Abstract
Abstract A method of coding a sampled speech signal vector in an analysis-by-synthesis coding procedure includes the step of forming an optimum excitation vector comprising a linear combination of a code vector from a fixed code book and a long term predictor vector. A first estimate of the long term predictor vector is formed in an open loop analysis. A second estimate of the-long term predictor vector is formed in a closed loop analysis. Finally, each of the first and second estimates are combined in an exhaustive search with each code vector of the fixed code book to form that excitation vector that gives the best coding of the speech signal vector.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 10
Claim 1
Independent Claim
170 words
A method of coding a speech signal vector, said method comprising the steps of: (a) sampling said speech signal; (b) forming a first estimate signal of a long term predictor vector in an open loop analysis using said sampled speech signal; (c) forming a second estimate signal of the long term predictor vector in a closed loop analysis using said sampled speech signal; (d) linearly combining the first estimate signal with each individual code vector in a fixed codebook and selecting a first excitation vector estimate which gives the best coding of the sampled speech signal vector; (e) linearly combining the second estimate signal with each individual code vector in the fixed codebook and selecting a second excitation vector estimate which gives the best coding of the sampled speech signal vector; (f) selecting from the first excitation vector estimate and the second excitation vector estimate an excitation vector that gives the best coding of the sampled speech signal vector; and (g) coding said sampled signal vector using said excitation vector.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
170 words
A method of coding a speech signal vector, said method comprising the steps of: (a) sampling said speech signal; (b) forming a first estimate signal of a long term predictor vector in an open loop analysis using said sampled speech signal; (c) forming a second estimate signal of the long term predictor vector in a closed loop analysis using said sampled speech signal; (d) linearly combining the first estimate signal with each individual code vector in a fixed codebook and selecting a first excitation vector estimate which gives the best coding of the sampled speech signal vector; (e) linearly combining the second estimate signal with each individual code vector in the fixed codebook and selecting a second excitation vector estimate which gives the best coding of the sampled speech signal vector; (f) selecting from the first excitation vector estimate and the second excitation vector estimate an excitation vector that gives the best coding of the sampled speech signal vector; and (g) coding said sampled signal vector using said excitation vector.
