According to the invention, a method for increasing quality of an enhanced output signal to approximate an undistorted sound signal is disclosed. In one step, a distorted input signal is received that includes an embedded corrupting signal. The embedded corrupting signal is statistically related to the undistorted sound signal. An enhancement signal is determined by finding a difference between the distorted input signal and the enhanced output signal. The enhancement signal attempts to offset the affect of the embedded corrupting signal. Based at least in part upon analyzing the enhancement signal, the enhanced output signal is produced.

Enhanced coded speech

The invention relates to methods for encoding/decoding a digitized sound signal which is transmitted over a packet switched network in such a way that diversity is provided. Each sound segment of the digitized sound signal is encoded into at least two different segment descriptions, i.e. into different representations of the sound signal segment. The segment descriptions differ from each other in that they provide different quantization values for a digital sound signal sample. The different segment descriptions are transmitted in separate data packets over the network at different points of time.

Transmission over packet switched networks

The invention relates to methods for encoding/decoding of a digital signal which is transmitted over a packet switched network. Prediction samples are generated at the transmitting and receiving end. The digital signal is lossless encoded at the transmitting end, and lossless decoded at the receiving end, based on the quantizations of generated prediction samples. During encoding, the generated prediction samples are quantized separately from the quantization of the digital samples. The predictions are used in the index domain in the form of quantized indices during encoding/decoding of the digital signal.
