Linear prediction of subband signals

The performance of linear prediction of fullband and subband signals is described in terms of the respective prediction gain. The subband prediction gain is characterized in terms of the fullband signal power spectral density and the frequency response of the subband filters. For Gaussian fullband signals, the asymptotic subband prediction gain can never be larger than the asymptotic fullband prediction gain. Simulation results compare fixed and adaptive fullband and subband prediction gains for Gaussian sources and speech. For speech, the subband prediction gain can exceed the fullband prediction gain
