Fig. 1 a shows the block scheme according to the wideband speech coding device A100 of an embodiment.Bank of filters A110 is configured to broadband voice signal S10 is carried out filtering to produce narrow-band signal S20 and high-frequency band signals S30.Narrowband encoder A120 is configured to encode narrow-band signal S20 to produce narrow-band (NB) filter parameter S40 and narrow-band residual signal S50.Describe in further detail as this paper, narrowband encoder A120 is configured to as codebook index usually or takes another quantized versions and produce narrow band filter parameter S 40 and encoded narrow-band pumping signal S50.High band encoder A200 is configured to according to the coding of the information among encoded narrow-band pumping signal S50 high-frequency band signals S30 to produce high frequency band coding parameter S60.Describe in further detail as this paper, high band encoder A200 is configured to as codebook index usually or takes another quantized versions and produce high frequency band coding parameter S60.The particular instance of wideband speech coding device A100 is configured to coding broadband voice signal S10 under the speed of about 8.55kbps (kbps), wherein about 7.55kbps is used for narrow band filter parameter S 40 and encoded narrow-band pumping signal S50, and about 1kbps is used for high frequency band coding parameter S60.
May need encoded narrow-band and high-frequency band signals are combined as single bit stream.For instance, may need encoded signal multiplexed together to be used for transmission (for example, on wired, optics or wireless transmission channel) as encoded broadband voice signal or to be used for storage.Fig. 1 b shows the block scheme of the embodiment A102 of wideband speech coding device A100, wideband speech coding device A100 comprises multiplexer A130, and it is configured to narrow band filter parameter S 40, encoded narrow-band pumping signal S50 and high band filter parameter S 60 are combined as multiplex signal S70.
A kind of equipment that comprises scrambler A102 also can comprise and is configured to multiplex signal S70 is transferred to circuit in the transmission channel of for example wired, optics or wireless channel.This equipment also can be configured to signal is carried out one or more chnnel coding operations, for example error correction code (for example, the rate-compatible convolutional encoding) and/or error detection code (for example, cyclic redundancy code), and/or one or more layers procotol coding (for example, Ethernet, TCP/IP, cdma2000).
May need multiplexer A130 to be configured to embed encoded narrow-band signal (comprising narrow band filter parameter S 40 and encoded narrow-band pumping signal S50) as separable multiplex signal S70 tributary, making encoded narrow-band signal can be independent of another part of multiplex signal S70 (for example, high frequency band and/or low band signal) is resumed and decodes.For instance, multiplex signal S70 can be configured and make encoded narrow-band signal to recover by divesting high band filter parameter S 60.A potential advantage of this feature is to avoid needing described encoded broadband signal is carried out code conversion before the system of decoding of highband part encoded broadband signal being delivered to the decoding of supporting narrow-band signal but not supporting.
Fig. 2 a shows the block scheme according to the broadband Voice decoder B100 of an embodiment.Narrow-band demoder B110 is configured to decode narrow band filter parameter S 40 and encoded narrow-band pumping signal S50 to produce narrow-band signal S90.High band decoder B200 is configured to according to the high frequency band coding parameter S60 that decodes based on the narrow-band pumping signal S80 of encoded narrow-band pumping signal S50, to produce high-frequency band signals S100.In this example, narrow-band demoder B110 is configured to narrow-band pumping signal S80 is provided to high band decoder B200.Bank of filters B120 is configured to narrow-band signal S90 and high-frequency band signals S100 are made up to produce broadband voice signal S110.
Fig. 2 b is the block scheme of the embodiment B102 of broadband Voice decoder B100, and broadband Voice decoder B100 comprises demultiplexer B130, and it is configured to produce encoded signal S40, S50 and S60 from multiplex signal S70.A kind of equipment that comprises demoder B102 can comprise the circuit that is configured to receive from the transmission channel of for example wired, optics or wireless channel multiplex signal S70.This equipment also can be configured to signal is carried out one or more channel-decoding operations, for example the error correction decoding (for example, the rate-compatible convolution decoder) and/or error-detecting decoding (for example, the cyclic redundancy decoding), and/or one or more layers procotol decoding (for example, Ethernet, TCP/IP, cdma2000).
Bank of filters A110 is configured to according to division frequency band scheme input signal be carried out filtering to produce low frequency sub-band and high-frequency sub-band.Design standards on application-specific is decided, and it is overlapping or not overlapping that the output sub-band can have the bandwidth and the possibility that equate or do not wait.The bank of filters A110 configuration that produces two above sub-bands also is possible.For instance, this bank of filters can be configured to produce one or more low band signal, and described low band signal comprises the following interior component of frequency range (for example scope of 50-300Hz) of frequency range that is in narrow-band signal S20.This bank of filters also may be configured to produce one or more extra high-frequency band signals, and described extra high-frequency band signals comprises the above interior component of frequency range (for example scope of 14-20,16-20 or 16-32kHz) of frequency range that is in high-frequency band signals S30.In the case, can implement wideband speech coding device A100 with this signal of independent coding (one or more), and multiplexer A130 can be configured to extra encoded signal (one or more) is included in (for example, as removable part) among the multiplex signal S70.
Fig. 3 a shows the block scheme of the embodiment A112 of bank of filters A110, and bank of filters A110 is configured to produce two sub-frequency bands signals with the sampling rate that reduces.Bank of filters A110 is configured to receive the broadband voice signal S10 with high-frequency (or high frequency band) part and low frequency (or low-frequency band) part.Bank of filters A112 comprises the high frequency band processing path that is configured to receive broadband voice signal S10 and produces the low-frequency band processing path of narrow-band voice signal S20 and be configured to receive broadband voice signal S10 and produce high frequency band voice signal S30.110 pairs of broadband voice signals of low-pass filter S10 carries out filtering with the low frequency sub-band by selecting, and 130 pairs of broadband voice signals of Hi-pass filter S10 carries out filtering with the high-frequency sub-band by selecting.Because the bandwidth ratio broadband voice signal S10 of two sub-frequency bands signals is narrow,, its sampling rate do not have information loss so can reducing to a certain extent.Downsampled device 120 (is for example selected factor according to required, sample by removing signal and/or replace sample with mean value) reduce the sampling rate of low-pass signal, and downsampled device 140 similarly required is selected the sampling rate that factor reduces high communication number according to another.
Fig. 3 b shows the block scheme of the corresponding embodiment B122 of bank of filters B120.Upwards sampler 150 (for example, fill in and/or pass through reproduction copies by zero) increases the sampling rate of narrow-band signal S90, and 160 pairs of low-pass filters upwards sampled signal carry out filtering with only by low-frequency band part (for example, to prevent aliasing).Equally, upwards sampler 170 increases the sampling rate of high-frequency band signals S100, and 180 pairs of Hi-pass filters upwards sampled signal carry out filtering only to pass through highband part.Then, two passband signals are sued for peace to form broadband voice signal S110.In some embodiments of demoder B100, bank of filters B120 is configured to produce according to one or more flexible strategy that received and/or calculated by high band decoder B200 the weighted sum of two passband signals.Also expect the bank of filters B120 of two above passband signal combination configuration.
Each be embodied as finite impulse response (FIR) (FIR) wave filter of wave filter 110,130,160,180 or be embodied as infinite impulse response (IIR) wave filter.Encoder filters 110 and 130 frequency response can have the symmetry between stopband and the passband or the limited proportionality of dissimilar shape.Equally, demoder wave filter 160 and 180 frequency response can have the symmetry between stopband and the passband or the limited proportionality of dissimilar shape.May need (but not being that strictness is necessary) low-pass filter 110 and low-pass filter 160 to have same response, and Hi-pass filter 130 have same response with Hi-pass filter 180.In an example, two wave filters are quadrature mirror filter (QMF) groups to 110,130 and 160,1 80, its median filter to 110,130 and wave filter have same factor to 160,180.
In representative instance, low-pass filter 110 has the passband (for example, 0 to 4kHz frequency band) of the limited PSTN scope that comprises 300-3400Hz.The relative bandwidth of broadband voice signal S10, narrow-band signal S20 and high-frequency band signals S30 in two different embodiments of Fig. 4 a and 4b displaying.In these two particular instances, broadband voice signal S10 has the sampling rate (expression 0 is to the interior frequency component of 8kHz scope) of 16kHz, and narrow-band signal S20 has the sampling rate (frequency component that expression 0 is arrived in the 4kHz scope) of 8kHz.
In the example of Fig. 4 a, do not exist obviously overlapping between two sub-frequency bands.High-frequency band signals S30 shown in this example can obtain by the Hi-pass filter 130 that use has the passband of 4-8kHz.In the case, may need through filtering signal sampling rate to be reduced to 8kHz by being that factor is downsampled with 2.Can expect that this operation can significantly reduce the computational complexity to the further processing operation of signal, this operation will move down into the passband energy does not have information loss in 0 to the 4kHz scope.
