Abstract
The invention provides a method for speech coding using Code-Excited Linear Prediction (CELP) producing toll-quality speech at data rates between 4 and 16 Kbit/s. The invention uses a series of baseline, implied and adaptive codebooks, comprised of pulse and random codebooks, with associated gain vectors, to characterize the speech. Improved quantization and search techniques to achieve real-time operation, based on the codebooks and gains, are also provided.
