Extract

Chapter 8 presents the fundamentals of speech coding by first considering quantization of an analog voice signal.The time and frequency domain properties of speech are considered, leading to the various forms of speech coding that are used in wireless communication systems.Adaptive Differential Pulse Code Modulation (ADPCM) is presented and explained, along with frequency domain speech coding methods such as sub-band coding (SBC) and adaptive transform coding (ATC).A wide range of vocoders and linear predictive coders (LPC) are presented, along with structures and approaches used in practice. The chapter concludes with a number of technical considerations used to select a particular speech coder, and studies the speech coders used in the 2G global standards in Europe (GSM) and North America (USDC and CDMA).
