Abstract
The invention improves the encoding and decoding of speech by focusing the encoding on the perceptually important characteristics of speech. The system analyzes selected features of an input speech signal, and first performing a common frame based speech coding of an input speech signal. The system then performs a speech coding based on either a first speech coding mode or a second speech coding mode. The selection of a mode is based on characteristics of the input speech signal. The first speech coding mode uses a first framing structure and the second speech coding mode uses a second framing structure.
