Adaptive multi-rate wideband (AMR-WB) speech codecs have been widely used for high speech quality in modern mobile communication systems, e.g., handheld mobile devices. Nevertheless, a major handicap is that a remarkable computational load is required in the vector quantization (VQ) of immittance spectral frequency (ISF) coefficients of an AMR-WB coding. In view of this, a two-stage search algorithm is presented in this paper as an efficient way to reduce the computational complexity of ISF quantization in AMR-WB coding. At stage 1, an input vector is assigned to a search subspace in an efficient manner using the binary search space-structured VQ (BSS-VQ) algorithm, and a codebook search is performed over the subspace at stage 2 using the iterative triangular inequality elimination (ITIE) approach. Through the use of the codeword rejection mechanisms equipped in both stages, the computational load can be remarkably reduced. As compared with the original version of the BSS-VQ algorithm, the upgraded version provides a computational load reduction of up to 51%. Furthermore, this work is expected to satisfy the energy saving requirement when implemented on an AMR-WB codec of mobile devices. Full article

The adaptive multi-rate wideband (AMR-WB) speech codec is widely used in modern mobile communication systems for high speech quality in handheld devices. Nonetheless, a major disadvantage is that vector quantization (VQ) of immittance spectral frequency (ISF) coefficients takes a considerable computational load in the AMR-WB coding. Accordingly, a binary search space-structured VQ (BSS-VQ) algorithm is adopted to efficiently reduce the complexity of ISF quantization in AMR-WB. This search algorithm is done through a fast locating technique combined with lookup tables, such that an input vector is efficiently assigned to a subspace where relatively few codeword searches are required to be executed. In terms of overall search performance, this work is experimentally validated as a superior search algorithm relative to a multiple triangular inequality elimination (MTIE), a TIE with dynamic and intersection mechanisms (DI-TIE), and an equal-average equal-variance equal-norm nearest neighbor search (EEENNS) approach. With a full search algorithm as a benchmark for overall search load comparison, this work provides an 87% search load reduction at a threshold of quantization accuracy of 0.96, a figure far beyond 55% in the MTIE, 76% in the EEENNS approach, and 83% in the DI-TIE approach.

An adaptive multi-rate wideband (AMR-WB) code is a speech codec developed on the basis of an algebraic code-excited linear-prediction (ACELP) coding technique, and has a double advantage of low bit rates and high speech quality. This coding technique is widely used in modern mobile communication systems for a high speech quality in handheld devices. However, a major disadvantage is that a vector quantization (VQ) of immittance spectral frequency (ISF) coefficients occupies a significant computational load in the AMR-WB encoder. Hence, this paper presents a triangular inequality elimination (TIE) algorithm combined with a dynamic mechanism and an intersection mechanism, abbreviated as the DI-TIE algorithm, to remarkably improve the complexity of ISF coefficient quantization in the AMR-WB speech codec. Both mechanisms are designed in a way that recursively enhances the performance of the TIE algorithm. At the end of this work, this proposal is experimentally validated as a superior search algorithm relative to a conventional TIE, a multiple TIE (MTIE), and an equal-average equal-variance equal-norm nearest neighbor search (EEENNS) approach. With a full search algorithm as a benchmark for search load comparison, this work provides a search load reduction above 77%, a figure far beyond 36% in the TIE, 49% in the MTIE, and 68% in the EEENNS approach.