In the alternate example of Fig. 4 b, the upper and lower sub-band has obviously overlapping, makes two sub-frequency bands signals all describe 3.5 to 4kHz zone.High-frequency band signals S30 in this example can obtain by the Hi-pass filter 130 that use has the passband of 3.5-7kHz.In the case, may need through filtering signal sampling rate to be reduced to 7kHz by being that factor is downsampled with 16/7.Can expect that this operation can significantly reduce the computational complexity to the further processing operation of signal, this operation will move down into the passband energy does not have information loss in 0 to the 3.5kHz scope.
In the call type code communication handset, the obvious response on the frequency range of one or more transducers (that is, microphone and earphone or loudspeaker) shortage 7-8kHz.In the example of Fig. 4 b, broadband voice signal S10 be in 7 and 8kHz between part be not included in the encoded signal.Other particular instance of Hi-pass filter 130 has the passband of 3.5-7.5kHz and 3.5-8kHz.
In some embodiments, as in the example of Fig. 4 b, providing overlapping permission to use low pass and/or the Hi-pass filter that on the overlay region, has level and smooth decay between the sub-band.This type of wave filter with have sharply or the wave filter of " brickwall (brick-wall) " response is compared, more easily design usually, not too complicated in the calculating, and/or the delay that causes is less.Wave filter with drastic shift district often has higher secondary lobe (this may cause aliasing) than the wave filter of the similar grade with level and smooth decay.Wave filter with drastic shift district also may have long impulse response, and this may cause the ring illusion.For bank of filters embodiment with one or more iir filters, allow the level and smooth decay on the overlay region can make it possible to use limit away from the wave filter (one or more) of unit circle, this is for guaranteeing that stable fixed point embodiment may be more important.
The overlapping permission low-frequency band of sub-band is mixed with the level and smooth of high frequency band, and this can cause the less illusion of hearing, reduces aliasing, and/or make a frequency band not too obvious to the transformation of another frequency band.In addition, the code efficiency of narrowband encoder A120 (for example, wave coder) can increase along with frequency is continuous and descend.For instance, may under low bitrate, especially there be the coding quality that reduces narrowband encoder under the situation of ground unrest.Under this type of situation, provide sub-band the overlapping quality that improves the frequency component of duplicating in the overlay region.
In addition, the overlapping permission low-frequency band of sub-band is mixed with the level and smooth of high frequency band, and it may cause the less illusion of hearing, reduces aliasing, and/or make a frequency band not too obvious to the transformation of another frequency band.This feature may especially cater to the need according to the embodiment of different coding method operation for narrowband encoder A120 and high band encoder A200.For instance, the different coding technology can produce the signal that sounds very different.Scrambler with codebook index form coding spectrum envelope can produce the signal with sound different with the scrambler that changes the coding amplitude spectrum into.Time domain coding device (for example, pulse-code modulated or PCM encoder) can produce the signal with sound different with the Frequency Domain Coding device.With the scrambler of the representation coded signal of spectrum envelope and corresponding residual signal can produce have with only with the signal of the different sound of the scrambler of spectrum envelope representation coded signal.Signal encoding can be produced the output that has with from the different sound of the output of sinusoidal coder for the scrambler of the representation of its waveform.Under this type of situation, use wave filter to define in the broadband signal that non-overlapped sub-band may cause synthesizing the transformation between the sub-band more suddenly and sensuously more obvious with drastic shift district.
Have the QMF bank of filters of complementary overlapping frequency response although use usually in the sub-band technology, this type of wave filter is unsuitable at least some embodiments in the broadband coding embodiment described herein.The QMF bank of filters at scrambler place is configured to produce aliasing largely, in the described corresponding QMF bank of filters that is aliasing in the demoder place by cancellation.This configuration may be unsuitable for the application that signal causes a large amount of distortions between the bank of filters, because distortion can reduce the effectiveness of aliasing cancellation property.For instance, application described herein comprises be configured to the coding embodiment of operating under low-down bit rate.Because bit rate is very low, be rendered as obvious distortion so compare with original signal probably through decoded signal, make the use of QMF bank of filters can cause the aliasing of not cancellation.Use the application of QMF bank of filters to have high bit speed (for example, surpass 12kbps, and for G.722 surpassing 64kbps) usually for AMR.
In addition, scrambler can be configured to be similar to original signal on the sensigenous but the composite signal that in fact significantly is different from original signal.For instance, the scrambler of deriving high band excitation as described herein from narrow-band is residual can produce this signal, because may not exist actual high frequency band residual fully in decoded signal.The distortion largely of in this type of is used, using the QMF bank of filters can cause the aliasing by not cancellation to cause.
If the affected children frequency band is narrower, can reduce the amount distortion that the QMF aliasing causes so, because the influence of aliasing is limited to the bandwidth that equates with the sub-band width.Yet, comprising half the example of pact of broadband bandwidth for wherein each sub-band described herein, the distortion that is caused by the aliasing of not cancellation may influence the major part of signal.The position influence of frequency band of the aliasing of not cancellation above also may being subjected to, quality of signals takes place.For instance, near the broadband voice signal center (for example, 3 and 4kHz between) distortion of producing may be much more harmful than near the distortion that (for example, more than the 6kHz) signal edge takes place.
Though the response of the wave filter of QMF bank of filters is strict relevant each other, the low-frequency band of bank of filters A110 and B120 and high frequency band path can be configured to have complete incoherent frequency spectrum except that two sub-frequency bands overlapping.We with the overlay defining of two sub-frequency bands be the frequency response of high band filter drop to-frequency response of the some tremendously low frequency band filter of 20dB drops to-distance of the point of 20dB.In the various examples of bank of filters A110 and/or B120, this overlapping scope arrives about 1kHz for about 200Hz.But about 400 to about 600Hz scope presentation code efficient and the desired trade-off between the perception smoothness.In a particular instance mentioned above, overlap near the 500Hz.
May need to implement the next operation that in some stage execution graph 4a and 4b, illustrates of bank of filters A112 and/or B122.For instance, Fig. 4 c shows the block scheme of the embodiment A114 of bank of filters A112, and embodiment A114 uses a series of interpolations, takes a sample, selects with other and operate high-pass filtering and the downsampled operation of carrying out function equivalent.This type of embodiment can more easily design and/maybe can allow to re-use the functional block of logic and/or code.For instance, can use the identical function piece carry out shown in Fig. 4 c to 14kHz select and to the operation of selecting of 7kHz.Can pass through signal and function e Jn πOr sequence (1) nMultiply each other and implement reversing spectrum operation, described sequence (1) nValue between+1 and-1 alternately.The spectrum shaping operation can be embodied as and be configured so that thereby signal shaping obtains the low-pass filter of required overall filter response.
Notice, since the cause of reversing spectrum operation, the reversing spectrum of high-frequency band signals S30.The correspondingly subsequent operation in configuration codes device and the respective decoder.For instance, high band excitation generator A300 described herein can be configured to produce the high band excitation signal S120 that has the reversing spectrum form equally.
Fig. 4 d shows the block scheme of the embodiment B124 of bank of filters B122, and bank of filters B122 uses a series of interpolations, sampling and other are operated upwards sampling and the high-pass filtering operation of carrying out function equivalent again.Bank of filters B124 comprises the reversing spectrum operation in the high frequency band, and it makes and the middle similar operation counter-rotating of carrying out of the bank of filters (for example, bank of filters A114) of for example scrambler.In this particular instance, bank of filters B124 also comprises the notch filter in low-frequency band and the high frequency band, and it weakens the component of signal at 7100Hz place, but this type of wave filter be choose wantonly and do not need to comprise this type of wave filter.Together the attorney docket of application is that 050551 patent application case " SYSTEMS; METHODS; ANDAPPARATUS FOR SPEECH SIGNAL FILTERING " comprises about the additional description of the response of the element of the particular of bank of filters A110 and B120 and graphic therewith, and this material is incorporated into by reference at this.
Narrowband encoder A120 implements according to source-filter model, and it is encoded to input speech signal the pumping signal that (A) a group describes the parameter of wave filter and (B) drive the synthetic duplicate of described wave filter generation input speech signal.Fig. 5 a shows the example of the spectrum envelope of voice signal.The peak value that shows the feature of this spectrum envelope is represented the resonance of voice range and is called resonance peak.Most of speech coders to this rough spectrum structured coding of major general is one group of parameter (for example a, filter coefficient).
