View Patent ↗A high quality speech is reproduced with a small data amount in speech coding and decoding for performing compression coding and decoding of a speech signal to a digital signal. In speech coding method according to a code-excited linear prediction (CELP) speech coding, a noise level of a speech in a concerning coding period is evaluated by using a code or coding result of at least one of spectrum information, power information, and pitch information, and various excitation codebooks are used based on an evaluation result.
1. A speech decoding method according to code-excited linear prediction (CELP) wherein the speech decoding method receives a coded speech including a linear prediction parameter code and an adaptive code, and a gain code, and synthesizes a speech using at least an excitation codebook, the speech decoding method comprising:
