Abstract

Speech transmission method by initializing silence, transmit, and blank-period counters; receiving frame; determining frame is speech; if transmit counter is zero and blank-period counter is less than x then discard frame, increment blank-period counter, and return to second step; if transmit counter is zero, blank-period counter greater than x−1, and frame not speech then discard frame, increment blank-period counter, and return to second step; if transmit counter is zero, blank-period counter greater than x−1, and frame is speech then set transmit counter to one, set blank-period counter to zero, set silence counter to zero, encode frame, transmit encoded frame, and return to second step; if transmit counter is one, frame not speech, and silence counter less than y then encode frame, transmit encoded frame, increment silence counter, and return to second step; if transmit counter is one, frame not speech, and silence counter greater than y+z−2 then set transmit counter to zero, discard frame, encode comfort noise, transmit encoded comfort noise, increment silence counter, and return to second step; if transmit counter is one, frame not speech, and silence counte…
