Abstract
A multi-rate speech codec supports a plurality of encoding bit rate modes by adaptively selecting encoding bit rate modes to match communication channel restrictions. In higher bit rate encoding modes, an accurate representation of speech through CELP (code excited linear prediction) and other associated modeling parameters are generated for higher quality decoding and reproduction. To achieve high quality in lower bit rate encoding modes, the speech encoder departs from the strict waveform matching criteria of regular CELP coders and strives to identify significant perceptual features of the input signal. The encoder generates pluralities of codevectors from a single, normalized codevector by shifting or other rearrangement. As a result, searching speeds are enhanced, and the physical size of a codebook built from such codevectors is greatly reduced.
