Method of encoding and decoding speech signals
First Claim
1. A method for encoding and decoding a speech signal for low speed transmission comprising:
- (a) selecting a speech segment of an input speech signal for encoding;
(b) performing a first linear prediction analysis of the speech segment for encoding, to generate first linear prediction coefficients and a residual signal;
(c) low-pass-filtering the residual signal, utilizing a cut-off frequency of 2 kHz to eliminate a signal components above 2 kHz and produce a low-pass-filtered residual signal;
(d) performing a second linear prediction analysis of the low-pass-filtered residual signal to generate second linear prediction coefficients a pitch value, and an amplitude value;
(e) allocating a number of bits to each of the first and second linear prediction coefficients, the pitch value, and the amplitude value, to produce an output signal for transmission to a receiver;
(f) transmitting the output signal to the receiver; and
(g) generating a baseband signal from the first linear prediction coefficients using the second linear prediction coefficients and restoring the input speech signal using the baseband signal and the first linear prediction coefficients.

Abstract
In a speech codec algorithm for low speed transmission, a first linear prediction analysis is performed for an input speech signal and a second linear prediction analysis is performed for a residual signal generated from the first linear prediction analysis. Low-pass-filtering utilizing a cut-off frequency of 2 kHz is employed to generate second linear prediction coefficients. The second linear prediction coefficients are transmitted to a receiver, together with the first linear prediction coefficients. A baseband signal is generated for the first linear prediction coefficients using the second linear prediction coefficients during reproduction of the speech signal, and the speech signal is restored using the baseband signal and the first linear prediction coefficients. Thus, a high-quality restored tone can be provided with a low-cost digital signal processor.
