QCELP: A Variable Rate Speech Coder for CDMA Digital Cellular

  • Chapter

Part of the book series: The Springer International Series in Engineering and Computer Science ((SECS,volume 224))

Abstract

Digital cellular telephone systems require efficient encoding of speech to achieve capacity improvements required of the next generation of cellular systems. The use of a variable rate speech coder can reduce the average data rate required to transmit conversational speech by a factor of two or more, while providing many other advantages. This reduction in average data rate leads to a factor of two increase in the capacity of a Code Division Multiple Access, or CDMA, based digital cellular telephone system by decreasing the mutual interference among users. This chapter describes “QCELP,” a variable rate speech coder which has been selected as the speech coding algorithm for the TIA North American digital cellular standard based on CDMA technology.
