Abstract

This coder dispatches the bits resulting from the coding operation of a speech signal into a format for transmission at a rate chosen from a plurality of predetermined transmission rates. More specifically, the contents of at least part of the speech signal frequency bandwidth is split into several sub-bands. Said sub-bands are regrouped into sub-groups, each of said sub-groups corresponding to at least one of said possible transmission rates, i.e. to at least one sub-group coding bit rate. The signal samples belonging to each sub-group are recoded through a dynamical allocation of requantizing steps between the sub-bands. The obtained bits resulting from the recoding are dispatched into a multirate frame according to the sub-group which they belong to.
