Abstract

In a speech coding method and system in which a speech signal is analyzed in each frame so as to be separated into spectral envelope information and excitation information and both of the information are coded, each frame is divided into a plurality of sub-frames and a pulse of the maximum-amplitude is extracted from pulses within each sub-frame in order to provide large-amplitude pulses from each frame, thereby greatly reducing the number of pulse extracting processing steps.
