An implementation of a variable rate codec based on ADPCM with multi-quantizer (ADPCM-MQ)

TLDR
The authors propose a method for the combined use of constant SNR (signal/noise ratio) and constant noise to determine optimum bit/rate control of the VRC.
Abstract
Discusses an implementation of an experimental variable bit rate codec (VRC) based on adaptive differential pulse code modulation with a multiquantizer (ADPCM-MQ) that processes speech signals at 16 kb/s to 48 kb/s The authors propose a method for the combined use of constant SNR (signal/noise ratio) and constant noise to determine optimum bit/rate control of the VRC This algorithm was implemented using six digital signal processor chips The average bit rate of the prototype codec for the telephone voice channel was about 23 kb/s, including supplementary information, and a quality better than that specified in G721 (32 kb/s ADPCM) was observed >

Method and apparatus for selecting an encoding rate in a variable rate vocoder

TL;DR: In this paper, an apparatus for selecting an encoding rate for an input signal (S(n) consisting of an audio signal detection device for determining whether audio signal is present in each frequency subband of the input signal, and an encoder-decoder system for selecting the encoding rate in accordance with the determination as to whether audio signals are present in the subband.

Digital coding of speech waveforms: PCM, DPCM, and DM quantizers

TL;DR: It is pointed out that error waveforms in speech quantization cannot be regarded as additive white noise, in general, and that for finer assessments of speech coders, either relative or absolute, one needs to supplement SNR-based observations with corrections for subjective and perceptual factors.

Embedded DPCM for Variable Bit Rate Transmission

TL;DR: In this paper, an adaptive DPCM (ADPCM) encoder and decoder is proposed for variable rate transmission with variable bit rates up to any desired maximum. But the decoded analog signal is substantially noisier than the output of an ADPCM encoder with D = E - C bits/sample.

Embedded DPCM for variable bit rate transmission

TL;DR: Within the bit stream of an embedded digital code is a stream that can be decoded to produce a reasonable replica of the analog source signal, and with minor modifications to the encoder and decoder, DPCM becomes an embedded code.

Variable rate coding of speech

TL;DR: It is shown that by careful design the algorithm can be made to be as robust to channel errors as that of a fixed rate adpcm coder.
