Abstract: A method to reduce memory requirements for a packet loss concealment algorithm in the event of packet loss in a receiver of pulse code modulated voice signals. A voice playout unit in the receiver shares its nominal delay buffer with a history buffer of a packet loss concealment algorithm up to a maximum limit described in a standard. This reduces or eliminates need to allocate memory for the history buffer. A history buffer can also be extended to retain an original portion of voice signal packets received prior to a packet loss as well as generated voice signals as they are generated. A scratch buffer is used as a working buffer and replaces the function of a pitch buffer.

Abstract: An overflow problem of LSF quantization in G.729 Annex B speech encoding which may lead to non-assignment of a codebook index. Preferred embodiments fix the problem with default or limited random variable assignments or flagging the overflow and adjusting the frame encoding such as by limiting spectral components or changing quantization targets.
