Patent number: 6606593Abstract: An improved method for generating comfort noise (CN) in a mobile terminal operating in a discontinuous transmission (DTX) mode. In one embodiment the invention provides an improved method for comfort noise generation, in which a random excitation is modified by a spectral control filter so that the frequency content of comfort noise and background noise become similar. In another embodiment the transmitter identifies speech coding parameters that are not representative of the actual background noise, and replaces the identified parameters with parameters having a median value. In this manner the non-representative parameters do not skew the result of an averaging operation.Type: GrantFiled: August 10, 1999Date of Patent: August 12, 2003Assignee: Nokia Mobile Phones Ltd.Inventors: Kari Jarvinen, Pekka Kapanen, Vesa Ruoppila, Jani Rotola-Pukkila
