摘要： A multi-channel speech processor for encoding speech in a packet network environment is disclosed. In one illustrative aspect, a complexity resource manager (CRM) is executed by a controller or processor. The CRM manages the level of complexity of encoding which is used by a signal processing unit (SPU) to convert the speech signal into packet data. In general, the CRM determines the level of complexity of encoding based on a calculated complexity budget, where the complexity budget is determined based on the time required to process prior speech signal channels and the time available to process the remaining channels. In this way, the CRM is able to control the overall complexity of the speech processor through its ability to signal the SPU to encode speech signal in a complexity reduced mode based on the calculated complexity budget under certain conditions.
