In this Paper. we present a bitrate scalable speech codec which uses an ITU-T G.723.1 as the baseline coder and encodes the synthesis error signal in an enhancement coder. ITU-T P.862 (PESQ) is used to evaluate the Performance of the bitrate scalable coder. Experiments show that 6.7kbps enhancement layer based on G.723.1 5.3kbps produces the increase of 0.39 in MOS and 5.7kbps enhancement layer based on G.723.1 6.3kbps Produces the increase of 0.267 in MOS.

This paper describes implementation of a multi-channel G.723.1 Annex A (G.723.1A) focused on code optimization using a high performance general purpose Digital Signal Processor (DSP), To implement a multi-channel G.723.1A functional complexities of the ITU-T G.723.1A fixed-point C-code are measures an analyzed. Then we sort and optimize C functions in complexity order. In parallel with optimization, we verify the bit-exactness of the optimized code using the ITU-T test vectors. Using only internal memory, the optimized code can perform full-duplex 17 channel processing. In addition, we further increase the number of available channels per DSP into 22 using fast codebook search algorithms, referred to as bit -compatible optimization.

This paper improves the performance of VAD (Voice Activity Detector) in G.723.1 Annex A 6.3kbps/5.3kbps dual rate speech coder, which is developed for Internet Phone and videoconferencing. The VAD decision is based on a three-level energy threshold. We evaluates for processing time, speech quality, and bit rate. The processing time is reduced due to the accuracy of VAD decision on the silence period. On subjective quality test there is almost no difference compared with the G.723.1. In order to measure the bit rate we count the active speech frame (VAD=1) and we can reduce more bit rate as silence periods are shown.

This paper describes the issues associated with the real-time implementation of G.723.1A dual-rate speech coder on a TMS320VC5402 DSP. Firstly, the main features of the G.723.1A speech coder and the procedure involved in the implementation using assembly and C languages are discussed. Various real-time implementation issues such as memory/MIPS tradeoffs are also presented. For fixed-point implementation, we converted the ITU-T fixed-point ANSI C code into TMS320VC5402 code in the bit-exact way through verification using the test vectors. Finally, as the result of implementation, we present the MIPS and memory requirement for the real-time operation.

This paper describes the procedure of implementing a real-time speech codec, G.723.1 which was developed by DSP Group and standardized by ITU-T, using fixed-point DSP, ADSP-2181. This codec has two bit rates associated with it, 5.3 and 6.3 kbit/s. We implemented only one bit rate, 6.3 kbit/s, of the two with fixed-point 32-bit precision. According to the result of the experiment, the amount of computational burden is about 55 MIPS and its quality is similar to the result of the PC simulation with floating-point arithmetic. In this paper, we proposed a method to use a fixed-point DSP and a procedure for developing a real-time speech codec using DSPs and finally developed a G.723.l speech codec for ADSP-2181.

In general, speech coding methods are classified into the following three categories: the waveform coding, the source coding and the hybrid coding. In this paper, First, the reference waveform is detected after searching the pitch period by NAMDF similarity and similarity between the reference waveform and the waveform each pitch period. It made a decision whether the waveform is compressed with the threshold of similarity. If the waveform is compressed only magnitude and pitch information is transmitted into the input of G.723.1 vocoder. Performing through the G.723.1 vocoder, the waveform is restored with the magnitude and pitch information by PSOLA synthesis method. The result of simulation with proposed algorithm has a 31% reduction of bit rate than the standard 5.3kbps G.723.1 ACELP vocoder.

CELP계열의 부호화기인 G.723.1 5.3kbps ACELP를 기반으로 하여 음질을 유지하면서 전송률을 낮출 수 있는 새로운 부호화 방법을 제안한다. 본 논문에서 적용한 부호화 방법은 음성 합성시 파라미터로 사용되는 지속시간 변경에 의해 CELP형 보코더의 전송률을 감소하고자 한다. 먼저 음성을 보코더 입력단에 입력하기 전 지속시간을 FFT 변환 특성을 이용해 음색의 변경 없이 지속시간을 줄임으써 계산시간을 줄이고 진폭과 위상 각각 1/2ⁿ배의 interpolation과 Decimation을 수행하여 부호화한다. 이렇게 부호화된 데이터는 G.723.1 복호화를 거치고, 다시 FFT point의 1/2ⁿ배 point로 IFFT과정을 수행함으로써 스팩트럼의 변경 없이 지속시간을 변경하여 원 음성을 합성하게 된다. G.723.1 보코더를 통과한 후 파형을 복원 실험한 결과 기존의 5.3kbps ACELP보다 46％정도 감소하였다.

Generally the one of serious problems in Voice Activity Detection (VAD) is speech region detection in noise environment. Therefore, this paper propose the new method using energy, lsp varation. As a result of processing time and speech quality of the proposed algorithm, the processing time is reduced due to the accurate detection of inactive period, and there is almot no difference in the subjective quality test. As a result of bit rate, proposed algorithm measures the number of VAD=1 and the result shows predominant reduction of bit rate as SNR of noisy speech is low (about 5∼10 dB).
