Definitions
- the present disclosure is related to audio coders and rendering audible content and more particularly to bandwidth extension techniques for audio coders.
- Telephonic speech over mobile telephones has usually utilized only a portion of the audible sound spectrum, for example, narrow-band speech within the 300 to 3400 Hz audio spectrum. Compared to normal speech, such narrow-band speech has a muffled quality and reduced intelligibility. Therefore, various methods of extending the bandwidth of the output of speech coders, referred to as “bandwidth extension” or “BWE,” may be applied to artificially improve the perceived sound quality of the coder output.
- BWE bandwidth extension
- BWE schemes may be parametric or non-parametric, most known BWE schemes are parametric.
- the parameters arise from the source-filter model of speech production where the speech signal is considered as an excitation source signal that has been acoustically filtered by the vocal tract.
- the vocal tract may be modeled by an all-pole filter, for example, using linear prediction (LP) techniques to compute the filter coefficients.
- LP coefficients effectively parameterize the speech spectral envelope information.
- Other parametric methods utilize line spectral frequencies (LSF), mel-frequency cepstral coefficients (MFCC), and log-spectral envelope samples (LES) to model the speech spectral envelope.
- LSF line spectral frequencies
- MFCC mel-frequency cepstral coefficients
- LES log-spectral envelope samples

- the present disclosure provides a method for bandwidth extension in a coder and includes defining a transition band for a signal having a spectrum within a first frequency band, where the transition band is defined as a portion of the first frequency band, and is located near an adjacent frequency band that is adjacent to the first frequency band.
- the method analyzes the transition band to obtain a transition band spectral envelope and a transition band excitation spectrum; estimates an adjacent frequency band spectral envelope; generates an adjacent frequency band excitation spectrum by periodic repetition of at least a part of the transition band excitation spectrum with a repetition frequency determined by a pitch frequency of the signal; and combines the adjacent frequency band spectral envelope and the adjacent frequency band excitation spectrum to obtain an adjacent frequency band signal spectrum.
- a signal processing logic for performing the method is also disclosed.
- bandwidth extension may be implemented, using at least the quantized MDCT coefficients generated by a speech or audio coder modeling one frequency band, such as 4 to 7 kHz, to predict MDCT coefficients which model another frequency band, such as 7 to 14 kHz.
- FIG. 1 is a graph 100, which is not to scale, that represents an audio signal 101 over an audible spectrum 102 ranging from 0 to Y kHz.
- the signal 101 has a low band portion 104, and a high band portion 105 which is not reproduced as part of low band speech.
- a transition band 103 is selected and utilized to estimate the high band portion 105.
- the input signal may be obtained in various manners.
- the signal 101 may be speech received over a digital wireless channel of a communication system, sent to a mobile station.
- the signal 101 may also be obtained from memory, for example, in an audio playback device from a stored audio file.
- FIG. 1 is a graph 100, which is not to scale, that represents an audio signal 101 over an audible spectrum 102 ranging from 0 to Y kHz.
- the signal 101 has a low band portion 104, and a high band portion 105 which is not reproduced as part of low band speech.
- a transition band 103 is selected and utilized
- a transition band 103 is defined within a first frequency band 104 of the signal 101.

- FIG. 4 is a block diagram illustrating the components of an electronic device 400 in accordance with the embodiments.

- the electronic device 400 will include an input portion 403 where an audio signal is provided to a signal processing logic 405 in accordance with the embodiments.
- FIG. 4, as well as FIG. 5 and FIG. 6, are for illustrative purposes only, for the purpose of illustrating to one of ordinary skill, the logic necessary for making and using the embodiments herein described. Therefore, the Figures herein are not intended to be complete schematic diagrams of all components necessary for, for example, implementing an electronic device, but rather show only that which is necessary to facilitate an understanding, by one of ordinary skill, how to make and use the embodiments herein described. Therefore, it is also to be understood that various arrangements of logic, and any internal components shown, and any corresponding connectivity there-between, may be utilized and that such arrangements and corresponding connectivity would remain in accordance with the embodiments herein disclosed.
- logic includes software and/or firmware executing on one or more programmable processors, ASICs, DSPs, hardwired logic or combinations thereof. Therefore, in accordance with the embodiments, any described logic, including for example, signal processing logic 405, may be implemented in any appropriate manner and would remain in accordance with the embodiments herein disclosed.
- the electronic device 400 may include a receiver, or transceiver, front end portion 401 and any necessary antenna or antennas for receiving a signal. Therefore receiver 401 and/or input logic 403, individually or in combination, will include all necessary logic to provide appropriate audio signals to the signal processing logic 405 suitable for further processing by the signal processing logic 405.
