    Abstract: A method and apparatus for the variable rate coding of a speech signal. An input speech signal is classified and an appropriate coding mode is selected based on this classification. For each classification, the coding mode that achieves the lowest bit rate with an acceptable quality of speech reproduction is selected. Low average bit rates arc achieved by only employing high fidelity modes (i.e., high bit rate, broadly applicable to different types of speech) during portions of the speech where this fidelity is required for acceptable output. Lower bit rate modes are used during portions of speech where these modes produce acceptable output. Input speech signal is classified into active and inactive regions. Active regions are further classified into voiced, unvoiced, and transient regions. Various coding modes are applied to active speech, depending upon the required level of fidelity. Coding modes may be utilized according to the strengths and weaknesses of each particular mode. The apparatus dynamically switches between these modes as the properties of the speech signal vary with time. And where appropriate, regions of speech arc modeled as pseudo-random noise, resulting in a significantly lower bit rate. This coding is used in a dynamic fashion whenever unvoiced speech or background noise is detected.

    Abstract: A method and apparatus for coding a quasi-periodic speech signal. The speech signal is represented by a residual signal generated by filtering the speech signal with a Linear Predictive Coding (LPC) analysis filter. The residual signal is encoded by extracting a prototype period from a current frame of the residual signal. A first set of parameters is calculated which describes how to modify a previous prototype period to approximate the current prototype period. One or more codevectors are selected which, when summed, approximate the error between the current prototype period and the modified previous prototype. A multi-stage codebook is used to encode this error signal. A second set of parameters describe these selected codevectors. The decoder synthesizes an output speech signal by reconstructing a current prototype period based on the first and second set of parameters, and the previous reconstructed prototype period. The residual signal is then interpolated over the region between the current and previous reconstructed prototype periods. The decoder synthesizes output speech based on the interpolated residual signal.

    Abstract: Un sistema de telecomunicaciones inalambricas moviles que incluye estaciones base de un primer tipo que operan de acuerdo con una primera interfase aerea, y estaciones base de un segundo tipo que operan de acuerdo con una segunda interfase aerea. Se proporcionan metodos y aparatos para transmitir a una estacion movil en el sistema desde una primera estacion base, la cual es del primer tipo, a una segunda estacion base, la cual es del segundo tipo. El enlace de comunicaciones es establecido por la primera interfase aerea entre la estacion movil, y la primera estacion base. Los datos recibidos de la estacion movil en respuesta a la senal recibida por la estacion movil, por la segunda interfase aerea desde la segunda estacion base, sin romper substancialmente el enlace de comunicacion con la primera estacion base. La estacion movil es transmitida de la primera a la segunda estacion base en respuesta a los datos recibidos de la misma. En particular, se proporciona un metodo para conducir la transmision intersistema para un sistema transmisor multiple a un sistema disperso directo. La sincronizacion de tiempo tambien se hace disponible de una manera ventajosa a traves de la estacion movil.