Fig. 5 b shows the example as the elementary sources-filter configuration of the coding of the spectrum envelope that is applied to narrow-band signal S20.Analysis module calculates one group of parameter describing corresponding to the wave filter of the speech sound in a period of time (common 20 milliseconds).Prewhitening filter (be also referred to as and analyze or prediction error filter) according to those filter parameter configurations is removed spectrum envelope signal is carried out the frequency spectrum leveling.The whitened signal of gained (being also referred to as residual) is compared with primary speech signal, has less energy and therefore change less and be easy to encode.Because the error that the residual signal coding is caused also may be dispersed on the frequency spectrum more equably.Filter parameter and residual common through quantizing to be used for effectively transmission on channel.At the demoder place, according to the composite filter of filter parameter configuration by based on residual signal excitation to produce the synthetic version of raw tone sound.Composite filter is configured to have transfer function usually, and described transfer function is the inverted versions of the transfer function of prewhitening filter.
Fig. 6 shows the block scheme of the basic embodiment A122 of narrowband encoder A120.In this example, linear predictive coding (LPC) analysis module 210 spectrum envelopes with narrow-band signal S20 are encoded to one group of linear prediction (LP) coefficient (for example, the coefficient 1/A (z) of full utmost point wave filter).Analysis module is treated to input signal a series of non-overlapped frames usually, wherein calculates one group of new coefficient for each frame.Frame period normally can expect the cycle that signal is static in this locality; A common example is 20 milliseconds (being equivalent to following 160 samples of sampling rate of 8kHz).In an example, lpc analysis module 210 is configured to calculate one group of 10 LP filter coefficient to describe the resonance peak structure of each 20 milliseconds of frame.Also may implement analysis module input signal is treated to a series of overlapping frame.
Analysis module can be configured to directly analyze the sample of each frame, perhaps can at first be weighted sample according to window function (for example, Hamming window).Also can go up execution analysis at window (for example, 30 milliseconds of windows) greater than frame.This window can symmetry (5-20-5 for example makes it comprise and then before 20 milliseconds of frames and afterwards 5 milliseconds) or asymmetric (10-20 for example makes it comprise last 10 milliseconds of previous frame).The lpc analysis module is configured to use Levinson-Durbin recursion or Leroux-Gueguen algorithm computation LP filter coefficient usually.In another embodiment, analysis module can be configured to calculate one group of cepstrum coefficient rather than one group of LP filter coefficient of each frame.
The output speed of scrambler A120 can significantly reduce by quantizing filter coefficient, and less relatively to the influence of reproduction quality.Coefficient of linear prediction wave filter is difficult to effective quantification, and is mapped as another representation usually, and for example line spectrum pair (LSP) or line spectral frequencies (LSF) quantize and/or entropy coding being used for.In the example of Fig. 6, LP filter coefficient-LSF conversion 220 is transformed to one group of corresponding LSF with described group of LP filter coefficient.Other of LP filter coefficient representation one to one comprises partial autocorrelation coefficient, log area ratio value, adpedance and composes (ISP) and adpedance spectral frequency (ISF), and it is used for GSM (global system for mobile communications) AMR-WB (the how fast broadband of self-adaptation) coder.Usually, the conversion between one group of LP filter coefficient and the one group of corresponding LSF is reversible, but embodiment also comprises can not be under the error free situation reversible scrambler A120 embodiment of conversion.
Quantizer 230 is configured to quantize described group of narrow-band LSF (or other coefficient representation), and narrowband encoder A122 is configured to export the result of this quantification as narrow band filter parameter S 40.This quantizer comprises vector quantizer usually, and it is encoded to input vector for the index of corresponding vectorial clauses and subclauses in table or the code book.
As shown in Figure 6, narrowband encoder A122 is also by making narrow-band signal S20 produce residual signal by the prewhitening filter 260 (be also referred to as and analyze or prediction error filter) according to described group of filter coefficient configuration.In this particular instance, prewhitening filter 260 is embodied as the FIR wave filter, but also can use the IIR embodiment.This residual signal will contain the sensuously more important speech frame information of not representing in the narrow band filter parameter S 40, for example relevant with tone long-term structure usually.Quantizer 270 is configured to calculate the quantization means form of this residual signal to export as encoded narrow-band pumping signal S50.This quantizer comprises vector quantizer usually, and it is encoded to input vector for the index of corresponding vectorial clauses and subclauses in table or the code book.Perhaps, this quantizer can be configured to send one or more parameters, can dynamically produce vector at the demoder place from described parameter, rather than retrieve vector as in the sparse code book method from memory storage.The method is used for the encoding scheme of algebraically CELP (code book Excited Linear Prediction) for example and the coder of for example 3GPP2 (third generation partnership relation 2) EVRC (strengthening the variable bit rate coder).
Need narrowband encoder A120 to produce encoded narrow-band pumping signal according to the same filter parameter value that will can be used for corresponding narrow-band demoder.In this way, the encoded narrow-band pumping signal of gained may be considered the undesirable property of those parameter values, for example quantization error to a certain extent.Therefore, need to use and to dispose prewhitening filter by available same tie numerical value at the demoder place.In the basic example of as shown in Figure 6 scrambler A122,240 pairs of narrow-band coding parameters of quantizer S40 de-quantization, the conversion 250 of LSF-LP filter coefficient is shone upon back one group of corresponding LP filter coefficient with income value, and this group coefficient is used to dispose prewhitening filter 260 to produce the residual signal that is quantized by quantizer 270.
Some embodiments of narrowband encoder A120 are configured to calculate encoded narrow-band pumping signal S50 by a vector that identifies with the residual signal optimum matching from one group of code book vector.Yet, notice that narrowband encoder A120 also can be through implementing in fact not produce residual signal with the quantization means form of calculating residual signal.For instance, narrowband encoder A120 can be configured to use many code book vectors (for example to produce corresponding composite signal, according to one group of current filter parameter), and in selection and the perceptual weighting territory and the code book vector that joins of institute's signal correction that produces of original narrow-band signal S20 optimum matching.
Fig. 7 shows the block scheme of the embodiment B112 of narrow-band demoder B110.310 pairs of narrow band filter parameter S 40 de-quantizations of quantizer (in the case, de-quantization is one group of LSF), and the conversion 320 of LSF-LP filter coefficient is transformed to one group of filter coefficient (for example, describing with reference to quantizer 240 and the conversion 250 of narrowband encoder A122 as mentioned) with LSF.340 pairs of narrow-band residual signals of quantizer S40 de-quantization is to produce narrow-band pumping signal S80.Based on filter coefficient and narrow-band pumping signal S80, narrow-band composite filter 330 synthesis of narrow band signal S90.In other words, narrow-band composite filter 330 is configured to according to the de-quantization filter coefficient narrow-band pumping signal S80 be carried out spectrum shaping, to produce narrow-band signal S90.Narrow-band demoder B112 also is provided to high band encoder A200 with narrow-band pumping signal S80, and high band encoder A200 uses narrow-band pumping signal S80 to derive high band excitation signal S120, as described herein.In some embodiments of Miao Shuing, narrow-band demoder B110 can be configured to the extraneous information relevant with narrow-band signal (for example, spectral tilt, pitch gain and hysteresis, and speech pattern) is provided to high band decoder B200 hereinafter.
The system of narrowband encoder A122 and narrow-band demoder B112 is the basic example of synthesis analysis speech coder and decoder device.Code book Excited Linear Prediction (CELP) coding is the general series of of synthesis analysis coding, and the embodiment of this type of scrambler can be carried out residual waveform coding, wherein comprises for example selector bar purpose operation from fixing and self-adaptation code book, error minimize operation and/or perceptual weighting operation.Other embodiment of synthesis analysis coding comprises MELP (Mixed Excitation Linear Prediction) (MELP), algebraically CELP (ACELP), lax CELP (RCELP), Regular-Pulse Excitation (RPE), multiple-pulse CELP (MPE) and vector sum Excited Linear Prediction (VSELP) coding.The correlative coding method comprises multi-band excitation (MBE) and prototype waveform interpolation (PWI) coding.The example of standard synthesis analysis speech coder and decoder device comprises ETSI (ETSI) the GSM full rate coder (GSM06.10) that uses residual excited linear predictive (RELP), GSM EFR coder (ETSI-GSM 06.60), ITU (International Telecommunications Union (ITU)) standard the 11.8kb/s G.729 IS of Annex E scrambler, IS-136 (interim standard) 641 coders (time division multiple access (TDMA) scheme), GSM adaptive multi-rate (GSM-AMR) coder, and 4GV TM(the 4th generation Vocoder TM) coder (Qualcomm of California Diego California (QUALCOMM Incorporated, San Diego, CA)).Narrowband encoder A120 and corresponding demoder B110 can implement according to any one or any other speech coding technology in these technology (known or leaved for development), and described speech coding technology is expressed as voice signal the pumping signal that (A) a group describes the parameter of wave filter and (B) be used to drive described wave filter reproduction speech signal.
