It is possible to transmit prediction coef … It is possible to transmit prediction coefficients directly. Quantizing predictive coefficients, however, needs many bits for maintaining the LPC spectral shape. It is also difficult to avoid the risk of instability of the coding system.
Partial auto correlation (PARCOR), invented by Dr. F. Itakura and Dr. S. Saito in 1972, enables an easy stability check but still needs many bits of quantization to maintain the LPC spectral shape. It is possible to reduce bit consumption for quantizing PARCOR by applying adaptive bit allocation and variable length coding schemes. Both schemes are, however, extremely sensitive to transmission channel errors.
LSP, an alternative representation technology for prediction coefficients, was invented by Dr. F. Itakura in 1975 [2]. It enables a simple stability check and can maintain the LPC spectrum shape with around 30% less bit consumption than PARCOR, even without using adaptive bit allocation or the variable length coding schemes [3] – [7]. This is because the quantization distortion of LSP has smaller and more natural influences on LPC spectral shape than PARCOR. Thus, small LPC spectral distortion is achieved by efficient coding of LSP in combination with prediction, interpolation, and vector quantization. n, interpolation, and vector quantization.

Auto-regressive linear prediction coding ( … Auto-regressive linear prediction coding (LPC) technology is one of the most powerful and useful speech coding tools [1]. Pioneering investigations of the technology were independently and simultaneously started by Dr. B. S. Atal and Dr. M. R. Schroeder at AT&T Bell Labs in 1966, and by Dr. F. Itakura and Dr. S. Saito at NTT (Nippon Telegraph and Telephone) Labs. Representation and quantization of the prediction coefficients with less bit consumption and smaller LPC spectral distortion are the most critical issues in the LPC framework. At the same time, speech coding for cellular phones needs to be robust against transmission bit errors in the radio-wave environment. Thus, the representation method of predictive coefficients needs to achieve smaller LPC spectral distortion with fewer quantization bits while maintaining robustness against transmission channel errors. tness against transmission channel errors.

Abstract: The invention process of the line spectrum air (LSP), one of the most important analysis technologies for speech signals, is described. Partial auto correlation (PARCOR) and LSP are alternative representation methods for a speech spectrum shape or a vocal tract shape. Both methods were invented at NTT Labs in 1972 and 1975, respectively. This paper covers the processes for these inventions, starting from the original invention of a speech analysis method based on maximum likelihood estimation in 1966.
