AN APPARATUS GENERATING AND ENCODING LINEAR PREDICTION CODING(LPC) COEFFICIENTS INA LINEAR PREDICTIVE CODER SIGNAL APPARATUS

摘要

A novel and improved method and apparatus for encoding line predictive coding (LPC) data in a speech compression system using line spectral square root values is disclosed. A novel and computationally efficient procedure for determining the set of quantization sensitivities for the line spectral square root values is disclosed, which results in a computationally efficient error measure for use in vector quantization of the line spectral square root values. A novel method of weighting the quantization error is disclosed, which accumulates the quantization error in each line spectral square root value and weights that error by the sensitivity of that line spectral square root value.