Even prewhitening filter is removed rough spectrum envelope from narrow-band signal S20 after, also may keep quite a large amount of meticulous harmonic structure (especially for turbid voice).The spectrum curve of an example of the residual signal (as producing) of Fig. 8 a displaying voiced sound signal (for example, vowel) by prewhitening filter.Visible periodic structure is relevant with tone in this example, and the different voiced sounds that send of same speaker may have different resonance peak structure but have similar tone structure.Fig. 8 b shows the time-domain curve of the example of this residual signal, and it shows the time series of tone pulses.
Can increase code efficiency and/or voice quality by the characteristic of using one or more parameter value coding tone structures.The frequency (being also referred to as fundamental frequency) that a key property of tone structure is a first harmonic, it arrives in the 400Hz scope 60 usually.This characteristic is encoded to the inverted versions of fundamental frequency usually, is also referred to as pitch lag (pitch lag).The number of sample in pitch period of pitch lag indication, and may be encoded as one or more codebook index.Voice signal from male speaker often recently has bigger pitch lag from women speaker's voice signal.
Another characteristics of signals relevant with the tone structure is periodically, the intensity of its indication harmonic structure, or in other words, signal is harmonic wave or non-harmonic degree.Periodic two typical designators are zero crossing and normalized autocorrelation function (NACF).Periodically also can be indicated by pitch gain, described pitch gain is encoded to code book gain (for example, quantizing the gain of self-adaptation code book) usually.
Narrowband encoder A120 can comprise one or more modules of the long-term harmonic structure of the narrow-band signal S20 that is configured to encode.As shown in Figure 9, a spendable typical CELP example comprises open loop lpc analysis module, and its coding short-term characteristic or rough spectrum envelope are the closed type loop long-term forecasting analysis phase afterwards, described stage coding fine pitch or harmonic structure.Short-term characteristic is encoded to filter coefficient, and long-time quality is encoded to for example value of the parameter of pitch lag and pitch gain.For instance, narrowband encoder A120 can be configured so that export encoded narrow-band pumping signal S50 with the form that comprises one or more codebook index (for example, this index of fixed password and self-adaptation codebook index) and corresponding yield value.The calculating of this quantization means form of narrow-band residual signal (for example, by quantizer 270) can comprise to be selected these index and calculates these values.The coding of tone structure also can comprise interpolation pitch prototype waveform, and described operation can comprise calculates poor between the continuous tone pulse.Can be at the modeling of forbidding long-term structure corresponding to the frame of clear voice (it is similar to noise and not systematization usually).
Embodiment according to the narrow-band demoder B110 of example shown in Figure 9 can be configured to after long-term structure (tone or harmonic structure) has been recovered narrow-band pumping signal S80 be outputed to high band decoder B200.For instance, this demoder can be configured to export the de-quantization version of narrow-band pumping signal S80 as encoded narrow-band pumping signal S50.Certainly, also may implement narrow-band demoder B110, make high band decoder B200 carry out the de-quantization of encoded narrow-band pumping signal S50 to obtain narrow-band pumping signal S80.
In the embodiment according to the wideband speech coding device A100 of example shown in Figure 9, high band encoder A200 can be configured to receive the narrow-band pumping signal that is produced by short run analysis or prewhitening filter.In other words, narrowband encoder A120 can be configured to before the long-term structure of coding the narrow-band pumping signal be outputed to high band encoder A200.Yet high band encoder A200 need receive from narrow-band channel will be by the same-code information of high band decoder B200 reception, and the coding parameter that makes high band encoder A200 produce may be considered the undesirable property of described information to a certain extent.Therefore, may be preferably, high band encoder A200 is from treating the identical parametersization of being exported by wideband speech coding device A100 and/or quantizing to rebuild the encoded narrow-band pumping signal S50 narrow-band pumping signal S80.A potential advantage of the method is to calculate high frequency band gain factor S60b described below more exactly.
Except the parameter of the short-term of describing narrow-band signal S20 and/or long-term structure, narrowband encoder A120 also can produce the parameter value relevant with other characteristic of narrow-band signal S20.These values (it may quantize to be exported by wideband speech coding device A100 through suitable) can be included in the narrow band filter parameter S 40 or output separately.High band encoder A200 also can be configured to calculate high frequency band coding parameter S60 according to one or more (for example, after the de-quantization) in these additional parameter.At broadband Voice decoder B100 place, high band decoder B200 can be configured to receive parameter value via narrow-band demoder B110 (for example, after the de-quantization).Perhaps, high band decoder B200 can be configured to direct reception (and may be used for de-quantization) parameter value.
In an example of additional narrow frequencyband coding parameter, narrowband encoder A120 produces the spectral tilt of each frame and the value of speech pattern parameter.The shape of spectrum envelope is relevant on spectral tilt and the passband, and represents by quantizing first reflection coefficient usually.For most of voiced sounds, spectrum energy reduces along with the continuous increase of frequency, makes the reflection coefficient of winning for negative and can approaching-1.Most of voicelesss sound have smooth frequency spectrum, thereby make the reflection coefficient of winning near zero, perhaps have more energy under high-frequency, thereby make the reflection coefficient of winning for just and can approaching+1.
Speech pattern (being also referred to as the sounding pattern) indication present frame represents that turbid voice still are clear voice.This parameter can have binary value, and it is based on the voice activity (for example, the relation between this index and the threshold value) of periodic one or more indexs (for example, zero crossing, NACF, pitch gain) and/or frame.In other embodiments, the speech pattern parameter has one or more other states to indicate the pattern of the transformation between for example noiseless or ground unrest or the noiseless and turbid voice.
High band encoder A200 is configured to according to source-filter model high-frequency band signals S30 that encodes, and wherein the excitation of this wave filter is based on encoded narrow-band pumping signal.Figure 10 shows the block scheme of the embodiment A202 of high band encoder A200, and high band encoder A200 is configured to produce the high frequency band coding parameter S60 stream that comprises high band filter parameter S 60a and high frequency band gain factor S60b.High band excitation generator A300 derives high band excitation signal S120 from encoded narrow-band pumping signal S50.Analysis module A210 produces one group of parameter value of the spectrum envelope of describing high-frequency band signals S30.In this particular instance, analysis module A210 is configured to carry out lpc analysis so that produce one group of LP filter coefficient for each frame of high-frequency band signals S30.Coefficient of linear prediction wave filter-LSF conversion 410 is transformed to one group of corresponding LSF with described group of LP filter coefficient.Described with reference to analysis module 210 and conversion 220 as mentioned, analysis module A210 and/or conversion 410 can be configured to use other coefficient sets (for example, cepstrum coefficient) and/or the coefficient representation (for example, ISP).
Quantizer 420 is configured to quantize described group of high frequency band LSF (or other coefficient representation, for example ISP), and high band encoder A202 is configured to export the result of this quantification as high band filter parameter S 60a.This quantizer comprises vector quantizer usually, and it is encoded to input vector for the index of corresponding vectorial clauses and subclauses in table or the code book.
High band encoder A202 also comprises composite filter A220, and its high band excitation signal S120 and encoded spectrum envelope (for example, described group of LP filter coefficient) that is configured to produce according to analysis module A210 produces synthetic high-frequency band signals S130.Composite filter A220 is embodied as iir filter usually, but also can use the FIR embodiment.In particular instance, composite filter A220 is embodied as the sextic autoregressive filter.
It is poor that high frequency band gain factor counter A230 calculates between the level of original high-frequency band signals S30 and synthetic high-frequency band signals S130 one or more, with the gain envelope of designated frame.Quantizer 430 can be embodied as input vector is encoded to the vector quantizer of index for the corresponding vectorial clauses and subclauses in table or the code book, it quantizes to specify the value (one or more) of gain envelope, and high band encoder A202 is configured to export the result of this quantification as high frequency band gain factor S60b.
In embodiment as shown in figure 10, composite filter A220 is configured to from analysis module A210 receiving filter coefficient.The alternate embodiment of high band encoder A202 comprises quantizer and inverse transform, it is configured to decoding filter coefficient from high band filter parameter S 60a, and composite filter A220 is configured to change into reception through the decoding filter coefficient in the case.This alternative arrangements can be supported the calculated gains envelope more exactly by high frequency band gain calculator A230.
In a particular instance, the respectively every frame output hexad LSF of analysis module A210 and high frequency band gain calculator A230 and one group of five yield value, the feasible broadband extension that can only realize narrow-band signal S20 with 11 bonus values of every frame.Ear is often more insensitive for the frequency error under the high-frequency, thereby the high frequency band of low LPC level coding can produce the signal with the perceived quality that can compare with the narrow-band coding of higher LPC level.The typical embodiments of high band encoder A200 can be configured to 8 to 12 high-quality that are used for spectrum envelope of every frame output and rebuild, and every frame is exported other 8 to 12 high-quality reconstructions that are used for temporal envelope.In another particular instance, the every frame of analysis module A210 is exported one group of eight LSF.
