Abstract (en)

A mode discriminating circuit (300) extracts a feature quantity from a voice signal and makes mode discrimination. When the output of the circuit (300) represents a predetermined mode, a smoothing circuit (450) executes time-wise smoothing of at least either one of excitation gain, adaptive codebook gain, spectral parameter and excitation signal level. A multiplexer (400) locally reproduces a synthesized signal by using a signal obtained through the smoothing, and feeds out a combination of the outputs of spectral parameter calculating circuit, mode discriminating circuit, adaptive codebook circuit, excitation quantizing circuit and gain quantizing circuit. Thus it makes possible to provide a voice coding and a voice decoding apparatus, which permit good coded sound quality to be obtained for voice with background noise superimposed thereon even at a low bit rate. <IMAGE>
