In the paper, QCELP (qualcomm code excited linear predictive), CDMA (code division multiple access)'s vocoder algorithm, was analyzed. And then, a ptich parameter seaarch architecture for 16-bit programmable DSP(digital signal processor) for QCELP was designed. Because we speed up the parameter search through high speed DSP using two MACs, we can satisfy speech codec specifiction for the digital celluar. Also, we implemented in FIFO(first-in first-out) memory using register file to increase the access time of data. This DSP was designed using COMPASS, ASIC design tool, by top-down design methodology. Therefore, it is possible to cope with rapid change at mobile communication market.

In real time packetized voice applications, missing frames is a major source of voice quality degradation. Thus packet loss concealment(PLC) algorithms are needed to guarantee the QoS of the VoIP. Still current speech codecs for VoIP work poor when consecutive packet losses are issued. In this paper, we proposed a new PLC algorithm for the G.729 codec. Our algorithm works better especially when the consecutive packet loss occurs mainly because it adopts an adaptive gain controller utilizing the number of missing packet information combined with a fixed codebook vector estimation algorithm and LPC bandwidth expansion.

In digital mobile communication system, the transmission errors affect the quality of output speech seriously. There are many error concealment techniques using a posteriori probability which provides information about any transmitted parameter. They need knowledge about channel transition probability as well as the 1st order Markov transition probability of codec parameters for estimation of transmitted parameters. However, in applications of mobile communication systems, the channel transition probability varies depending on nonstationary channel characteristics. The mismatch of designed channel transition probability of the estimator to actual channel transition probability degrades the performance of the estimator. In this paper, we proposed a new parameter estimator which adapts to the channel characteristics using short time average of maximum a posteriori probabilities(MAPs). The proposed scheme, when applied to the LSP parameter estimation, performed better than the conventional estimator which do not adapt to the channel characteristics.

The MPEG-D unified speech and audio coding (USAC) standardization process was initiated by MPEG to develop an audio codec that is able to provide consistent quality for mixed speech and music contents. The current USAC reference model structure consists of frequency domain (FD) and linear prediction domain (LPD) core modules and is controlled using a signal classifier tool. In this letter, we propose an LPD single-mode USAC structure using an adaptive widowing-based transform-coded excitation module. We tested our system using official test items for all mono-evaluation modes. The results of the experiment show that the objective and subjective performances of the proposed single-mode USAC system are better than those of the FD/LPD dual-mode USAC system.

In this paper, we propose a method for coding history detection of digital speech signal. In digital speech communication and storage, the signal is encoded to reduce the number of bits. Therefore, when a speech signal waveform is given, we need to detect its coding history so that we can determine whether the signal is an original or an coded one, and if coded, determine the number of times of coding. In this paper, we propose a coding history detection method for 12.2kbps AMR codec in terms of original, single coding, and double coding. The proposed method extracts a speech-specific feature vector from the given speech, and models the feature vector using a deep neural network. We confirm that the proposed feature vector provides better performance in coding history detection than the feature vector computed from the general spectrogram.

In this research, we selected the speech recognition to implement the electric wheelchair system as a method to control it by only using the speech and used DTW (Dynamic Time Warping), which is speaker-dependent and has a relatively high recognition rate among the speech recognitions. However, it has to have small memory and fast process speed performance under consideration of real-time. Thus, we introduced VQ (Vector Quantization) which is widely used as a compression algorithm of speaker-independent recognition, to secure fast recognition and small memory. However, we found that the recognition rate decreased after using VQ. To improve the recognition rate, we applied ART2 (Adaptive Reason Theory 2) algorithm as a post-process algorithm to obtain about 5% recognition rate improvement. To utilize ART2, we have to apply an error range. In case that the subtraction of the first distance from the second distance for each distance obtained to apply DTW is 20 or more, the error range is applied. Likewise, ART2 was applied and we could obtain fast process and high recognition rate. Moreover, since this system is a moving object, the system should be implemented as an embedded one. Thus, we selected TMS320C32 chip, which can process significantly many calculations relatively fast, to implement the embedded system. Considering that the memory is speech, we used 128kbyte-RAM and 64kbyte ROM to save large amount of data. In case of speech input, we used 16-bit stereo audio codec, securing relatively accurate data through high resolution capacity.

Interoperability is ole the most important factors for a successful integration of the speech network. To accomplish communication between endpoints employing different speech coders, decoder and encoder of each endpoint coder should be placed in tandem. However, tandem coder often produces problems such as poor speech quality, high computational load, and additional transmission delay. In this paper, we propose an efficient transcoding algorithm that can provide interoperability to the networks employing ITU-T G.723.1［1］and TIA IS-127 EVRC［2］speech coders. The proposed transcoding algorithm is composed of four parts: LSP conversion, open-loop pitch conversion, fast adaptive codebook search, and fast fixed codebook search. Subjective and objective quality evaluation confirmed that the speech quality produced by the proposed transcoding algorithm was equivalent to, or better than the tandem coding, while it had shorter processing delay and less computational complexity, which is certified implementing on TMS320C62x.
