DSP implementations of sophisticated speech codecs

Hardware implementation aspects of sophisticated speech codecs are addressed. The major points discussed are approaches to implementation of the sophisticated speech codecs, requirements for DSP (digital signal-processing) implementation of the codecs, such as the type of arithmetic processing and the necessity of bit-level specifications, and codec implementation and DSP programming techniques for three specific coding algorithms: 32-kb/s ADPCM (adaptive digital pulse code modulation), 64-kb/s (7 kHz) SB (subband)-ADPCM, and 16-kb/s APC-AB (adaptive predictive coding with adaptive but allocation) codecs.<
