BLANK AND BURST TRANSMISSION OF DATA OVER ACTIVE SPEECH CHANNELS.

Abstract

To increase the capacity of blank and burst transmission of control information in cellular communication systems, we explore the application of a speech segment reconstruction technique. The transmitter selects a blanking interval on the basis of a segment classification measure, while the receiver replaces the missing speech with an estimate based on previously received speech. Using this approach, approximately 3 multiplied by (times) 2 data bursts per second, each lasting 16 ms, may be sent without degrading speech quality.
