A 2.4 kbit/s MELP coder candidate for the new U.S. Federal Standard

This paper describes our enhanced mixed excitation linear prediction (MELP) speech coder which is a candidate for the new U.S. Federal Standard at 2.4 kbits/s. The new coder is based on the MELP model, and it uses a number of enhancements as well as efficient quantization algorithms to improve performance while maintaining a low bit rate. In addition, the coder has been optimized for performance in acoustic background noise and in channel errors, as well as for efficient real-time implementation. Listening tests confirm that the enhanced 2.4 kbit/s MELP coder performs as well as the higher bit rate 4.8 kbit/s FS1016 CELP standard.
