Abstract
A method to reduce memory requirements for a packet loss concealment algorithm in the event of packet loss in a receiver of pulse code modulated voice signals. A voice playout unit in the receiver shares its nominal delay buffer with a history buffer of a packet loss concealment algorithm up to a maximum limit described in a standard. This reduces or eliminates need to allocate memory for the history buffer. A history buffer can also be extended to retain an original portion of voice signal packets received prior to a packet loss as well as generated voice signals as they are generated. A scratch buffer is used as a working buffer and replaces the function of a pitch buffer.
