Abstract

A speech signal transmission apparatus multiplexes, packetizes, and sends first coded information coded in a normal state and second coded information used for improving the quality of decoded speech when a frame loss occurs. A first error calculating section calculates a first error signal between a target signal and a synthesized signal generated by an adaptive codebook, and a second error calculating section calculates a second error signal between the target signal and a synthesized signal generated by a fixed codebook. An error signal ratio calculating section calculates the ratio of the first error signal to the second error signal. A speech frame classifying section classifies a speech frame according to the magnitude of the ratio, and a decision section decides whether or not to multiplex the second coded information based on the classification result.

Claims (17)

1. A speech signal transmission apparatus that multiplexes and packetizes first coded information coded in a normal state and second coded information used for improving quality of decoded speech when a frame loss occurs, and sends the packetized information, the speech signal transmission apparatus comprising:

a CELP excitation generating section that comprises an adaptive codebook and a fixed codebook;

a first error calculating section that calculates a first error signal between a target signal and a synthesized signal generated by the adaptive codebook;

a second error calculating section that calculates a second error signal between the target signal and a synthesized signal generated by the fixed codebook;

an error signal ratio calculating section that calculates the ratio of the first error signal to the second error signal;

a speech frame classifying section that classifies a speech frame according to the magnitude of the ratio; and

a decision section that decides whether or not to multiplex the second coded information based on the classification result of the speech frame classifying section.

2. A speech signal transmission system comprising:

the speech signal transmission apparatus of claim 1 ; and

a speech signal reception apparatus that receives the packetized information from the speech signal transmission apparatus, depacketizes and demultiplexes the packetized information into the first coded information and the second coded information and carries out, when a packet loss occurs, concealing processing on the lost packet and carries out decoding processing on a packet received immediately after the lost packet using the second coded information.

3. A speech signal transmission method that multiplexes and packetizes first coded information coded in a normal state and second coded information used for improving quality of decoded speech when a frame loss occurs, and sends the packetized information, the speech signal transmission method comprising:

an excitation generating step of generating an excitation signal for a CELP speech coding processing using a synthesized signal generated by an adaptive codebook and a synthesized signal generated by a fixed codebook;

a first error calculating step of calculating a first error signal between a target signal and the synthesized signal generated by the adaptive codebook;

a second error calculating step of calculating a second error signal between the target signal and the synthesized signal generated by the fixed codebook;

an error signal ratio calculating step of calculating the ratio of the first error signal to the second error signal;

a speech frame classifying step of classifying a speech frame according to the magnitude of the ratio; and

a decision step of deciding whether or not to multiplex the second coded information based on the classification result of the speech frame classifying step.
