Abstract

Efficient quantization methods of the line spectrum pairs (LSP) which have good performances, low complexity and memory are proposed. The adaptive quantization range method utilizing the ordering property of LSP parameters is used in a scalar quantizer and a vector-scalar hybrid quantizer. As the maximum quantization range of each LSP parameter is varied adaptively on the quantized value of the previous order's LSP parameter, efficient quantization methods can be obtained. The proposed scalar quantization algorithm needs 31 bits/frame, which is 3 bits less per frame than in the conventional scalar quantization method with interframe prediction to maintain the transparent quality of speech. The improved vector-scalar quantizer achieves an average spectral distortion of 1 dB using 26 bits/frame. The performances of proposed quantization methods are also evaluated in the transmission errors.
