Abstract

A speech processing system receives multiple streams of speech frames. The system selects among concurrent ones of the frames a subset of those frames that are the most relevant, based on pre-assigned stream priorities and energy content of the frames. The selected frames are then decoded and rendered. The resulting signals are mixed. This architecture provides bandwidth scalability and/or processing power scalability.
