Time - Domain Waveform Coders vary in time, adapting their characteristics dynamically to exploit signal due to vocal tract movement. This coding methods are popular for their simplicity, mostly at rates of 24- 32 kbit/s.
This is simplest time - adaptive technique, in which the quantizer step size D varies in proportion to the short - time average speech amplitude.
1. variable step size or gain:
2.the size of the time window:
3.feedforward or feedback adaption
- instantaneous - use short windows
DPCM transmitter encodes only the difference between successive samples and the receiver recovers the signal by integration.
- LTP employed
4.1 Adaptive - Quantizer Pulse Code Modulation APCM
The implementation of APCM:
- syllabic - use longer windows
4.2 Differential Pulse Code Modulation DPCM
Practical DPCM schemes incorporate a time - invariant short - term prediction process and it is called predictive differential coding.
4.3 Pitch - adaptive predictive coders APC
- forward adaption
