Abstract
A joint data (features) and channel (bias) estimation framework for robust processing of speech received over a channel is described. A trellis encoded vector quantizer is used as a pre-processor to estimate the channel bias using blind maximum likelihood sequence estimation. Sequential constraint in the feature vector sequence of a speech signal is applied for the selection of the quantized signal constellation and for the decoding process in joint data and channel estimation. A two state trellis encoded vector quantizer is designed for signal bias removal applications.
