Abstract
A voice encoding/decoding method and apparatus. A voice encoder includes: a quantization selection unit generating a quantization selection signal; and a quantization unit extracting a linear prediction coding (LPC) coefficient from an input signal, converting the extracted LPC coefficient into a line spectral frequency (LSF), quantizing the LSF with a first LSF quantization unit or a second LSF quantization unit based on the quantization selection signal, and converting the quantized LSF into a quantized LPC coefficient. The quantization selection signal selects the first LSF quantization unit or second LSF quantization unit based on characteristics of a synthesized voice signal in previous frames of the input signal.
