Abstract
A hybrid instantaneous/differential encoding technique is described herein that may be used to reduce the bit rate required to encode a pitch period associated with a segment of a speech signal in a manner that will result in relatively little or no degradation of a decoded speech signal generated using the encoded pitch period. The hybrid instantaneous/differential encoding technique is advantageously applicable to any speech codec that encodes a pitch period associated with a segment of a speech signal.
