본 논문에서는 차량 환경에서 핸즈프리 단말기를 위한 잔향반향제거 방법을 제안한다. 제안된 방법은 기존의 음향반향제거와 잡음제거의 결합구조에 근거하며, 음성신호의 스펙트럼 특성을 배경잡음화함으로써 잔여 반향제거 성능을 향상시킨다. 일반적으로 음향반향제거에서 실제 충격응답보다 적은 차수의 적응필터를 이용할 경우 잔여반향의 전력이 증가하며, 잡음제거기법을 적용하여 잔여반향성분을 줄일 수 있다. 음성신호가 입력되는 음향반향제거기의 잔여반향을 효과적으로 제거하기 위해 음성신호의 AR 스펙트럼에 따른 역필터링을 수행함으로써 잡음제거기에 의한 잔여반향제거 성능을 향상시킬 수 있다. 제안된 기법은 현재 상용화되고 있는 이동통신용 음성부호화기에 포함된 잡음제거기법과 결합하여 사용할 경우 매우 적은 부가 계산량만으로 구현할 수 있다.

Unified Speech and Audio Coding (USAC) is the speech/audio codec with the best quality, approved on Final Draft International Standard (FDIS) at MPEG meeting in 2011. Since MPEG conventionally standardizes only the decoder, it is not easy to study on the encoder technologies. Furthermore, Reference Model(RM) shows extremely poor performance. To solve these problems, the open source project(JAME) proposes the methods to make the improved performance of main encoder technologies in USAC. Especially, this paper introduces the encoder modules: the signal classifier for selective operation between two coders, the psychoacoustic model in frequency domain, and window transition technology. Finally, the results of verification test for FDIS and the performance of Common Encoder are appended.

This paper presents the real-time implementation of an AMR (Adaptive Multi Rate) vocoder which is included in the asynchronous International Mobile Telecommunication (IMT)-2000 mobile ASIC. The implemented AMR vocoder is a multi-rate coder with 8 modes operating at bit rates from 12.2kbps down to 4.75kbps. Not only the encoder and the decoder as basic functions of the vocoder are implemented, but VAD (Voice Activity Detection), SCR (Source Controlled Rate) operation and frame structuring blocks for the system interface are also implemented in this vocoder. The DSP for AMR vocoder implementation is a 16bit fixed-point DSP which is based on the TeakLite core and consists of memory block, serial interface block, register files for the parallel interface with CPU, and interrupt control logic. Through the implementation, we reduce the maximum operating complexity to 24MIPS by efficiently managing the memory structure. The AMR vocoder is verified throughout all the test vectors provided by 3GPP, and stable operation in the real-time testing board is also proved.

Turbo Code는 반복 복호알고리듬을 사용함으로써 백색 가우시안 잡음(AWGN)채널 환경에서 Shannon의 한계에 가까운 성능을 보이는 오류정정 방식으로 제안되었다. 그러나 Turbo code는 반복복호로 인해 매복호시마다 큰 인터리버와 복호기를 거쳐야 하기 때문에 수신과정에서 커다란 지연을 요구하게 된다. 따라서 차세대 무선 멀티미디어 통신에서 실시간으로 음성서비스나 화상서비스를 제공하는데 어려움이 많다. 본 논문에서는 기존의 터보 복호기를 변형하여 매 복호시 각각의 복호기에서 출력시퀀스를 발생시킴으로서 반복 복호 횟수를 줄이는 방법을 제안하였다. 이렇게 함으로서 기존의 Turbo code가 갖는 성능은 크게 변화시키지 않으면서 각각의 정보프레임을 가변적으로 복호함으로서 반복복호로 인한 시간 지연을 줄일수 있었다.

Most A/D converters which encode baseband signals of several magahertz band width to accuracies such as 8 bits are complez and therefore expensive. This letter suggests that a simple fast digital encoder can be formed the combination of V.C.O. and digital discriminator, automatically elimnating the complex logic process of conventional fast baseband A/D converters. The techique is suitable for encoding video signals to 8bits.

