Claim One:
1. A method for transmitting information that relates to gain information, which gain information is to be applied to excitation information that corresponds to a speech sample, wherein the gain information includes: a first gain value to be applied to a first excitation component, which first excitation component represents a first voice component of the speech sample, which first voice component has a first energy value; at least a second gain value to be applied to a second excitation component, which second excitation component represents a second voice component of the speech sample, which second voice component has a second energy value; the method comprising the steps of: A) providing a speech sample; B) digitizing the speech sample to provide a frame of information comprising at least one subframe; C) determining total energy of the frame of information to provide a long term energy value; D) determining an overall energy value for a subframe of the at least one subframe; E) providing a first parameter, wherein the first parameter is proportional to the overall energy value and inversely proportional to the long term energy value; F) providing a second parameter, wherein the second parameter is proportional to the first energy value and inversely proportional to the overall energy value; and G) transmitting information related to the long term energy value and the first and second parameters.
