Abstract

A method of reconstructing, at the receiving end, digital data defining an encoded voice signal segment lost in transmission between the transmitter and the receiver in a transmission system wherein a low-frequency signal such as a residual baseband signal is derived at the transmitting end from the signal to be encoded and is then distributed among several sub-bands whose sampled contents are quantized separately. The reconstruction method includes a step of analyzing the received signal to detect any missing segment thereof and, as the case may be, to initiate an analysis, within each sub-band, of the segment(s) adjacent to the lost segment, so as to generate a term relating to the period T.sub.(k) of the signal so analyzed and to reconstruct a segment of signal of period T.sub.(k) intended to be substituted for the lost segment. Cyclic redundancy is used to detect errors, and modulo sequence numbering identification is used to detect loss of packet.
