  • Patent number: 11605394
    Abstract: A method for improving speech signal intelligibility is performed at a device. A speech signal is obtained. A correspondence between the speech signal and a respective user group among different user groups having distinct voice characteristics is identified. Pre-encoding signal augmentation is performed on the speech signal with a respective pre-augmentation filtering coefficient that corresponds to the respective user group to obtain a group-specific pre-augmented speech signal. The device encodes the pre-augmented speech signal for subsequent transmission through the voice communication channel. An encoded version of the pre-augmented speech signal has reduced loss of signal quality as compared to an encoded version of the speech signal that is obtained without the pre-encoding signal augmentation.

  • Patent number: 11227612
    Abstract: An audio frame loss recovery method and apparatus are disclosed. In one implementation, data from some but not all audio frames is included in a redundant frame. The audio frames whose data is not included in the redundant frame may include multiple audio frames but may not include more than two consecutive audio frames. Because not all audio frames are used in the redundant frame, the amount of information needed to be transmitted in the redundant frame is reduced. A lost audio frame during transmission may be recovered from either the redundant frame when the redundant frame incudes data of the lost frame, or from at least one neighboring frame of the lost frame derived from either the redundant frame or the successfully transmitted audio frames when the redundant frame does not include data of the lost frame.
