Abstract (en)

The method of the present invention comprises the following steps: receiving a first coded speech signal using the first CELP format and including at least a first pitch parameter; decoding the received first coded speech signal to a decoded pcm speech signal; detecting a voiced level of the pcm speech signal within a predetermined time window; determining, if the pcm speech signal is a voiced speech signal or an unvoiced speech signal dependent on at least a first parameter; if the pcm speech signal is voiced, performing a closed loop search process which receives at least the first pitch parameter and estimates a second pitch parameter for the second CELP format dependent on at least the first pitch parameter; and if the pcm speech signal is unvoiced, copying the first pitch parameter as the second pitch parameter for the second CELP format.
