Abstract
The authors explore the benefits of time-varying bit allocation to excitation and LPC (linear predictive coding) parameters for the case of codebook-excited LPC. The overall bit rate in the experiment was 4.8, 6.4, or 8.0 kb/s. In each case, permissible bit rates for the LPC component were 0, 24, 36, or 48 bits per frame, one of which was selected for each speech frame using a brute-force search maximum performance. Average SNR gains over conventional time-invariant methods were modest, on the order of 1 to 2 dB, but gains for certain speech segments were as high as 3 to 5 dB. Perceptually, gains due to variable bit allocation were most noticeable in the 6.4 kb/s system, especially with female speakers. However, even in this case, the benefits of flexible bit allocation were somewhat offset by distortions due to other inadequacies in the coding algorithm.<>Keywords
