QCELP-13K

CODEC OVERVIEW

QCELP13k is a variable rate speech codec standardized by TIA in 1997 and a revised description of this codec is given in TIA-733-A. QCELP13k operates on 14-bit speech signal sampled at 8 Khz and generates compressed bit-stream with four different rates namely full-rate (13.3kbps), half-rate (6.2kbps), quater-rate (2.7kbps) and eighth-rate (1kbps). It operates on frames of 20ms duration. Encoder selects appropriate rate depending on the speech activity: in full-rate mode 20ms frame encodes to 266 bits, in half-rate mode it encodes to 124 bits, in quarter-rate mode it encodes to 54 bits, and in eighth-rate mode it encodes to 20 bits. The speech coding algorithm is based on Code Excited Linear Prediction(CELP). QCELP13K is used in service option 17, a two-way voice communications between the base station and mobile station.
