In the era of third-generation (3G) wireless personal communications standards - despite the emergence of broadband access network standard proposals, the most important mobile radio services are still based on voice communications. Even when the predicted surge of wireless data and Internet services becomes a reality, voice remains the most natural means of human communication, although this may be delivered via the Internet, predominantly after compression. "Voice Compression and Communications" is dedicated to voice compression issues while covering the aspects of error resilience, coding delay, implementation complexity and bitrate, characterizing many different speech codes incorporated in source-sensitivity matched wireless transceivers. Following the overview of the recent history of speech compression and communications, the book provides the reader with an historical perspective, commencing with a rudimentary introduction to communications aspects, since the expected performance of various speech codes are studied in the context of a full wireless transceiver.
"Voice Compression and Communications" provides detailed exposure to wireless voice communications, treating compression, channel coding and wireless transmission as a joint subject.
