New Nonuniform Transmission and ADPCM Coding System for Improving Both Signal-to-Noise Ratio and Bit Rate

Abstract

Abstract-Here we address the problem of adaptive digitaltransmission systems. New systems based on a nonuniform transmission (NUT) principle are proposed, utilizing a recently proposed algorithm for adaptive identification and reconstruction of AR processes subject to missing data. We propose a new adaptive sampling (nonuniform transmission) method combined with the adaptive reconstruction algorithm. A new NUT-ADPCM coding-decoding system is designed. The proposed system is demonstrated for audio-signal compression and compared to the ADPCM G.726 standard. The new system yields improvements in both signal-to-noise ratio and average bit rate.
