4.Time - Domain Wavewform Coding


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.


4.1 Adaptive - Quantizer Pulse Code Modulation APCM

This is simplest time - adaptive technique, in which the quantizer step size D varies in proportion to the short - time average speech amplitude.
The implementation of APCM:

1. variable step size or gain:

2.the size of the time window:

3.feedforward or feedback adaption

- instantaneous - use short windows
- syllabic - use longer windows


4.2 Differential Pulse Code Modulation DPCM

DPCM transmitter encodes only the difference between successive samples and the receiver recovers the signal by integration.
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

- LTP employed
- forward adaption
