Abstract

The authors report on the use of the codebook-excited linear-predictive (CELP) algorithm for 32 kb/s low-delay (LD-CELP) coding of wideband speech. The main problem associated with wideband coding, namely, spectral noise weighting, is discussed. The authors propose an enhanced noise weighting technique and demonstrate its efficiency via subjective listening tests. In these tests, involving 20 listeners and 8 test sentences, the average rating for the proposed 32 kb/s LD-CELP was essentially equal to that of the 65 kb/s standard (G.722) CCITT wideband coder
