ABSTRACT:
A speech coding system robust to frame erasure (or packet loss) is described. Illustrative embodiments are directed to a modified version of CCITT standard G.728. In the event of frame erasure, vectors of an excitation signal are synthesized based on previously stored excitation signal vectors generated during non-erased frames. Specifically, the decoder generates and stores samples of a first excitation signal in a memory, and then, in response to a signal indicating a frame erasure, the decoder synthesizes a second excitation signal based on the previously stored samples. In particular, the second excitation is synthesized by correlating a first subset of the stored samples with a second subset thereof, identifying a set of stored excitation signal samples based on the correlation, and synthesizing the second excitation signal based on the identified samples. Finally, the decoder then filters the second excitation signal to synthesize a signal reflecting human speech.