Some embodiments of high band encoder A200 are configured to produce high band excitation signal S120 in the following manner: produce the random noise signal with high-band frequency component, and according to the temporal envelope of narrow-band signal S20, narrow-band pumping signal S80 or high-frequency band signals S30 noise signal is carried out which amplitude modulation.Though this method based on noise can produce suitable result for voiceless sound, yet it may be undesirable for voiced sound, and the residual of voiced sound is generally harmonic wave and therefore has certain periodic structure.
High band excitation generator A300 is configured to extend to by the frequency spectrum with narrow-band pumping signal S80 and produces high band excitation signal S120 in the high-band frequency range.Figure 11 shows the block scheme of the embodiment A302 of high band excitation generator A300.Quantizer 450 is configured to the encoded narrow-band pumping signal of de-quantization S50 to produce narrow-band pumping signal S80.Frequency spectrum stretcher A400 is configured to produce harmonic wave based on narrow-band pumping signal S80 and extends signal S160.Combiner 470 is configured to the temporal envelope of the random noise signal of noise generator 480 generations and 460 calculating of envelope counter is made up to produce through zoop signal S170.Combiner 490 is configured to harmonic wave is extended signal S60 and mixes through zoop signal S170 to produce high band excitation signal S120.
In an example, frequency spectrum stretcher A400 is configured to narrow-band pumping signal S80 is carried out spectrum folding operation (being also referred to as mirror) to produce harmonic wave extension signal S160.Spectrum folding can be filled in pumping signal S80 execution and then use Hi-pass filter and keep false signal by zero.In another example, frequency spectrum stretcher A400 is configured to produce harmonic wave extension signal S160 by narrow-band pumping signal S80 frequency spectrum being translated to (for example, via upwards sampling, multiply each other with the constant frequency cosine signal afterwards) in the high frequency band.
Spectrum folding and translation method can produce harmonic structure and extend signal with the discontinuous frequency spectrum of the original harmonic structure of narrow-band pumping signal S80 on phase place and/or frequency.For instance, these class methods can produce the signal of the peak value with the multiple place that is not positioned at fundamental frequency usually, and this may cause the illusion of microphonia in the voice signal of rebuilding.These methods produce toward contact has the unnatural high-frequency harmonic wave of transferring characteristic than forte.Yet, bandwidth is restricted to and is not more than 3400Hz because the PSTN signal can be taken a sample under 8kHz, so the top frequency spectrum of narrow-band pumping signal S80 may contain seldom or not contain energy, make that translating extension signal that operation produces according to spectrum folding or frequency spectrum can have spectral hole more than the 3400Hz.
Other method that produces harmonic wave extension signal S160 comprises one or more fundamental frequencies of identification narrow-band pumping signal S80 and produces homophonic according to described information.For instance, the harmonic structure of pumping signal can be described with amplitude and phase information by fundamental frequency.Another embodiment of high band excitation generator A300 produces harmonic wave extension signal S160 based on fundamental frequency and amplitude (for example, as being indicated by pitch lag and pitch gain).Yet it is relevant on phase place to remove anharmonic wave extension signal and narrow-band pumping signal S80, otherwise the quality through decoded speech of gained may be unacceptable.
Can use nonlinear function produce with the narrow-band excitation phase on mutually dry doubling keep harmonic structure and do not have the high band excitation signal of phase discontinuity.Nonlinear function also can provide the noise level of the increase between the high-frequency harmonic wave, and it often sounds more natural than the tone high-frequency harmonic wave that the method for translating by for example spectrum folding and frequency spectrum produces.Can comprise ABS function (being also referred to as full-wave rectification), half-wave rectification, square, cube and slicing by the typical memoryless nonlinear function that the various embodiments of frequency spectrum stretcher A400 are used.Other embodiment of frequency spectrum stretcher A400 can be configured to use the nonlinear function with memory.
Figure 12 is the block scheme of the embodiment A402 of frequency spectrum stretcher A400, and frequency spectrum stretcher A400 is configured to use the frequency spectrum that nonlinear function extends narrow-band pumping signal S80.Upwards sampler 510 is configured to the sampling that makes progress to narrow-band pumping signal S80.May need signal is carried out fully upwards sampling so that the aliasing when using nonlinear function minimizes.In a particular instance, upwards sampler 510 is a factor to the signal sampling that makes progress with 8.Upwards sampler 510 can be configured to fill in and the result is carried out low-pass filtering carry out upwards sampling operation by input signal being carried out zero.Nonlinear function counter 520 is configured to nonlinear function is applied to through the sampled signal that makes progress.Extend (for example, square) for frequency spectrum, ABS function is not need energy scaleization with respect to a potential advantage of other nonlinear function.In some embodiments, can use ABS function effectively by the sign bit of peeling off or remove each sample.Nonlinear function counter 520 also can be configured to carry out through upwards sampling or frequency spectrum extend the amplitude deviation of signal.
Downsampled device 530 is configured to that the frequency spectrum of using nonlinear function is extended the result and carries out downsampled.Downsampled device 530 may need to carry out the bandpass filtering operation to select frequency spectrum to extend the required frequency band of signal before reducing sampling rate (for example, so that reduce or avoid because aliasing or the error that unnecessary image causes).Downsampled device 530 may also need reduce sampling rate an above stage.
Figure 12 a shows that frequency spectrum extends the figure of the signal spectrum at each point place in the example of operating, and wherein frequency scaling is identical on each curve.Curve (a) is showed the frequency spectrum of the example of narrow-band pumping signal S80.Curve (b) shows that signal S80 is a upwards sampling frequency spectrum afterwards of factor with 8.Curve (c) is showed the example of using nonlinear function extension frequency spectrum afterwards.Curve (d) is showed the frequency spectrum after the low-pass filtering.In this example, passband extends to the upper frequency limit (for example, 7kHz or 8kHz) of high-frequency band signals S30.
Frequency spectrum after curve (e) is showed the downsampled phase one, wherein making sampling rate is that factor reduces to obtain broadband signal with 4.Curve (f) displaying carrying out high-pass filtering is operated with the frequency spectrum after the highband part of selecting the extension signal, and the downsampled subordinate phase frequency spectrum afterwards of curve (g) displaying, and wherein making sampling rate is that factor reduces with 2.In a particular instance, downsampled device 530 is carried out high-pass filtering and downsampled subordinate phase by the Hi-pass filter 130 and the downsampled device 140 that make broadband signal pass through bank of filters A112 (or other structure or routine with same response), has the frequency spectrum extension signal of frequency range and the sampling rate of high-frequency band signals S30 with generation.
As in the curve (g) as seen, downsampled its reversing spectrum that impels of the high communication number shown in the curve (f).In this example, downsampled device 530 also is configured to signal is carried out the spectrum inversion operation.Curve (h) is showed the result who uses the spectrum inversion operation, and described spectrum inversion operation can be passed through signal and function e Jn πOr sequence (1) nMultiply each other and carry out, described sequence (1) nValue between+1 and-1 alternately.This operation is equivalent in frequency domain the digital spectrum translocation distance π with signal.Notice, also can obtain identical result by use downsampled the operation with different order with spectrum inversion.Upwards sampling and/or downsampled operation also can be configured to comprise sampling rate (for example, frequency spectrum extension signal 7kHz) that sampling again obtains to have high-frequency band signals S30.
Notice as mentioned, bank of filters A110 and B120 can be through implementing to make the one or both among narrow-band and high-frequency band signals S20, the S30 have the reversing spectrum form in output place of bank of filters A110, be encoded and decode with the reversing spectrum form, and in broadband voice signal S110 before the output at bank of filters B120 place reversing spectrum once more.Certainly, in the case, with the spectrum inversion operation that does not need shown in Figure 12 a, because high band excitation signal S120 will also need to have the reversing spectrum form.
The upwards sampling of the frequency spectrum extension operation that frequency spectrum stretcher A402 carries out and each downsampled task can many different modes configurations and arrangements.For instance, Figure 12 b shows that frequency spectrum extends the figure of the signal spectrum at each point place in another example of operating, and wherein frequency scaling is identical on each curve.Curve (a) is showed the frequency spectrum of the example of narrow-band pumping signal S80.Curve (b) shows that signal S80 is a upwards sampling frequency spectrum afterwards of factor with 2.Curve (c) is showed the example of using nonlinear function extension frequency spectrum afterwards.In the case, accept contingent aliasing in the upper frequency.
