Abstract

In a voice coding system, the baseband or residual signal is encoded at a lower rate by finding a best estimate at a lower rate. The voice terminal signal x(n) is split into a low-pass filtered band signal y1(n) and a high-pass filtered band signal y2(n). Both y1(n) and y2(n) signals are coded into lower-rate sub-sequences of samples x1(n), x2(n) and x3(n), x4(n) respectively. The sequence of samples to be representative of x(n) is selected among x1(n), x2(n), x3(n) and x4(n) for being the closest to x(n).
