Abstract

A coding process, given a total number of available bits per unit time, allocates to each of a plurality of signal channels a number of bits proportional to information in the channel. The process is useful for transcoding BCPCM (Block Coded PCM) voice signals for lower bit rate and conserving transmission channel bandwidth.
