Abstract

We propose a new 6.1 to 13.3-kb/s speech codec called variable rate code-excited linear prediction (VR-CELP) for adaptive multi-rate (AMR) transmission over mobile radio channels such as GSM or UMTS. The AMR concept allows to operate with almost wireline speech quality for poor channel conditions and better quality for good channel conditions. This is achieved by dynamically splitting the gross bit rate of the transmission system between source and channel coding according to the current channel conditions. Thus the source coding scheme must be designed for seamless switching between rates without annoying artifacts. To enhance the transmission quality under very poor channel conditions, a new powerful error concealment strategy based on estimation theory is applied.
