wideband and audio coding as well as transmission. Finally, Part IV concludes the book with a range of very low rate encoding techniques, scanning a range of research- oriented topics. Covering fundamental concepts in a non-mathematical way before moving to detailed discussions of theoretical principles, future concepts and solutions to various specific wireless voice communication problems, this book will appeal to both advanced readers and those with a background knowledge of signal processing and communications. * Fully updated and revised second edition of "Voice Compression and Communications", expanded to cover Audio features * Includes two new chapters, on narrowband and wideband AMR coding, and MPEG audio coding * Addresses the new developments in the field of wideband speech and audio compression * Covers compression, error resilience and error correction coding, as well as transmission aspects, including cutting-edge turbo transceivers * Presents both the historic and current view of speech compression and communications.
