Methods and systems for filtering synthesized or reconstructed speech are implemented. A filter based on a set of linear predictive coding (LPC) coefficients is constructed by transforming the LPC coefficients to the pseudo-cepstrum, a domain existing between LPC domain and the line spectral frequency (LSF) domain. The resulting filter can emphasize spectral frequencies associated with various formants, or spectral peaks, of an inverse transfer function relating to the LPC coefficients, and can de-emphasize spectral frequencies associated with various spectral minima, or spectral valleys, of the inverse transfer function relating to the LPC coefficients.

A feature extraction process for use in a wireless communication system provides automatic speech recognition based on both spectral envelope and voicing information. The shape of the spectral envelope is used to determine the LSPs of the incoming bitstream and the adaptive gain coefficients and fixed gain coefficients are used to generate the âvoicedâ and âunvoicedâ feature parameter information.

A frame erasure concealment technique for a bitstream-based feature extractor in a speech recognition system particularly suited for use in a wireless communication system operates to “delete” each frame in which an erasure is declared. The deletions thus reduce the length of the observation sequence, but have been found to provide for sufficient speech recognition based on both single word and “string” tests of the deletion technique.

A frame erasure concealment device and method that is based on reestimating gain parameters for a code excited linear prediction (CELP) coder is disclosed. During operation, when a frame in a stream of received data is detected as being erased, the coding parameters, especially an adaptive codebook gain gand a fixed codebook gain g, of the erased and subsequent frames can be reestimated by a gain matching procedure. By using this technique with the IS-641 speech coder, it has been found that the present invention improves frame erasure concealment device and method improve the speech quality under various channel conditions, compared with a conventional extrapolation-based concealment algorithm.
