초록

본 논문에서는 SMV와 AMR 음성부호화기를 위한 상호부호화 알고리즘을 제안한다. 각기 다른 통신망에서 음성부호화기간의 효율적인 연동을 위해 가장 간단한 방법인 tandem 방식이 있지만 긴 지연시간과 많은 연산량, 그리고 음질 저하의 문제점들을 해결하기위해 상호부호화 방법을 사용한다. 제안하는 상호부호화 알고리즘은 LSP (Line Spectral Pairs) 변환, 피치 변환, 그리고 고속 고정 코드북 탐색을 수행한다. 실험 결과, $20\sim50%$의 적은 계산량과 $5\sim10$ ms의 지연 시간을 줄이면서도 동등한 음질을 확인할 수 있었다.

In this paper, a transcoding algorithm for SMV and AMR speech coder is proposed. In the application requiring the interoperability of different networks, two speech coders must work together with the structure of cascaded connection, tandem. The tandem which is one of the simplest methods has several problems such as long delay, high complexity and the quality degradation due to twice complete encoding/decoding process. These problems can be solved by using transcoding algorithm. The proposed algorithm consists of LSP (Line Spectral Pair) conversion, pitch delay conversion, and fast fixed codebook search. The evaluation results show that the proposed algorithm achieves equivalent speech quality to that of tandem with reduced computational complexity and delay.
