Vector Quantization using Speech Signal Property

In this paper, we have proposed a VQ algorithm which uses a generating order to make quantize feature vector of speech signal. The proposed algorithm inspects what codeword follows a(ter present codeword and adds new index to established codebook, when mapping speech signal. We present a variable bit rate for new codebook, and propose an efficient compressed way of information. In this way, the number of computation and the number of codewords to be searched are reduced considerably. The performance of the proposed VQ algorithm is evaluated by spectrum distortion measure and bit rate. The obtained spectrum distortion is reduced about 0.22 [db], and the bit rate is saved over 0.21 bit/frame.
