Abstract
To improve the speech quality at lower bit rates within a digital communication system in which the coefficients of a frequency transform (e.g. discrete cosine transform) are adaptively encoded with adaptive quantization and adaptive bit-assignment, the adaptation is controlled by a short-term spectral estimate signal formed by combining the formant spectrum and the pitch excitation spectrum of the coefficient signals.