- the signal processing logic 405 may also include a codebook or codebooks 407 and lookup tables 409 in some embodiments.
- the lookup tables 409 may be spectral envelope lookup tables.
- FIG. 5 provides further details of the signal processing logic 405.
- the signal processing logic 405 includes an estimation and control logic 500, which determines a set of MDCT coefficients to represent the high band portion of an audio signal.
- An Inverse-MDCT, IMDCT 501 is used to convert the signal to the time- domain which is then combined with the low band portion of the audio signal 503 via a summation operation 505 to obtain a bandwidth extended audio signal.
- the bandwidth extended audio signal is then output to an audio output logic (not shown).
- the low band is considered to cover the range from 50 Hz to 7 kHz (nominally referred to as the wideband speech/audio spectrum) and the high band is considered to cover the range from 7 kHz to 14 kHz.
- the combination of low and high bands, i.e. the range from 50 Hz to 14 kHz, is nominally referred to as the super-wideband speech/audio spectrum.
- the low and high bands are possible and would remain in accordance with embodiments.
- the input block 403, which is part of the baseline coder, is shown to provide the following signals: i) the decoded wideband speech/audio signal s w b, ii) the MDCT coefficients corresponding to at least the transition band, and iii) the pitch frequency 606 or the corresponding pitch period/delay.
- the input block 403, in some embodiments, may provide only the decoded wideband speech/audio signal and the other signals may, in this case, be derived from it at the decoder.
- a set of quantized MDCT coefficients is selected in 601 to represent a transition band.
- the frequency band of 4 to 7 kHz may be utilized as a transition band; however other spectral portions may be used and would remain in accordance with the embodiments.
- the selected transition band MDCT coefficients are used, along with selected parameters computed from the decoded wideband speech/audio (for example up to 7 kHz), to generate an estimated set of MDCT coefficients so as to specify signal content in the adjacent band, for example, from 7-14 kHz.
- the selected transition band MDCT coefficients are thus provided to transition band analysis logic 603 and transition band energy estimator 615.
- the energy in the quantized MDCT coefficients, representing the transition band, is computed by the transition band energy estimator logic 615.
- the output of transition band energy estimator logic 615 is an energy value and is closely related to, although not identical to, the energy in the transition band of the decoded wideband speech/audio signal.
- the energy value determined in 615 is input to high band energy predictor 611, which is a non-linear energy predictor that computes the energy of the MDCT coefficients modeling the adjacent band, for example the frequency band of 7- 14 kHz.
- the high band energy predictor 611 may use zero-crossings from the decoded speech, calculated by zero crossings calculator 619, in conjunction with the spectral envelope shape of the transition band spectral portion determined by transition band shape estimator 609. Depending on the zero crossing value and the transition band shape, different non-linear predictors are used thus leading to enhanced predictor performance.
- a large training database is first divided into a number of partitions based on the zero crossing value and the transition band shape and for each of the partitions so generated, separate predictor coefficients are computed.
- the output of the zero crossings calculator 619 may be quantized using an 8-level scalar quantizer that quantizes the frame zero-crossings and, likewise, the transition band shape estimator 609 may be an 8-shape spectral envelope vector quantizer (VQ) that classifies the spectral envelope shape.
- VQ 8-shape spectral envelope vector quantizer
- the MDCT coefficients representing the signal in that band, are first processed in block 603 by an absolute-value operator.
- the processed MDCT coefficients which are zero-valued are identified, and the zeroed-out magnitudes are replaced by values obtained through a linear interpolation between the bounding nonzero valued MDCT magnitudes, which have been scaled down (for example, by a factor of 5) prior to applying the linear interpolation operator.
- the elimination of zero-valued MDCT coefficients as described above reduces the dynamic range of the MDCT magnitude spectrum, and improves the modeling efficiency of the spectral envelope computed from the modified MDCT coefficients.
- the modified MDCT coefficients are then converted to the dB domain, via 20*loglO(x) operator (not shown).
- the dB spectrum is obtained by spectral folding about a frequency index corresponding to 7 kHz, to further reduce the dynamic range of the spectral envelope to be computed for the 4-7 kHz frequency band.
- An Inverse Discrete Fourier Transform (IDFT) is next applied to the dB spectrum thus constructed for the 4-8 kHz frequency band, to compute the first 8 (pseudo-)cepstral coefficients.
- the dB spectral envelope is then calculated by performing a Discrete Fourier Transform (DFT) operation upon the cepstral coefficients.
