    摘要: A method and system for controlling speech encoding in a communication system utilizes feedback information such as packet modification control data (154) sent from a communication link output controller, such as a network arbitor (142). The network arbitor (142) sends the packet modification control data (154) to a selected vocoder (146) to change the filter states of the selected vocoder (146) when the network arbitor (142) modifies an output speech packet communicated of a communication link (20), to facilitate improved convergence of a speech encoder and a speech decoder, such as a mobile subscriber unit.

    摘要: The invention provides a method of retransmitting a speech packet. In one embodiment, the method includes receiving (S702) at a transmitting device (140) a first negative acknowledgement (NACK) from a receiving device (120). The NAK indicates a corrupted first speech packet transmission. The transmitting device then retrieves (S706) a first speech packet associated with the first NACK and compresses (S714-S720) the speech packet to form a replacement speech packet. Next, a current segment of speech is encoded (S808) to form a current speech packet and current speech packet is combined with the replacements speech packet. The combined speech packet is then transmitted (S814) to the receiving device.

    摘要: A method and system for controlling an encoding rate in a communication system utilizes feedforward rate information (48) and/or rate desirability information (50) sent from each of a plurality of variable rate vocoders (34) to a communication link output controller (24), such as a network arbitor. The communication link output controller (24) then sends a feedback control signal (32) to a selected variable rate vocoder to change the encoding rate of the selected variable rate vocoder to facilitate re-encoding of the speech packet when a bottleneck is detected. In another embodiment, the network arbitor (134) may additionally and independently modify speech packet data when it determines that a bottleneck may occur. The network arbitor (134) also communicates a packet modification control signal (132) for the variable rate vocoder that generated the dropped packet so that the corresponding variable rate vocoder can adjust its filter states to maintain convergence.

    摘要: A noise suppression system implemented in communication system provides an improved level of quality during severe signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) conditions. The noise suppression system, inter alia, incorporates a frequency domain comb-filtering (289) technique which supplements a traditional spectral noise suppression method. The invention includes a real cepstrum generator (285) for an input signal (285) G(k) to produce a likely voiced speech pitch lag component and converting a result to frequency domain to obtain a comb-filter function (290) C(k), applying input signal (291) G(k) to comb-filter function (290) C(k), and equalizing the energies of the corresponding pre and post filtered subbands, to produce a signal (293) G″(k) to be used for noise suppression. This prevents high frequency components from being unnecessarily attenuated, thereby reducing muffling effects of prior art comb-filters.

    摘要: Bits are allocated to short-term repetition information for unvoiced input signals. Stated differently, more bits are allocated for pitch information during unvoiced input speech than in the prior art. The improved method and apparatus in an encoder (300) and decoder (700) result in improved consistency of amplitude pulses compared to prior art methods which indicates improved stability due to increased search resolution. Also, the improved method and apparatus result in higher energy compared to prior art methods which indicates that the synthesized waveform matches the target waveform more closely, resulting in a higher fixed codebook (FCB) gain.

    摘要: A method and apparatus for noise suppression is described herein. The channel gain is controlled based on a degree of variability of the background noise. The noise variability estimate is used in conjunction with a variable attenuation concept to produce a family of gain curves that are adaptively suited for a variety of combinations of long-term peak SNR and noise variability. More specifically, a measure of the variability of the background noise is used to provide an optimized threshold that reduces the occurrence of non-stationary background noise entering into the transition region of the gain curve.
