Block Constrained Trellis Coded Vector Quantization of LSF Parameters for Wideband Speech Codecs

In this paper, block constrained trellis coded vector quantization (BC‐TCVQ) is presented for quantizing the line spectrum frequency parameters of the wideband speech codec. Both a predictive structure and a safety‐net concept are combined into BC‐TCVQ to develop the predictive BC‐TCVQ. The performance of this quantization is compared with that of the linear predictive coding vector quantizer used in the AMR‐WB codec, demonstrating reductions in spectral distortion.
