ABSTRACT:
A communication system using voice compression includes a transmitter base station (113) and a selective call receiver (112). The transmitter base station (113) includes an input device (204) to receive an audio voice message which is stored in a memory (209). A processing device (208) digitizes the audio voice message to provide an input signal which is divided into a sequence of equivalent time frames, and differences in a short-term frequency spectrum between adjacent time frames is determined to derive distance measurements. A speed factor is computed as an average of the distance measurements, and the input signal is time-scales in accordance with the speed factor and then transmitted by a transmitter (102). The selective call receiver (112) includes a receiver (105) which receives the time-scaled signal, a processing device (115, 106) which demodulates and expands the time-scaled signal in accordance with the speed factor to provide a reconstructed signal which is amplified by an amplifier (108) into an audio signal.
