Abstract

See full text

In a differential PCM encoder, the problem of error perpetuation is solved by leaking a changing, rather than a fixed, fraction of the input signal to the differential PCM. The fraction leaked is sensitive to the characteristics of the signal. In one embodiment the fraction leaked is fixed for a frame in accordance with a chosen characteristic of the frame signal. In another embodiment, the fraction leaked is set in accordance with one function when a chosen characteristic of the frame signal exceeds a given level, and follows another function when the chosen characteristic does not exceed the chosen level. In a still another embodiment, the fraction leaked is set to one of two levels, based on a chosen characteristic of the frame signal.