Curve (d) is showed the frequency spectrum after the reversing spectrum operation.Frequency spectrum after curve (e) is showed the downsampled single stage, wherein making sampling rate is that factor reduces to extend signal to obtain required frequency spectrum with 2.In this example, described signal is taked the reversing spectrum form, and can be used for handling in the embodiment of high band encoder A200 of the high-frequency band signals S30 that takes this form.

Embodiment comprises the embodiment that is configured to harmonic wave is extended the high band excitation generator A300 that signal S160 mixes with noise signal.As shown in figure 11, high band excitation generator A302 comprises noise generator 480, and it is configured to produce random noise signal.In an example, noise generator 480 is configured to produce unit variance white pseudo-random noise signal, but in other embodiments, noise signal do not need for white and can have power density along with frequency change.Noise generator 480 may need to be configured to the output noise signal as the determinacy function so that can duplicate its state at the demoder place.For instance, noise generator 480 can be configured to the output noise signal conduct determinacy function of information encoded (for example, narrow band filter parameter S 40 and/or encoded narrow-band pumping signal S50) in same number of frames previously.
Extending before signal S160 mixes with harmonic wave, the random noise signal that noise generator 480 produces can be through the temporal envelope of which amplitude modulation with energy distribution in time with approximate narrow-band signal S20, high-frequency band signals S30, narrow-band pumping signal S80 or harmonic wave extension signal S160.As shown in figure 11, high band excitation generator A302 comprises combiner 470, and its temporal envelope that is configured to calculate according to envelope counter 460 carries out which amplitude modulation to the noise signal that noise generator 480 produces.For instance, combiner 470 can be embodied as multiplier, and it is configured to come the output of convergent-divergent noise generator 480 to produce through zoop signal S170 according to the temporal envelope that envelope counter 460 calculates.

Envelope counter 460 can be configured to comprise the task of a series of subtasks and carry out envelope and calculate as one.Figure 15 shows the process flow diagram of the example T100 of this task.Subtask T110 calculate envelope treat the signal of modeling (for example, narrow-band pumping signal S80 or harmonic wave extend signal S160) frame each sample square to produce the square value sequence.Subtask T120 carries out smooth operation to the square value sequence.In an example, subtask T120 uses an IIR low-pass filter according to following formula to sequence:
y(n)＝ax(n)+(1-a)y(n-1)， (1)
Wherein x is the wave filter input, and y is wave filter output, Domain Index when n is, and a is the smoothing factor with the value between 0.5 and 1.The value of smoothing factor a can be fixing, perhaps in alternate embodiment, can be according to the indication of noise in the input signal and self-adaptation, and make under muting situation a near 1, and exist under the situation of noise near 0.5.Subtask T130 is applied to through each sample of level and smooth sequence square root function to produce temporal envelope.
This embodiment of envelope counter 460 can be configured to according to execute the task each subtask of T100 of serial and/or parallel mode.In the other embodiments of task T100, can the logical operation of band before the T110 of subtask, the required frequency part of the signal that it is configured to select envelope to treat modeling, for example 3-4kHz scope.
Combiner 490 is configured to harmonic wave is extended signal S160 and mixes through zoop signal S170 to produce high band excitation signal S120.The embodiment of combiner 490 can be configured (for example) with high band excitation signal S120 is calculated as harmonic wave extend signal S160 with through zoop signal S170's and.This embodiment of combiner 490 can be configured to by extending signal S160 and/or to using weighting factor through zoop signal S170 to harmonic wave before summation, and high band excitation signal S120 is calculated as weighted sum.Can calculate each this type of weighting factor according to one or more standards, and described weighting factor can be fixed value, perhaps frame by frame or by the adaptation value that calculates on the sub-frame basis.
Figure 16 shows the block scheme of the embodiment 492 of combiner 490, and described embodiment 492 is configured to that high band excitation signal S120 is calculated as harmonic wave and extends signal S160 and weighted sum through zoop signal S170.Combiner 492 is configured to extend signal S160 according to harmonic wave weighting factor S180 weighting harmonic wave, and through zoop signal S170, and output high band excitation signal S120 is as the summation that is weighted signal according to noise weighting factor S190 weighting.In this example, combiner 492 comprises weighting factor counter 550, and it is configured to calculate harmonic wave weighting factor S180 and noise weighting factor S190.
Weighting factor counter 550 can be configured to calculate weighting factor S180 and S190 according to the required ratio of harmonic content and noise content among the high band excitation signal S120.For instance, combiner 492 may need to produce high band excitation signal S120 with have to the harmonic energy of high-frequency band signals S30 and noise energy than similar harmonic energy and noise energy ratio.In some embodiments of weighting factor counter 550, calculate weighting factor S180, S190 according to one or more parameters relevant (for example, pitch gain and/or speech pattern) with the periodicity of narrow-band signal S20 or narrow-band residual signal.This embodiment of weighting factor counter 550 can be configured to the value of assigning (for example) to be directly proportional with pitch gain to harmonic wave weighting factor S180, and/or is compared to turbid voice signal to the higher value of noise weighting factor S190 appointment for clear voice signal.
In other embodiments, weighting factor counter 550 is configured to calculate according to the cyclic indicator of high-frequency band signals S30 the value of harmonic wave weighting factor S180 and/or noise weighting factor S190.In this type of example, weighting factor counter 550 is calculated as the maximal value of the coefficient of autocorrelation of the present frame of high-frequency band signals S30 or subframe with harmonic wave weighting factor S180, wherein postpones and do not comprise in the hunting zone of zero sample delay to carry out auto-correlation comprising a pitch lag.Figure 17 shows that postponing with a pitch lag is that center and the length with the width that is not more than a pitch lag are the example of this hunting zone of n sample.
Figure 17 also shows the example of weighting factor counter 550 in the other method of the cyclic indicator of some stages calculating high-frequency band signals S30.In the phase one, present frame is divided into many subframes, and discerns the delay of coefficient of autocorrelation when maximum separately at each subframe.As mentioned above, postpone and do not comprise in the hunting zone of zero sample delay to carry out auto-correlation comprising pitch lag.
In subordinate phase, be applied to each subframe, connect the subframe of gained to set up the optimal delay frame and the related coefficient that harmonic wave weighting factor S180 is calculated as between primitive frame and the optimal delay frame is set up deferred frame by delay with corresponding identification.In another alternate embodiment, weighting factor counter 550 is calculated as harmonic wave weighting factor S180 the mean value of the maximum coefficient of autocorrelation that obtains at each subframe in the phase one.The embodiment of weighting factor counter 550 also can be configured to the convergent-divergent related coefficient, and/or itself and another value is made up, to calculate the value of harmonic wave weighting factor S180.
Weighting factor counter 550 may need only otherwise indicating frame to have the cyclic indicator that calculates high-frequency band signals S30 under the periodic situation.For instance, weighting factor counter 550 can be configured to the cyclic indicator that calculates high-frequency band signals S30 according to periodic another designator (for example, pitch gain) and the relation between the threshold value of present frame.In an example, weighting factor counter 550 value that only is configured to the pitch gain (for example, the residual self-adaptation code book gain of narrow-band) when frame is just carried out auto-correlation computation to high-frequency band signals S30 during greater than 0.5 (perhaps, at least 0.5).In another example, weighting factor counter 550 is configured to only at the frame with special sound mode state (for example, only at the voiced sound signal) high-frequency band signals S30 be carried out auto-correlation computation.Under this type of situation, weighting factor counter 550 can be configured to assign the default weighting factor at the frame with other speech pattern state and/or less pitch gain value.
Embodiment comprises and is configured to according to being different from periodically or removing the other embodiments that characteristic the periodicity is calculated the weighting factor counter 550 of weighting factor.For instance, this embodiment can be configured at the voice signal with big pitch lag than assigning bigger value at the voice signal with little pitch lag to noise gain factor S190.This type of embodiment of another of weighting factor counter 550 is configured to signal energy according to the multiple place that is in fundamental frequency with respect to the index of the signal energy that is in other frequency component place, determines the index of the humorous degree of broadband voice signal S10 or high-frequency band signals S30.
Some embodiments of wideband speech coding device A100 are configured to another index based on pitch gain described herein and/or periodicity or humorous degree, export periodically or the indication of humorous degree (for example, the indication frame is that harmonic wave still is non-harmonic 1 flag).In an example, corresponding broadband Voice decoder B100 uses this to indicate and disposes for example operation of weighting factor calculating.In another example, this indication is used for the value that scrambler and/or demoder place come the computing voice mode parameter.
