Most Packet Loss Concealment (PLC) algorithms for predictive speech coders are based on extrapolating the excitation signal. This paper presents an alternative algorithm that extrapolates the speech waveform directly. The algorithm avoids the additional delay associated with the overlap-add operation in the ITU-T G.711 Appendix I by utilizing the "ringing" of the synthesis filter. It also performs special operations to update the filter states to prepare the predictive decoder for the next good frame. This algorithm achieves robust PLC performance when applied to the BroadVoice® standard coders. It can also be applied to other predictive speech coders.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
