    Abstract: Wideband speech signals must be converted to narrowband speech signals if the transmission medium or the destination terminal is constructed with narrowband constraints. A typical wideband-to-narrowband conversion method is the elimination of frequencies above 3400 Hz using a low pass filter and a down sampler. However, this method produces a muffled speech sound since the resulting narrowband signal has a flat frequency response. Methods and apparatus are presented herein to enhance the acoustic quality of a wideband-to-narrowband converted signal. A bandwidth switching filter is used to emphasize a mid-range frequency portion of the wideband signal so that the resulting narrowband signal has a non-flat frequency spectrum.

    Abstract: A method and apparatus for identifying frequency bands to compute linear phase shifts between frame prototypes in a speech coder includes partitioning the frequency spectrum of a prototype of a frame by dividing the frequency spectrum into segments, assigning one or more bands to each segment, and establishing, for each segment, a set of bandwidths for the bands. The bandwidths may be fixed and uniformly distributed in any given segment. The bandwidths may be fixed and non-uniformly distributed in any segment. The bandwidths may be variable and non-uniformly distributed in any given segment.

    Abstract: The disclosed embodiments provide a method and apparatus for interoperability between CTX and DTX communications systems during transmissions of silence or background noise. Continuous eight rate encoded noise frames are translated to discontinuous SID frames for transmission to DTX systems (402-410). Discontinuous SID frames are translated to continuous eight rate encoded noise frames for decoding by a CTX system (602-606). Applications of CTX to DTX interoperability comprise CDMA and GSM interoperability (narrowband voice transmission systems), CDMA next generation vocoder (The Selectable Mode Vocoder) interoperability with the new ITU-T 4 kbps vocoder operating in DTX-mode for Voice Over IP applications, future voice transmission systems that have a common speech encoder/decoder but operate in differing CTX or DTX modes during speech non-activity, and CDMA wideband voice transmission system interoperability with other wideband voice transmission systems with common wideband vocoders but with different modes of operation (DTX or CTX) during voice non-activity).

    Abstract: A method and apparatus for enhancing coding efficiency by reducing illegal or other undesirable packet generation while encoding a signal, The probability of generating illegal or other undesirable packets while encoding a signal is reduced by first analyzing a history of the frequency of codebook values selected while quantizing speech parameters. Codebook entries are then positioned so that the index/indices that create illegal or other undesirable packets contain the least frequently used entry/entries. Positioning multiple codebooks for various parameters further reduces the probability, that an illegal or other undesirable packet will be created during signal encoding. The method and apparatus may be applied to reduce the probability of generating illegal null traffic channel data packets while encoding eight rate speech.
