Patent ID: 8024182

Claim:
A process comprising: A. receiving audible speech; B. converting the audible speech into digital data representing the audible speech in each of successive ten millisecond frames, for each frame the converting including forming Linear Prediction Coding data, Long Term Prediction lag data, parity check data, adaptive and fixed codebook gain data, and fixed codebook pulse data; C. placing the digital data representing the audible speech for the frames into sequential packets, with each packet having a first stage and a second stage, the placing including: i. arranging data from a first frame of speech in the first stage of a first packet; and ii. arranging data from the first frame of speech in the second stage of a second packet, which follows immediately after the first packet, the data in the second stage including only Linear Prediction Coding data, Long Term Prediction lag data, parity check data, adaptive and fixed codebook gain data, and a first few of the fixed codebook pulse data; and D. sending the first and second packets of data sequentially over one of a Voice Over Packet network and a Voice Over Internet Protocol network.
