Abstract

In this paper we describe a noisy channel finite-state vector quantizer (FSVQ) for quantizing speech LSP parameters. First we show that under noiseless channel conditions, the ordinary FSVQ of [1], when used to encode the LSP parameters, achieves a 1 dB average spectral distortion at 24 bits/frame; each LSP vector is split into 3 subvectors and an 8-state FSVQ is used for each subvector. However, when channel noise is present, the ordinary FSVQ performance degrades drastically. Therefore, we describe a modified FSVQ system that is designed taking into account the channel noise. It is shown by means of simulations that the new system is robust to channel noise and outperforms the channel-optimized VQ [2] and the channel-matched multi-stage VQ of [3] by saving 1.5-4 bits/vector, depending on the level of noise in the channel.
