ABSTRACT:
An apparatus and method for encoding and decoding a voice signal. The apparatus includes an encoder configured to generate an output bitstream signal from an input voice signal. The output bitstream signal is associated with at least a first standard of a first plurality of CELP voice compression standards. Additionally, the apparatus includes a decoder configured to generate an output voice signal from an input bitstream signal. The input bitstream signal is associated with at least a first standard of a second plurality of CELP voice compression standards. The CELP encoder includes a plurality of codec-specific encoder modules. Additionally, the CELP encoder includes a plurality of generic encoder modules. The CELP decoder includes a plurality of codec-specific decoder modules. Additionally, the CELP decoder includes a plurality of generic decoder modules.
