Patent ID: 7305337

Claim:
A speech decoding method for speech decoder, the decoder having an impulse train generator 21 for receiving the pitch cycle parameter to generate an impulse train, a first random noise generator 22 for generating a random noise; when the sound/soundless determining unit 17 determines whether the speech is with sound, then the random noise and said impulse train are sent to an adder to generate the excitation source; a second random noise generator 23 for generating a random noise; when the sound/soundless determining unit 17 determines the speech is without sound, then the random noise directly represents the excitation source; a linear spectrum pair parameter interpolation (LSP Interpolation) 24 receiving said linear spectrum pair parameter, and interpolating the weighted index between the linear spectrum pair parameter of the quantized frame and the linear spectrum pair parameter of the previous quantized frame; a linear spectrum pair parameter to a linear predictive coefficient parameter (LSP to LPC) filter 25 for finding the ten-scale linear predictive coefficient of each synthesized frame by said interpolated linear spectrum pair parameter; a synthetic filter for multiplying said ten-scale linear predictive coefficient with the past 10 speech signals and adding the speech excitation source and the gain parameter to obtain the synthesized speech corresponsive to the current speech excitation signal; the method comprising the steps of:, dividing each frame into 4 sub-frames, and a ten-scale linear predictive coefficient being interpolated between a linear spectrum pair parameter of a current frame and a linear spectrum pair parameter of a previous frame for each synthesized sub-frame, and the solution being found by reversing the procedure by using the impulse train generator; furthermore, if the excitation source being sound, then the mixed excitation being adopted and composed of the impulse train generated by the pitch cycle and the random noises by using the first random noise generator 22 ; if the excitation source having no sound, then only the random noise being used for the representation by using the second random noise generator 23 ; moreover, after the excitation source with sound or without sound being generated, the excitation source must pass through a smooth filter to improve the smoothness of the excitation source; finally, by using the synthetic filter, the ten-scale linear predictive coefficient being multiplied by the past 10 synthesized speech signals and added to the foregoing speech excitation source signal and gain to obtain the synthesized speech corresponsive to the current speech excitation source signal.
