Abstract
A CELP encoder is provided that optimizes excitation vector-related parameters in a more efficient manner than the encoders of the prior art. In one embodiment, a CELP encoder (400) optimizes excitation vector-related parameters (τ, β, λ, and η) based on a computed correlation matrix (Ζ'), which matrix is in turn based on a filtered first excitation vector (yτ(n)). The encoder then evaluates error minimization criteria based on at least in part on a target signal (xw(n)), which target signal is based on an input signal (s(n)), and the correlation matrix and generates a excitation vector-related index in response to the error minimization criteria. In another embodiment, a CELP encoder (600) is provided that is capable of jointly optimizing and/or sequentially optimizing multiple excitation vector-related parameters by reference to a joint search weighting factor (μ), thereby invoking an optimal error minimization process.
