Abstract
A priority assignment method and device are set forth for assigning a priority to a selected speech frame coded by a linear predictive coder based on at least two of: an energy of the speech frame, a log spectral distance between a frame and a frame immediately previous, and a pitch predictor coefficient for the selected speech frame. The invention protects against loss of perceptually important and hard-to-reconstruct speech frames.
