frame, an excitations sequence which, when applied to the short-term synthesis filter generates a synthetic signal representative of the speech signal, is determined by means of an iterative process in which a symmetrical matrix B.sub.n, is gradually built up with each iteration. The matrix B.sub.n is reversed with each iteration by decomposing the pattern B.sub.n =L.sub.n .multidot.R.sub.n.sup.T with L.sub.n =R.sub.n .multidot.K.sub.n where L.sub.n and R.sub.n are triangular matrices and K.sub.n is a diagonal matrix, and matrix L.sub.n has only 1s on its main diagonal.
