Abstract

This paper presents two low-complexity tools used for the new ITU-T recommendation G.711.0, which is the standard for lossless compression of G.711 (A-law/Mu-law logarithmic PCM) speech data. One is an algorithm for quantizing the PARCOR/reflection coefficients and the other is an estimation method for the optimal prediction order. Both tools are based on a criterion that minimizes the entropy of the prediction residual signals and can be implemented in a fixed-point low-complexity algorithm. G.711.0 with the developed practical tools will be widely used everywhere because it can losslessly reduce the data rate of G.711, the prevailing speech-coding technology.
