Abstract
The advent of VLSI technology is opening up new possibilities in the realisation of efficient speech processing algorithms significantly more complex than the universally accepted PCM method.
At the same time it is stimulating a bewildering range of new coding techniques. This is bound to have a significant effect on future communication networks and standards.
Selected illustrations of processing techniques and their classification are presented, together with key parameters such as information rate, complexity, delay and quality.
Possible applications in various telecommunications applications such as modems, integrated digital networks, store and forward systems are discussed.