The conventional CELP(code excited linear prediction) type vocoder has no V/UV(voiced/unvoiced) classifier. So, the unvoiced speech is processed like the voiced speech. In this paper, to reduce the bit rate, we propose a new V/UV decision algorithm minimized error rate and preprocessing computation. This V/UV classifier use the LSP(line spectrum pair) parameter which is acquired spectrum analysis process in CELP vocoders. Applying this method to the 5.3kbps ACELP(algebraic code excited linear prediction) in the G.723.1, we can get the transmission bits rate reduction of 6% approximately without degradation of speech quality.

Code excited Linear Prediction(CELP) vocoder exhibits good performance at data rates below 4.8 kbps. The major drawback of CELP type coders is their large amount of computation. In this paper, we propose a new pitch searching method that preseves the quality of the CELP vodocer reducing computational complexity. The basic idea is that pregrasps preliminary pitches about signal and performs pitch search only about the preliminary pitches. Applying the proposed method to the CELP vocoder, we can reduce complexity about 90% in th pitch search.

In this paper we have designed and implemented in real time a simple, efficient and flexible AOPCM cosec using a high speed digital processor, NEC 7720. For ADPCM system, we have used an instantaneous adaptive quantizer and a first-order fixed predictor. The software for NEC 7720 has been developed and it was found that the NEC 7720 was capable of performing the entire ADPCAt algorithm for 4 channels in real time as optimizing the program. Computer simulation has born made to investigate a computational accuracr of NEC 7720 and to de-termine necessary parameters for a ADPCM codec. Real telephone speech, RC-shaped Gaussian noise and 1004 Hz tone signal were used for simulation. In simulation, the parameters werc optimized from the computed SNR and the informal listening test. The developed software was tested in real time operation using a hardware emulator for NEC 7720. It took a maximum 23.25$\mu$s to encode one sample and 113.5$\mu$s, including all the necessary 1/0 operations, to encode 4 channels. In the case of decoding process, it took 24.75$\mu$s to decode one sample and 119.5$\mu$s to decode 4 channels.

최근 이동전화의 사용이 급격히 확산됨에 따라 핸즈프리 단말기를 이용한 전화통신의 필요성이 대두되고 있다. 차량내 핸즈프리 통신상황의 경우 근거리에 위치한 스피커와 마이크로폰의 커플링에 의해 발생하는 음향반향과 차량내에 존재하는 배경잡음은 통화 품질을 크게 저하시킨다. 본 논문에서는 이동통신에 적합한 음향반향제거기와 잡음제거기의 결합시스템을 제안하고, 이를 고정 소수점 DSP를 이용하여 실시간 구현하였다. 실시간 구현을 위하여 음향반향제거기에는 NLMS 알고리즘에 의해 구동되는 제한된 차수의 적응반향제거기법을 사용하였다. 잔여반향 및 배경잡음제거를 위해 CDMA방식의 셀룰라 이동통신에 사용되는IS-127 EVRC음성 부호화기의 표준안에 포함된 잡음제거방식을 사용하였다. 제안된 시스템을 16 비트 고정소수점DSP인 OAK DSP Core를 이용하여 약 18.6MIPS의 연산량으로 실시간 구현되었다.

Recently, four speech coding techniques, namely, SBC-APCM(sub-band coding adaptive PCM), RPE-LPC(regualr pulse excitation linear predictive codec), MPE-LTP(multi-pulse excited long-term prediction) and CELP (code-excited linear prediction) are proposed for digital mobile radio applications. However, a performance comparison of these coders in the Rayleigh fading environment has not been made yet. In this paper, the performances of the four spech coders in the random bit error and burst error environment are investigated. For the channel coding of SBC-APCM, RPE-LPC and MPE-LTP, the sensitivity of output bit stream is measured and a bit selective forward error correction is provided acording to the measured bit sensitivity. And for an attempt to improve the performance of CELP, an optimum quantizer is applied for transmitting scalar quantities in CELP. However, an improvement over the conventional approach is found to be negligible. For the channel coding of CELP, Reed-Solomon code, Golay code, convolutional code of rate 1/2 shows the best performance. Finally, from the simulation results, it is concluded that CELP is the best candidate for digital mobile radio and is followed by MPE-LTP, SBC-APCM and RPE-LPC.
