Abstract

A method and system for implementing a low complexity spectrum estimation technique for comfort noise generation are disclosed. Another aspect of the present invention involves segregating filter parameter encoding from an adaptation process for transmission in the form of silence insertion descriptors. A method for implementing a spectrum estimation for comfort noise generation comprises the steps of receiving an input noise signal; approximating a spectrum of the input noise signal using an algorithm over a period of time; detecting an absence of speech signals; and generating comfort noise based on the approximating step when the absence of speech signals is detected; wherein the spectrum of the input noise signal is substantially constant over the period of time.