- DFT Discrete Fourier Transform
- the resulting transition band MDCT spectral envelope is used in two ways. First, it forms an input to the transition band spectral envelope vector quantizer, that is, to transition band shape estimator 609, which returns an index of the pre-stored spectral envelope (one of 8) which is closest to the input spectral envelope. That index, along with an index (one of 8) returned by a scalar quantizer of the zero- crossings computed from the decoded speech, is used to select one of the at most 64 non-linear energy predictors, as previously detailed. Secondly, the computed spectral envelope is used to flatten the spectral envelope of the transition band MDCT coefficients.
- the flattening may also be implemented in the log domain, in which case the division operation is replaced by a subtraction operation.
- the MDCT coefficient signs (or polarities) are saved for later reinstatement, because the conversion to log domain requires positive valued inputs.
- the flattening is implemented in the log domain.
- the flattened transition-band MDCT coefficients (representing the transition band MDCT excitation spectrum) output by block 603 are then used to generate the MDCT coefficients which model the excitation signal in the band from 7-14 kHz.
- the range of MDCT indices corresponding to the transition band may be 160 to 279, assuming that the initial MDCT index is 0 and 20 ms frame size at 32 kHz sampling.
- the MDCT coefficients representing the excitation for indices 280 to 559 corresponding to the 7-14 kHz band are generated, using the following mapping:
- the value of frequency delay D for a given frame, is computed from the value of long term predictor (LTP) delay for the last subframe of the 20 ms frame which is part of the core codec transmitted information. From this decoded LTP delay, an estimated pitch frequency value for the frame is computed, and the biggest integer multiple of this pitch frequency value is identified, to yield a corresponding integer frequency delay value D (defined in the MDCT index domain) which is less than or equal to 120.
- LTP long term predictor
- MDCT coefficients computed from a white noise sequence input may be used to form an estimate of flattened MDCT coefficients in the band from 7-14 kHz. Either way, an estimate of the MDCT coefficients representative of the excitation information in the 7-14 kHz band is formed by the high band excitation generator 605.
- the 7-14 kHz output by the non-linear energy predictor may be adapted by energy adapter logic 617 based on the decoded wideband signal characteristics to minimize artifacts and enhance the quality of the bandwidth extended output speech.
- the energy adapter 617 receives the following inputs in addition to the predicted high band energy value: i) the standard deviation ⁇ of the prediction error from high band energy predictor 611, ii) the voicing level v from the voicing level estimator 621, iii) the output d of the onset/plosive detector 623, and iv) the output ss of the steady- state/transition detector 625.
- the spectral envelope consistent with that energy value is selected from a codebook 407.
- a codebook of spectral envelopes modeling the spectral envelopes which characterize the MDCT coefficients in the 7- 14 kHz band and classified according to the energy values in that band is trained offline.
- the envelope corresponding to the energy class closest to the predicted and adapted energy value is selected by high band envelope selector 613.
- the selected spectral envelope is provided by the high band envelope selector 613 to the high band MDCT generator 607, and is then applied to shape the MDCT coefficients modeling the flattened excitation in the band from 7-14 kHz.
- the shaped MDCT coefficients corresponding to the 7-14 kHz band representing the high band MDCT spectrum are next applied to an inverse modified cosine transform (IMDCT) 501, to form a time domain signal having content in the 7-14 kHz band.
- IMDCT inverse modified cosine transform
- the aforementioned predicted and adapted energy value can serve to facilitate accessing a look-up table 409 that contains a plurality of corresponding candidate spectral envelope shapes.
- this apparatus can also comprise, if desired, one or more look-up tables 409 that are operably coupled to the signal processing logic 405. So configured, the signal processing logic 405 can readily access the look-up tables 409 as appropriate.
- the signal processing discussed above may be performed by a mobile station in wireless communication with a base station.
- the base station may transmit the wideband or narrow-band digital audio signal via conventional means to the mobile station.
- signal processing logic within the mobile station performs the requisite operations to generate a bandwidth extended version of the digital audio signal that is clearer and more audibly pleasing to a user of the mobile station.
- a voicing level estimator 621 may be used in conjunction with high band excitation generator 605. For example, a voicing level of 0, indicating unvoiced speech, may be used to determine use of noise excitation. Similarly, a voicing level of 1 indicating voiced speech, may be used to determine use of high band excitation derived from transition band excitation as described above. When the voicing level is in between 0 and 1 indicating mixed- voiced speech, various excitations may be mixed in appropriate proportion as determined by the voicing level and used.
