Abstract

At the speech encoding end, upon generation of an fixed excitation vector, the shape of an excitation vector output from pulse excitation codebook 301 is identified in pulse excitation vector shape identifier 302, a dispersion vector used for excitation vectors of the shape is output from dispersion vector storage 304, and, in dispersion vector convolution processor 303, dispersion vector convolution processing of the excitation vector is performed. In particular, when a pulse excitation vector having a specific shape of high frequency of use is output from pulse excitation codebook 301, pulse excitation vector shape identifier 302 controls dispersion vector storage 304 in such a way that an additional dispersion vector prepared dedicated to the pulse excitation vector is output. By this means, it is possible to provide a technology that improves the quality of decoded speech and that decodes speech more natural and audible to the user.
