Abstract

We describe a low bit rate speech codec based on the RCELP paradigm and designed as a candidate for GSM-AMR. The relaxation of the waveform-matching constraint in the RCELP model allows for reducing the bit rate without affecting the speech quality. New efficient quantization methods for the LSF and gain parameters coupled with some algorithmic improvements result in a high quality speech codec at bit rates as low as 4.55 kbit/s. Subjective tests show encouraging results in terms of quality and robustness under various operating conditions.
