Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method for the scalable improvement of the quality of a signal coding method
  • the audio signals to be transmitted are compressed by means of coding methods and decompressed after the transmission.
  • Such a coding method which is intended for transmission of a speech signal in a frequency range of 300 to 3400 Hz with a data rate of 8 kbit / s, is known, for example, from ITU-T Recommendation G.729.
  • the transmission of an extended frequency range from 50 Hz to
  • a so-called broadband voice codec provided for this purpose is, for example, in ITU-T Recommendation G.722. EV described.
  • the method uses subband adaptive differential pulse code modulation (SB-ADPCM) to encode audio signals.
  • SB-ADPCM subband adaptive differential pulse code modulation
  • the invention has for its object to provide a method for scalable improvement of the quality of a coding method according to the Subband Adaptive Differential Pulse Code principle.
  • the information about the reference signal with the minimum error signal is transmitted.
  • FIG. 2 shows the structure of a codec according to the invention
  • FIG. 3 shows the structure of a decoder according to the invention.
  • the reference signal according to FIG. 1 comprises a number of N discrete pulses ⁇ ⁇ n).
  • the Dirac pulses may have a predetermined number of amplitude values L.
  • FIG. 2 shows the structural design of an encoder according to the invention which, in addition to a conventional coder ADPCM according to the Subband Adaptive Differential Pulse Code principle according to IT-U Recommendation G.722, comprises means for generating reference signals which each have one for each stage of the extension Signal generator EHDSl, ... EHDSS for generating the reference signals c (n) and a control unit CB 1, ... CB S has.
  • the reference signals c (n) are compared with a digital error signal e H over a predetermined time interval, a so-called frame, which in a conventional coding method corresponds to IT-U recommen- tion G.722 was determined from an input signal to be coded and a prognosis signal.
  • the reference signal c (n) with the lowest error amount E n is now determined and the information about this signal is transmitted as additional information I ⁇ imin f • ⁇ iHSmin and used in the receiver for decoding the useful signal ,
  • the starting point is a sampling rate of 8 KHz and thus a duration of a sampling interval of 125 ⁇ sec.
  • the duration of a comparison section is 5 msec, the number of possible amplitude values L for the Dirac pulses is 2.
  • Fig. 3 shows the structure of a decoder according to the invention in the received signal from the I H, Im, IH 2 - the audio signal is obtained I HS - -.
  • the received signal includes the recovered with the invention, additional information Inimm / • • • I HS ⁇ H ⁇ depending on the number of selected channels in the expansion stages.

Abstract

La présente invention concerne un procédé permettant l'amélioration modulaire de la qualité d'un traitement de codage du signal selon la recommandation UIT G.722. Ce procédé comporte les étapes suivantes: - au cours d'un traitement itératif comportant un nombre d'étapes répétitives fonction de la quantité d'extensions, on prend un signal d'erreur (E) déterminé sur la base, d'une part d'un signal d'entrée à coder, et d'autre part d'un signal de pronostic, et on le compare à une quantité M*LN de signaux de référence différents, puis on utilise le résultat de cette comparaison pour déterminer le signal de référence correspondant au minimum du signal d'erreur sur la base d'un critère d'erreur prédéfini; - les signaux de référence sont tous constitués d'impulsions Dirac équidistantes δ(n) décrites par la formule (I) dans laquelle "off = [0.. M-1]" est l'intervalle entre la première impulsion et l'instant zéro, "αP 01,..,αL-1}" est la valeur d'amplitude, "M" est l'intervalle entre chaque impulsion, "N" est le nombre d'impulsions, et "L" est le nombre de niveaux de mesure différents; - et enfin, on transmet l'information concernant le signal de référence correspondant au minimum du signal d'erreur.
