Abstract

A method of encoding speech includes a limited search of a tree-code excitation codebook with a closed loop gain calculation for each test path under consideration. The gain calculation occurs when minimizing an error distance measurement between a synthetic signal defined by each test path being considered and the appropriate speech signal by optimizing a scaling factor of the synthetic signal. The encoding method achieves a significant reduction in computational complexity with minimal loss of performance.
