Few general queries on AMR - subrata_etc - Apr 22 7:46:00 2002

hi friends,
I have just started working with AMR speech codec. I
would like post few general queries which are written
below....
1)What is the application of different bit
rates(12.2,10.2,7.95,7.40,6.70,5.90,5.15,4.75
kbits/sec in practical field?

2)After using the auto-correlation why we are using
lagging window??

3)By using Levinson- Durbin algorithm we are
transforming the coefficients into LP filter
coefficients. Then These LP filter coefficients are
transformed into LSP coefficients. But why do we need
to transform back the LSP filter coefficients into LP
filter coefficients?

4) What are the major functions in the standard AMR
encoder which effect the MIPS rating of the encoder?? Anyone experienced in this field please let me know
the answers of the above queries.
Thanks in advance

bye
Subrata Chatterjee

Re: Few general queries on AMR - Sameer Kibey - Apr 22 13:03:00 2002

hi Subrata!

i can try to answer the last 2 queries..

query 3.
LPC coefficients are the coeffts of the SYNTHESIS
filter. Since they are not suitable for direct
quantisation,they are converted to LSP coeffts to
guarantee the stability of reconstruction filter at
the receiver end.
now, once u get the LSP coeffts at the decoder, u need
to convert them back to LPC coefficients again because
that's how u will have a synthesis filter to
reconstruct the original speech.

query 4:
the best way to find out which functions take the max
time and contribute heavily in terms of MIPS is to
PROFILE the code... do this for all the test vectors.
this feature is available in VC and also in any other
processor's simulator/cross compiler.(the only problem
is that it is a very time consuming business... u will
find out soon!)

Sameer.

hello

as I know.. 1)

Diffrence rate is to adapt to nework status, not for the application 2)

LPC analysis does not provide accurate estimation of spectral envelope

for female speakers. To overcome this problem auto-correlations are

multiplied by lag window.

For more detail see,

Chapter 12 (2.2.2)
Speech Coding and Synthesis
Edited by W.B kleijn and K.K Paliwal

Elsevier

This is one of the bibles of the speech coding

3) Dynamic range of LPC so wide that It is difficult to quantize efficiently

That is reason why LPC is converted to LSP