May need high band excitation generator A302 to produce high band excitation signal S120, make the energy of pumping signal roughly not be subjected to the influence of the particular value of weighting factor S180 and S190.In the case, weighting factor counter 550 can be configured to calculate the value (or receive this value from another element of memory storage or high band encoder A200) of harmonic wave weighting factor S180 or noise weighting factor S190, and derives the value of another weighting factor according to for example following formula:
(W Harmonic wave) 2+ (W Noise) 2=1, (2)
W wherein Harmonic waveExpression harmonic wave weighting factor S180, and W NoiseExpression noise weighting factor S190.Perhaps, weighting factor counter 550 can be configured to according to the value of the periodic measurement of present frame or subframe from how corresponding one to selecting weighting factor S180, the S190, and is wherein said to through calculating to satisfy for example constant energy ratio of expression formula (2) in advance.For the embodiment of the weighting factor counter 550 of following expression formula (2), the representative value of harmonic wave weighting factor S180 arrives in about 1.0 scopes about 0.7, and the representative value of noise weighting factor S190 arrives in about 0.7 scope about 0.1.Other embodiment of weighting factor counter 550 can be configured to extend expression formula (2) pattern that signal S160 and the required baseline between zoop signal S170 add weight update according to the foundation harmonic wave and operate.
When using sparse code book (the most of code book of clauses and subclauses) when calculating residual quantization means form, in the synthetic speech signal illusion may take place as null value.Especially when with low bitrate coding narrow-band signal, it is sparse code book to take place.The sparse illusion that causes of code book is quasi periodic usually in time, and mainly takes place more than 3kHz.Because people's ear has time resolution preferably under upper frequency, so these illusions may be more obvious in high frequency band.
Embodiment comprises the embodiment of the high band excitation generator A300 that is configured to carry out anti-sparseness filtering.Figure 18 shows the block scheme of the embodiment A312 of high band excitation generator A302, and described embodiment A312 comprises anti-sparseness filtering device 600, and it is configured to carry out filtering to what quantizer 450 produced through de-quantization narrow-band pumping signal.Figure 19 shows the block scheme of the embodiment A314 of high band excitation generator A302, and described embodiment A314 comprises anti-sparseness filtering device 600, and its frequency spectrum that is configured to that frequency spectrum stretcher A400 is produced extends signal and carries out filtering.Figure 20 shows the block scheme of the embodiment A316 of high band excitation generator A302, and described embodiment A316 comprises anti-sparseness filtering device 600, and it is configured to the output of combiner 490 is carried out filtering to produce high band excitation signal S120.Certainly, expection and this disclose clearly with embodiment A304 and A306 any one feature and any one the embodiment of high band excitation generator A300 of characteristics combination of embodiment A312, A314 and A316.Anti-sparseness filtering device 600 is also configurable in frequency spectrum stretcher A400: for example the element in frequency spectrum stretcher A402 510,520,530 and 540 any one after.Pay particular attention to, anti-sparseness filtering device 600 also can be used for the embodiment that execution spectrum folding, frequency spectrum are translated or harmonic wave extends of frequency spectrum stretcher A400.
Anti-sparseness filtering device 600 can be configured to change its phase of input signals.For instance, anti-sparseness filtering device 600 may need to be configured and to arrange, and makes the phase place of high band excitation signal S120 along with time randomization or alternate manner distribute more equably.The response that may also need anti-sparseness filtering device 600 is the frequency spectrum leveling, and feasible amplitude frequency spectrum through filtering signal does not have sizable change.In an example, anti-sparseness filtering device 600 is embodied as the all-pass filter with transfer function according to following formula:
H ( z ) = - 0.7 + z - 4 1 - 0.7 z - 4 · 0.6 + z - 6 1 + 0.6 z - 6 . - - - ( 3 )
An effect of this wave filter can be the energy dissipation of input signal to be opened make it no longer only concentrate in several samples.
The sparse illusion that causes of code book is more obvious for the signal of the residual similar noise that comprises less tone information wherein usually, and also more obvious for the voice in the ground unrest.Usually cause less illusion under the sparse situation that has long-term structure in excitation, and in fact phase modification can cause noise in the voiced sound signal.Therefore, may need to dispose anti-sparseness filtering device 600 the voiceless sound signal is carried out filtering and at least some voiced sound signals are passed through.The voiceless sound signal (for example is characterised in that the low pitch gain, quantize the gain of narrow-band self-adaptation code book) and near zero or be positive spectral tilt (for example, quantize first reflection coefficient), thus indication leveling or acclivitous spectrum envelope along with the continuous increase of frequency.The typical embodiments of anti-sparseness filtering device 600 to voiceless sound (for example is configured to, value as spectral tilt is indicated) carry out filtering, when pitch gain is lower than threshold value (perhaps, being not more than threshold value), voiced sound is carried out filtering, and otherwise under the situation of not making change, signal is passed through.
The other embodiments of anti-sparseness filtering device 600 comprise two or more wave filters, and it is configured to have different maximum phases and revises angle (for example, up to 180 degree).In the case, anti-sparseness filtering device 600 according to pitch gain (for example can be configured to, quantize self-adaptation code book or LTP gain) value form in wave filters at these and select be used to have frame so that maximum phase that will be bigger is revised the angle than the low pitch yield value.The embodiment of anti-sparseness filtering device 600 also can comprise different composition wave filters, it is configured to revise phase place on the part more or less of frequency spectrum, is used to have frame than the low pitch yield value so that will be configured on the wider frequency range of input signal to revise the wave filter of phase place.
In order to duplicate encoded voice signal exactly, may need to make the high frequency band of synthetic broadband voice signal S100 and ratio between the narrow-band level partly to be similar to described ratio among the original broadband voice signal S10.Except the spectrum envelope that high frequency band coding parameter S60a represents, high band encoder A200 also can be configured to characterize high-frequency band signals S30 by fixed time or gain envelope.As shown in figure 10, high band encoder A202 comprises high frequency band gain factor counter A230, it is configured and arranges to calculate one or more gain factors according to the relation between high-frequency band signals S30 and the synthetic high-frequency band signals S130 (for example, the difference or the ratio of described two signals between the energy on frame or its certain part).In other embodiment of high band encoder A202, high frequency band gain calculator A230 can similarly dispose but change into through arranging to come the calculated gains envelope according to this time-varying relationship between high-frequency band signals S30 and narrow-band pumping signal S80 or the high band excitation signal S120.
The temporal envelope of narrow-band pumping signal S80 and high-frequency band signals S30 is similar probably.Therefore, coding usually will be only more effective based on the gain envelope of high-frequency band signals S30 than coding based on the gain envelope of the relation between high-frequency band signals S30 and the narrow-band pumping signal S80 (or the signal of therefrom deriving, for example high band excitation signal S120 or synthetic high-frequency band signals S130).In typical embodiments, high band encoder A202 is configured to be output as 8 to 12 the quantization index that each frame is specified 5 gain factors.
High frequency band gain factor counter A230 can be configured to comprise the task of one or more serial subtasks and carry out gain factor and calculate as one.Figure 21 shows that the relative energy according to high-frequency band signals S30 and synthetic high-frequency band signals S130 calculates the process flow diagram of example T200 of task of the yield value of corresponding subframe.Task 220a and 220b calculate the energy of the corresponding subframe of each signal.For instance, task 220a and 220b can be configured to energy be calculated as each subframe sample square and.Task T230 is calculated as the gain factor of subframe the square root of the ratio of those energy.In this example, task T230 is calculated as gain factor the square root of ratio of the energy of the energy of high-frequency band signals S30 on the subframe and synthetic high-frequency band signals S130.
High frequency band gain factor counter A230 may need to be configured to calculate subframe energy according to window function.Figure 22 shows the process flow diagram of this embodiment T210 of gain factor calculation task T200.Task T215a is applied to high-frequency band signals S30 with window function, and task T215b is applied to synthetic high-frequency band signals S130 with the uniform window function.The embodiment 222a of task 220a and 220b and 222b calculate the energy of window separately, and task T230 is calculated as the gain factor of subframe the square root of the ratio of energy.
May need to use the window function overlapping with adjacent sub-frames.For instance, can be overlapping-window function of the generation gain factor that the phase add mode is used can help to reduce or avoid uncontinuity between the subframe.In an example, high frequency band gain factor counter A230 is configured to use the trapezoidal window function shown in Figure 23 a, and wherein each of window and two adjacent sub-frames is overlapping one millisecond.Figure 23 b shows each of five subframes that this window function is applied to 20 milliseconds of frames.Other embodiment of high frequency band gain factor counter A230 can be configured to use and have negative lap cycle not and/or different windows shape (for example, rectangle, Hamming) window function of (its can symmetry or asymmetric).The embodiment of high frequency band gain factor counter A230 may be configured to that also the different windows function is applied to the different subframes in the frame and/or comprise the frame of the subframe with different length.
