Abstract

We describe five types of speech coding systems with transmission bit rates spanning the range from 16,000 bits/sec (b/s) down to 100 b/s: adaptive predictive coders at 16 kb/s, baseband coders at 9.6 kb/s, linear predictive coders at 1.5–2.4 kb/s, clustering vocoders at 600–800 b/s, and diphone-based phonetic vocoders at 100 b/s. For each type of coders, we describe the coder configuration, discuss the important coding issues, and present the results available to date.
