Recent advances in speech coding have made wideband coding feasible at the bit-rates sufficient for mobile communication. Here we propose a novel hybrid harmocic Code Excited Linear Prediction (CELP) scheme for highband coding of band-split scalable wideband codec, where the low-band (0-4 kHz) is critically subsampled and coded selectively using existing narrowband codecs such as 5.4 kbps and 6.3 kbps G.723.1, 8 kbps G.729, and 11.8 kbps G.729E. The high-band signal is divided into stationary mode (SM) and non-stationary mode (NSM) components based on its unique characteristics. In the SM portion, the highband signal is compressed using a multi-stage coding that combines the sinusoidal model and CELP. The first stage coding applies the damping factor matching pursuit (MP) algorithm without either the Over-Lap-Add (OLA) or smoothly interpolative synthesis schemes and the second stage utilizes CELP with the circular codebook. In the NSM portion, the high-band signals are coded by CELP with both pulse and circular codebooks by applying the complexity-reduced algorithm. To ensure scalability in highband coding, two enhancement layers are used to increase the number of pulses and control the quantizing sinusoidal parameter numbers. This paper describes the new algorithm and discuses novel techniques for efficient bandwidth wideband speech coding and subjective quality performance. For efficient bit allocation and enhanced performance, the pitch of the high-band codec is estimated using the quantized pitch parameter in low-band codec. An informal listening test, rated the subjective speech quality as comparable to that obtainable with G.722.2 as the fullband wideband codec and G.722.2 as the highband codec, the recent standardized band-split wideband codec.
