Hybrid Commanding Delta Modulation with Silence Detection

묵음 검출 기능을 사용한 하이브리드 압신 델타 변조기

In this paper we exploit the use of the intermittent property of speech to reduce the transmission rate or to increase signal-to-quantization noise ratio (SQNR) in coding speech by hybrid companding data modulation (HCDM). In this scheme we detect silence in speech by a speech/silence discriminator. HCDM coding is done only for speech portion. For silence that is detected in evert block of 5 ms, only the information indicating that the Since the HCDM coder transmits bina교 signal synchronously at a fixed rate, the use of a buffer and its efficient control is essential. By using the HCDM with silence detection in coding speech, we could improve SONR by as much as 6 dB over the conventional HCDM or reduce the transmission rate by one third of the HCDM rate.

본 논물에서는 HCDM(hybrid companding delta modulation)을 사용하여 음성을 부호화할 때, 음성의 간헐성을 이용하여 전송속도를 줄이거나 잡음에 대한 신호비(SQNR)을 증가시키는 연구를 하였다. 음성부분과 묵음(silence)부분을 식별하는 판별기를 이용하여 음성의 묵음부분을 검출하며, 이때 음성부분에 대해서는 HCDM 부호화를 행한다. 음성을 5msec 간격으로 검사하여, 그때 검출되는 묵음부분에 대해서는 그 구간이 묵음이라는 정도만을 전송하며, 수신단에서는 이 정보를 이용하여 묵음부불을 재생한다. 그런데 HCDM 부호기는 2진 신호를 일정한 속도로 또 동기적으로 전송하기 때문에, 버퍼 (buffer)를 사용해야 하며 또한 그것을 효율적으로 제어해야 한다. 음성을 부호화할 때, 묵음검출 기능을 이용하는 HCDM 부호기를 사용하면, 재래의 HCDM 보다 잡음에 대한 신호비를 6dB 만큼 증가시킬 수 있거나, 전송속도를 1/3가량 줄일 수 있다.In this paper we exploit the use of the intermittent property of speech to reduce the transmission rate or to increase signal-to-quantization noise ratio (SQNR) in coding speech by hybrid companding data modulation (HCDM).
