Hi all, I am intend to learn much about variable rate speech coding, and I take QCELP (Qualcomm CELP) to study.I am looking for any good reference that have complete describe about the concept and algorithm of this vocoder. Especially I need the source code. If you have or know the information where I can find it on the web, please let me know. (I have trying to search it on the Internet, but no result). Thanks alot.

Hi all, if anyone interested in the source code of the QCELP coder, go to: ftp://ftp.qualcomm.com/pub/vocoder/IS96a/ Check the web site of Qualcomm (www.qualcomm.com) to find more info about the latest wave of VBR vocoders. For an excellent overview of VBR speech coding check: A. Das, E. Paksoy, and A. Gersho," Multimode and Variable-Rate Coding of Speech", Chapter 7, Speech Coding and Syntehsis Book, Eds. W.B. Kleijn and K.K. Pliawal, 1995, Elsiver Science. There you can find lists of major work in developing VBR coders including QCELP. However, check the ICASPP 97 and other latest ICASSP conferences (ICASSP 99 for example) for some new good work in VBR speech coding. Currently, the TIA association is developing a new set of VBR speech coders for CDMA under the name "Selectable Mode Vocoder (SMV)". Do not forget to read about the CDMA Enhanced Variable Rate Vocoder (EVRC), and the Q13 CDMA vocoder. Good luck. ---------------------------- Khaled El-Maleh Department of Electrical & Computer Engineering McGill University 3480 University St. Montreal Quebec H3A 2A7 Canada Telephone: (514) 398-5233 (O) Fax : (514) 398-4470 On Wed, 13 Oct 1999 wrote: > > Hi all, > > I am intend to learn much about variable rate speech coding, and I take > QCELP (Qualcomm CELP) to study.I am looking for any good reference that > have complete describe about the concept and algorithm of this > vocoder. > > Especially I need the source code.

Does somebody can point to good (easy) references to EVRC? Thanks, Sara khaled el-maleh <> wrote: > Do not forget to read about the CDMA Enhanced Variable Rate Vocoder > (EVRC), and the Q13 CDMA vocoder. > |

Hi .. If someone wants to read the details of the EVRC coder, then he has to contact the TIA (North America Telecommunications Industry Association) to buy the EVRC document: TIA/EIA, TR45 (1996). Enhanced variable rate codec, speech service option 3 for wideband spread spectrum systems, Interim Standard IS-127. The only reference that talks about the EVRC coder is a recent article from Lucent (key designer of the EVRC coder) that appeared in the May 1999 issue of the International Journal of Speech Technology: M. C. Recchione, "The Enhanced Variable Rate Coder: Toll Quality Speech for CDMA", International Journal of Speech Technology, Vol. 2, No. 4, May 1999, pp. 305-315. (Kluwer Academic Publishers) Note: This is a recommended issue for the speech coding community as it is a speical issue containing good number of state-of-the-art speech coding papers written by known names in the field. ----------------------------- Khaled El-Maleh Department of Electrical & Computer Engineering McGill University 3480 University St. Montreal Quebec H3A 2A7 Canada Telephone: (514) 398-5233 (O) Fax : (514) 398-4470 ----------------------------- On Mon, 18 Oct 1999 wrote: > Does somebody can point to good (easy) references to EVRC? > > Thanks, > > Sara > khaled el-maleh <> wrote: > > > Do not forget to read about the CDMA Enhanced Variable Rate Vocoder > > (EVRC), and the Q13 CDMA vocoder. > > > > > ----------------------------- Khaled El-Maleh Department of Electrical & Computer Engineering McGill University 3480 University St. Montreal Quebec H3A 2A7 Canada Telephone: (514) 398-5233 (O) Fax : (514) 398-4470 |
