Abstract
A method and system for waveform interpolation speech coding. The method comprises the steps of decomposing the speech signal into a slowly evolving waveform component and a rapidly evolving waveform component in the encoder and determining the power ratio of these surface components so that the power ratio can be used to determine the bit allocation when the surface components are quantized. The power ratio can also be used to modify the phases of the slowly evolving waveform component when the surface components are reconstructed in the decoder in order to improve the speech quality.
