Abstract

A voice signal is transmitted digitally at reduced bit rate by use of data compression. The original frequency components of a telephone band width of the voice signal sampled at 8 KHz and quantized with 12 bits are transformed into three parameters: SIGNAL data representing adaptive quantization for lower frequency (300-800 Hz) sub-bands; COEF data representing pre-emphasized parcor type coefficients for the higher frequency (800-3000 Hz) band; and, ENERGY data representing higher frequency short term energy level. The three parameters are multiplexed for transmission in binary-code form, thereby representing a recoding of the original binary-coded voice signals.
