    摘要: A transcoder for use between speech codecs using different Code-Excited Linear Prediction (CELP) type and a method therefor are disclosed. The transcoder includes a decoding unit of an input CELP codec, a transcoding filter, a transcoding filter design unit, and an encoding unit of an output CELP codec. By substituting a post-filter and a perceptual weighting filter of a prior art with one transcoding filter, the calculation amount of the transcoder is reduced, and speech quality decoded at a receiving end is improved.

    摘要: There is provided a speech coding/decoding apparatus and method, in which the input speech signals are classified into several classes in accordance with characteristics of the input speech signals and the input speech signals are coded using frame sizes, quantizer structures, and bit assignment methods corresponding to the determined classes, or in which the frame sizes can be adjusted in accordance with network conditions or codec type of a counter part. Therefore, by optimally adjusting the frame size, the quantizer structure, and the bit assignment method in accordance with the characteristics of input speech, it is possible to improve the performance of the speech coding apparatus, and by adjusting the frame size in accordance with the speech codec type of a counter part, it is also possible to reduce the total end-to-end delay.

    摘要: Provided are a speech restoration system and method for concealing packet losses. The system includes a demultiplexer that demultiplexes an input bit stream and divides the input bit stream into several packets; a packet loss concealing unit that produces and outputs a linear spectrum pair (LSP) coefficient representing the vocal tract of voice and an excitation signal corresponding to a lost frame, when a packet loss occurs; and a speech restoring unit that synthesizes voice using the packets input from the demultiplexer, outputs the result as restored voice, and synthesizes voice corresponding to a lost packet using the LSP coefficient and the excitation signal input from the packet loss concealing unit and outputs the result as restored voice when the lost packet is detected, wherein the packet loss concealing unit repeats linear prediction coefficients (LPCs) of a last-received valid frame, produces a first excitation signal for the lost frame using a time scale modification (TSM) method, when the lost frame is voiceless, and produces a second excitation signal by re-estimating a gain parameter based on the first excitation signal, when the lost frame is voiced.
