    摘要: A technique is used in a speech encoder (107) that reduces non-speech activity of a low bit rate digital voice message. Speech model parameters that include quantized speech spectral parameter vectors are generated in a sequence of frames. A determination is made as to which frames of the sequence of frames are voiced frames and which frames are unvoiced frames. A consecutive sequence of frames of unvoiced frames is identified (2330) as an unvoiced burst when a length, NUV, of the consecutive sequence of frames exceeds a predetermined length, Ns. A non-speech activity portion of the unvoiced burst is identified (2335-2365) and removed.

    摘要: A system controller (106) is for transferring a low bit rate digital voice message. The system controller generates from an analog voice signal representing the voice message a set of speech model parameters, and generates a first derived set of speech model parameters from a first subset of the set of speech model parameters, the first derived set encoding the voice signal at a second voice quality and second vocoder rate that are less, respectively, than a first voice quality and vocoder rate. The system controller transmits (3610) the low bit rate-digital voice message comprising the first derived set of speech model parameters to a communication receiver (114). The communication receiver requests (3640) an incremental message when the quality of the voice message is unsatisfactory. The system controller generates and transmits (3555, 3650) an incremental message-and the communication receiver uses (3660) the incremental message to generate a higher quality voice message.

Speech model parameters have been generated in a sequence of frames. The speech model parameters include quantized speech spectral parameter vectors.

    摘要: A system controller (106) includes a speech encoder (107) that encodes a low bit rate digital voice message. The speech encoder sets values of words of a header of the encoded message. The values of the words define a quantity of frames in the voice message, N, and define a vocoder rate used for the encoded message. The speech encoder sets a state of each indicator in each frame status field of N frame status fields that are transmitted after the header of the encoded message. The speech encoder assembles N frame data fields, wherein each of the frame data fields comprises a set of data words. The N frame data fields follow the N frame status fields. Each set of data words conforms to at least one of the vocoder rate and the states of the indicators. A decoder (3310) decodes the encoded low bit rate digital message.

    摘要: A bandwidth efficient method of wireless communication among simultaneous multiple users includes the steps of monitoring (102) for voice activity from a plurality of sources (302 or 304) on a channel and detecting voice activity (107) among the plurality of sources during a predetermined time period. If voice activity is detected from only a first source, then code the voice activity from the first source and transmit a full-rate packet of data (109) to a wireless subscriber (50). If voice activity is detected from at least a first source and a second source amounting to N sources, then code such N sources using a 1/N-rate vocoder to obtain N different 1/N rate data packets (112) and combining (114) the N 1/N-rate data packets from at least the first source and the second source before transmitting (116) a full packet of data to the wireless subscriber.

    摘要: A method and apparatus for providing intelligible fast forward and reverse playback of messages which include time-scale compressed speech using a time scale modification technique. A receiver (2604) receives (2902) a message including speech compressed at a predetermined compression rate and a message rate identifier which identifies the predetermined compression rate which are then stored in a memory by a processor (2610). The processor (2610) processes (2912) the stored message to time-scale expand the compressed speech at an expansion rate that is equal to the predetermined compression defined by the message rate identifier so as to produce a normal speech playback speed. The processor (2610) also processes (3000, 3100) the stored message to time-scale expand the compressed speech at an expansion rate that is lower than the predetermined compression rate defined by the message rate identifier, so as to produce a perceptibly increased speech playback speed.
