Abstract: This paper presents a new scalable coder based on ITU-T G.723.1standard which is one of the most famous speech coders for VoIPapplications. In order to support both bit-rate scalability andbandwidth scalability, the proposed coder adopts a split-bandapproach, where the input signal, sampled at 16 kHz, is decomposed into two equal frequency bands. The lower-band speech is coded with the standard coder such as G.723.1 coder. In addition, the low-band enhancement layer for the lower-band speech improves the perceptual quality of decoded speech by employing additional coding units based on cascaded codebook approach. The higher-band signal is encoded using an MDCT-based transform coding scheme. The proposed coder at a bit-rate of 19.4 kbit/s provides better than ITU 24 kbit/s G.722.1 coder, while it also has interoperability with G.723.1.