- the noise excitation may be a pseudo random noise function and as described above, may be considered as filling or patching holes in the spectrum based on the voicing level. A mixed high band excitation is thus suitable for voiced, unvoiced, and mixed-voiced sounds.
- FIG. 6 shows the Estimation and Control Logic 500 as comprising transition band MDCT coefficient selector logic 601, transition band analysis logic 603, high band excitation generator 605, high band MDCT coefficient generator 607, transition band shape estimator 609, high band energy predictor 611, high band envelope selector 613, transition band energy estimator 615, energy adapter 617, zero- crossings calculator 619, voicing level estimator 621, onset/plosive detector 623, and SS/Transition detector 625.
- the input 403 provides the decoded wideband speech/audio signal s w b, the MDCT coefficients corresponding to at least the transition band, and the pitch frequency (or delay) for each frame.
- the transition band MDCT selector logic 601 is part of the baseline coder and provides a set of MDCT coefficients for the transition band to the transition band analysis logic 603 and to the transition band energy estimator 615.
- a zero-crossing calculator 619 may calculate the number of zero-crossings zc in each frame of the wideband speech s w b as follows:
- n the sample index
- N the frame size in samples.
- the value of the zc parameter calculated as above ranges from 0 to 1. From the zc parameter, a voicing level estimator 621 may estimate the voicing level v as follows.
- V 0 if zc > ZC high zc - ZC hw
- a transition-band energy estimator 615 estimates the transition-band energy from the transition band MDCT coefficients.
- the transition-band is defined here as a frequency band that is contained within the wideband and close to the high band, i.e., it serves as a transition to the high band, (which, in this illustrative example, is about 7000 - 14,000 Hz).
- One way to calculate the transition-band energy E t b is to sum the energies of the spectral components, i.e. MDCT coefficients, within the transition-band.
- the coefficients a and ⁇ are selected to minimize the mean squared error between the true and estimated values of the high band energy over a large number of frames from a training speech/audio database.
- the estimation accuracy can be further enhanced by exploiting contextual information from additional speech parameters such as the zero-crossing parameter zc and the transition-band spectral shape as may be provided by a transition-band shape estimator 609.
- the zero-crossing parameter is indicative of the speech voicing level.
- the transition band shape estimator 609 provides a high resolution representation of the transition band envelope shape.
- a vector quantized representation of the transition band spectral envelope shapes in dB
- the vector quantizer (VQ) codebook consists of 8 shapes referred to as transition band spectral envelope shape parameters tbs that are computed from a large training database.
- a corresponding zc-tbs parameter plane may be formed using the zc and tbs parameters to achieve improved performance.
- the zc-tbs plane is divided into 64 partitions corresponding to 8 scalar quantized levels of zc and the 8 tbs shapes. Some of the partitions may be merged with the nearby partitions for lack of sufficient data points from the training database. For each of the remaining partitions in the zc-tbs plane, separate predictor coefficients are computed.
- the high band energy predictor 611 can provide additional improvement in estimation accuracy by using higher powers of E t b in estimating E h bo, e.g.,
- Ehw OCA E t b + &i E t b + on E t b + QTi Ea, + ⁇ .
- Ehbi is the adapted high band energy in dB
- Ehw is the estimated high band energy in dB
- ⁇ > 0 is a proportionality factor
- ⁇ is the standard deviation of the estimation error in dB.
- high band energy predictor 611 additionally determines a measure of unreliability in the estimation of the high band energy level and energy adapter 617 biases the estimated high band energy level to be lower by an amount proportional to the measure of unreliability.
- the measure of unreliability comprises a standard deviation ⁇ of the error in the estimated high band energy level.
- Other measures of unreliability may as well be employed without departing from the scope of the embodiments.
- the probability (or number of occurrences) of energy over-estimation is reduced, thereby reducing the number of artifacts.
- the amount by which the estimated high band energy is reduced is proportional to how good the estimate is - a more reliable (i.e., low ⁇ value) estimate is reduced by a smaller amount than a less reliable estimate.
- the ⁇ value corresponding to each partition of the zc-tbs parameter plane is computed from the training speech database and stored for later use in "biasing down" the estimated high band energy.
- a suitable value of ⁇ for this high band energy predictor, for example, is 1.2.
- the "bias down” approach described above has an added benefit for voiced frames - namely that of masking any errors in high band spectral envelope shape estimation and thereby reducing the resultant "noisy” artifacts.
- voiced frames if the reduction in the estimated high band energy is too high, the bandwidth extended output speech no longer sounds like super wide band speech.