The example of following value (without limits) as particular is provided.At the frame of one 20 milliseconds of these situation supposition, but can use any other duration.For the high-frequency band signals with the 7kHz sampling, each frame has 140 samples.If this frame is divided into five subframes with equal length, each subframe will have 28 samples so, and the window shown in Figure 23 a will be wide for 42 samples.For the high-frequency band signals with the 8kHz sampling, each frame has 160 samples.If this frame is divided into five subframes with equal length, each subframe will have 32 samples so, and the window shown in Figure 23 a will be wide for 48 samples.In other embodiments, can use subframe, and even may make the embodiment of high frequency band gain calculator A230 be configured to produce different gain factors at each sample of frame with any width.
Figure 24 shows the block scheme of the embodiment B202 of high band decoder B200.High band decoder B202 comprises high band excitation generator B300, and it is configured to produce high band excitation signal S120 based on narrow-band pumping signal S80.Select to decide on particular system design, can implement high band excitation generator B300 according to any one of the embodiment of high band excitation generator A300 described herein.Usually, high band excitation generator B300 need be embodied as the identical response of high band excitation generator that has with the high band encoder of specific coding system.Yet, because narrow-band demoder B110 will carry out the de-quantization of encoded narrow-band pumping signal S50 usually, so in most of the cases, high band excitation generator B300 can be through implementing receiving narrow-band pumping signal S80 from narrow-band demoder B110, and do not need to comprise the quantizer that is configured to encoded narrow-band pumping signal S50 de-quantization.Narrow-band demoder B110 also may be through implementing comprising the example of anti-sparseness filtering device 600, and it is configured to before will being input to the narrow-band composite filter of wave filter 330 for example through the narrow-band pumping signal of de-quantization described signal be carried out filtering.
Quantizer 560 is configured to the de-quantization to high band filter parameter S 60a (being one group of LSF in this example), and LSF-LP filter coefficient conversion 570 is configured to LSF is transformed to one group of filter coefficient (for example, describing with reference to quantizer 240 and the conversion 250 of narrowband encoder A122 as mentioned).In other embodiments, as mentioned above, can use different coefficient sets (for example, cepstrum coefficient) and/or the coefficient representation (for example, ISP).High frequency band composite filter B200 is configured to produce synthetic high-frequency band signals according to high band excitation signal S120 and described group of filter coefficient.The system that comprises composite filter for high band encoder wherein (for example, in the example as above-mentioned scrambler A202), may need high frequency band composite filter B200 is embodied as and have the response identical (for example, identical transfer function) with described composite filter.
High band decoder B202 also comprises the quantizer 580 that is configured to high frequency band gain factor S60b de-quantization, with be configured and arrange will be applied to synthetic high-frequency band signals through the gain factor of de-quantization to produce the gain control element 590 (for example, multiplier or amplifier) of high-frequency band signals S100.For the gain envelope of frame wherein situation by an above gain factor appointment, gain control element 590 can comprise the logic that is configured to gain factor to be applied to according to window function each subframe, described window function can be identical or different with the window function of being used by the gain calculator (for example, high frequency band gain calculator A230) of corresponding high band encoder.In other embodiment of high band decoder B202, gain control element 590 is applied to the gain factor through de-quantization narrow-band pumping signal S80 or is applied to high band excitation signal S120 to change into through configuration similarly but through arranging.
As mentioned above, may in high band encoder and high band decoder, obtain equal state (for example, by using through the de-quantization value during encoding).Therefore, may guarantee in coded system that the corresponding noise generator among high band excitation generator A300 and the B300 has equal state according to this embodiment.For instance, the high band excitation generator A300 of this embodiment and B300 can be configured and make that the state of noise generator is that information encoded has been (for example in the same number of frames, narrow band filter parameter S 40 or its part, and/or encoded narrow-band pumping signal S50 or its part) the determinacy function.
One or more (for example, quantizer 230,420 or 430) in the quantizer of element described herein can be configured to carry out class vector and quantize.For instance, this quantizer can be configured to based in the narrow-band channel and/or in the same number of frames in the high frequency band channel information encoded from one group of code book, select a code book.This technology is the code efficiency that cost provides increase to store extra code book usually.
Referring to for example Fig. 8 and 9 argumentations, remove rough spectrum envelope from narrow-band voice signal S20 after, quite a large amount of periodic structures may be retained in the residual signal as mentioned.For instance, residual signal can contain rough recurrent pulses or spiking sequence in time.This structure (relevant with tone usually) especially might occur in the voiced speech signal.The calculating of the quantization means form of narrow-band residual signal can comprise according to the model of the long term periodicities of being represented by (for example) one or more code books this tone structure of encoding.
The tone structure of actual residual signals may not mated with periodic model fully.For instance, residual signal may comprise the less shake of the location rule of tone pulses, makes in the frame distance between the continuous tone pulse not exclusively equate and described structure is not suitable rule.These scramblings tend to reduce code efficiency.
Some embodiments of narrowband encoder A120 be configured to by before quantizing or during be applied to the auto-adaptive time deviation residual, or, carry out the regularization of tone structure by otherwise in encoded pumping signal, comprising the auto-adaptive time deviation.For instance, this scrambler can be configured to select or otherwise computing time deviation degree (for example, according to one or more perceptual weightings and/or error minimize standard), make the pumping signal of gained and model the best of long term periodicities fit.The regularization of tone structure is carried out by the celp coder group that is called lax code exciting lnear predict (RCELP) scrambler.
The RCELP scrambler is configured to the execution time deviation usually as the self-adaptation time shift.This time shift can be negative several milliseconds and arrives the just delay of several milliseconds of scopes, and it changes the uncontinuity that can hear to avoid usually smoothly.In some embodiments, this scrambler is configured to segmented mode application ruleization, wherein each frame or subframe deviation fixedly time shift accordingly.In other embodiments, scrambler is configured to application rule and turns into and be continuous departure function, makes frame or subframe according to tone contour (being also referred to as the tone track) and deviation.In some cases (for example, described in No. 2004/0098255 U.S. Patent Application Publication case), scrambler is configured to by offset applications is comprised time deviation in being used for calculating the perceptual weighting input signal of encoded pumping signal in encoded pumping signal.
The encoded pumping signal of scrambler computation ruleization and quantification, and demoder is used for synthetic pumping signal through decodeing speech signal to encoded pumping signal de-quantization with acquisition.Therefore show the delay of the variation identical through decoded output signal be included in delay in the encoded pumping signal by regularization.Usually, not with the information transmission of any specified rule amount to demoder.
Regularization often makes residual signal more easily encode, and this has improved from the coding gain of long-term predictor and has therefore advanced overall code efficiency, and can not produce illusion usually.May need only to the unvoiced frame executing ruleization.For instance, narrowband encoder A124 can be configured to only be offset frame or the subframe that those have long-term structure (for example, voiced sound signal).Even may need only to comprising the subframe executing ruleization of tone pulses energy.The various embodiments of RCELP coding have been described in the 5th, 704, No. 003 United States Patent (USP) people such as () Kleijn and the 6th, 879, No. 955 United States Patent (USP)s (Rao) and No. 2004/0098255 U.S. Patent Application Publication case people such as () Kovesi.The existing embodiment of RCELP scrambler comprises as enhancing variable bit rate coder (EVRC) and third generation partnership relation plan 2 (3GPP2) alternative mode vocoder (SMV) described in the IS-127 of telecommunications industry association (TIA).
Unfortunately, regularization may cause some problems for the wideband speech coding device (system that for example, comprises wideband speech coding device A100 and broadband Voice decoder B100) of wherein deriving high band excitation from encoded narrow-band pumping signal.Because high band excitation signal derives from the time deviation signal, so high band excitation signal will have the time response different with the time response of original high frequency band voice signal usually.In other words, high band excitation signal will be no longer synchronous with original high frequency band voice signal.
Temporal misalignment between deviation high band excitation signal and the original high frequency band voice signal may cause some problems.For instance, the deviation high band excitation signal may no longer provide suitable source forcing for the composite filter according to the filter parameter configuration of extracting from original high frequency band voice signal.Therefore, synthetic high-frequency band signals can contain the illusion of hearing that reduces through the perceived quality of decoding broadband voice signal.
Temporal misalignment also may cause the poor efficiency of gain envelope coding.As mentioned above, exist probably between the temporal envelope of narrow-band pumping signal S80 and high-frequency band signals S30 relevant.By gain envelope, compare the raising that can realize code efficiency with direct coding gain envelope according to the coding of the relation between these two temporal envelope high-frequency band signals.Yet, when encoded narrow-band pumping signal regularization, this relevant may weakening.Temporal misalignment between narrow-band pumping signal S80 and the high-frequency band signals S30 can cause occurring fluctuation among the high frequency band gain factor S60b, and code efficiency may reduce.
