Improving the performance of Federal Standard 1016 (CELP)

We modify the Fed. Std. 1016 speech compression algorithm to include lag-indexed VQ of the pitch filter parameters. Using side by side paired comparison tests and untrained listeners, we compare the subjective performance of FS-1016 before and after the modifications.
