TLDR
The presented concept introduces up to 50% reduction in average bit rate without any degradation in speech quality to increase the system capacity in conversational services as well as storage size in messaging type of applications.Abstract:
This paper presents a source based rate adaptation concept for AMR wideband speech codec. The source based rate adaptation algorithm selects the multi rate codec mode based on the input speech characteristics and coding parameters to minimise the average bit rate. The presented concept introduces up to 50% reduction in average bit rate without any degradation in speech quality. The benefit of source based adaptation is in increasing the system capacity in conversational services as well as storage size in messaging type of applications.read more