- the estimated high band energy is further adapted in energy adapter 617 depending on its voicing level as
- Ekb 2 E hbl + (1 -v) • S 1 + v S 2
- E h b 2 is the voicing-level adapted high band energy in dB
- v is the voicing level ranging from 0 for unvoiced speech to 1 for voiced speech
- S ⁇ and Si (Si > Si) are constants in dB.
- the choice of Si and Si depends on the value of ⁇ used for the "bias down" and is determined empirically to yield the best-sounding output speech. For example, when ⁇ is chosen as 1.2, S and Si may be chosen as 3.0 and -3.0 respectively. Note that other choices for the value of ⁇ may result in different choices for Si and Si - the values of Si and Si may both be positive or negative or of opposite signs.
- the increased energy level for unvoiced speech emphasizes such speech in the bandwidth extended output compared to the wideband input and also helps to select a more appropriate spectral envelope shape for such unvoiced segments.
- voicing level estimator 621 outputs a voicing level to energy adapter 617 which further modifies the estimated high band energy level based on wideband signal characteristics by further modifying the estimated high band energy level based on a voicing level.
- the further modifying may comprise reducing the high band energy level for substantially voiced speech and/or increasing the high band energy level for substantially unvoiced speech.
- the step of modifying the estimated high band energy level based on the wideband signal characteristics may comprise smoothing the estimated high band energy level (which has been previously modified as described above based on the standard deviation of the estimation ⁇ and the voicing level v), essentially reducing an energy difference between consecutive frames.
- the voicing-level adapted high band energy E h b 2 may be smoothed using a 3 -point averaging filter as
- E h b3 is the smoothed estimate and k is the frame index.
- Smoothing reduces the energy difference between consecutive frames, especially when an estimate is an "outlier", that is, the high band energy estimate of a frame is too high or too low compared to the estimates of the neighboring frames.
- smoothing helps to reduce the number of artifacts in the output bandwidth extended speech.
- the 3-point averaging filter introduces a delay of one frame.
- Other types of filters with or without delay can also be designed for smoothing the energy track.
- the smoothed energy value E h b3 may be further adapted by energy adapter 617 to obtain the final adapted high band energy estimate E hb .
- This adaptation can involve either decreasing or increasing the smoothed energy value based on the ss parameter output by the steady-state/transition detector 625 and/or the d parameter output by the onset/plosive detector 623.
- the step of modifying the estimated high band energy level based on the wideband signal characteristics may include the step of modifying the estimated high band energy level (or previously modified estimated high band energy level) based on whether or not a frame is steady- state or transient.
- This may include reducing the high band energy level for transient frames and/or increasing the high band energy level for steady-state frames, and may further include modifying the estimated high band energy level based on an occurrence of an onset/plosive.
- adapting the high band energy value changes not only the energy level but also the spectral envelope shape since the selection of the high band spectrum may be tied to the estimated energy.
- a frame is defined as a steady-state frame if it has sufficient energy
- ⁇ > ⁇ i ⁇ 0, are empirically chosen constants in dB to achieve good output speech quality.
- the values of ⁇ and ⁇ ⁇ depend on the choice of the proportionality constant ⁇ used for the "bias down". For example, when ⁇ is chosen as 1.2, ⁇ as 3.0, and ⁇ as -3.0, ⁇ and ⁇ may be chosen as 1.5 and 6.0 respectively. Notice that in this example we are slightly increasing the estimated high band energy for steady-state frames and decreasing it significantly further for transition frames. Note that other choices for the values of A, and ⁇ may result in different choices for ⁇ and ⁇ ⁇ - the values of ⁇ and ⁇ ⁇ may both be positive or negative or of opposite signs. Further, note that other criteria for identifying steady-state/transition frames may also be used.
- An onset/plosive presents a special problem because of the following reasons: A) Estimation of high band energy near onset/plosive is difficult; B) Pre-echo type artifacts may occur in the output speech because of the typical block processing employed; and C) Plosive sounds (e.g., [p], [t], and [k]), after their initial energy burst, have characteristics similar to certain sibilants (e.g., [s], [J " ], and [3]) in the wideband but quite different in the high band leading to energy over-estimation and consequent artifacts.
- k is the frame index.
- E mm can be set to - ⁇ dB or to the energy of the high band spectral envelope shape with the lowest energy.
- energy adaptation is done only as long as the voicing level v(k) of the frame exceeds the threshold F 1 .
- the zero-crossing parameter zc with an appropriate threshold may also be used for this purpose.
- the step of modifying the estimated high band energy level based on the wideband signal characteristics may comprise the step of modifying the estimated high band energy level (or previously modified estimated high band energy level) based on an occurrence of an onset/plosive.
