Enhanced Voice Post Processing Using Voice Decoder Guidance Indicators

TL;DR

This paper proposes a novel method that leverages voice decoder guidance to enhance voice quality in communication systems by integrating voice enhancement and coding functions.

Contribution

It introduces a new approach that combines voice enhancement and decoding information to improve voice quality, which is a novel integration of these traditionally separate functions.

Findings

Improved voice quality through the proposed method

Effective utilization of voice decoder guidance indicators

Potential for future enhancements based on initial results

Abstract

Voice enhancement and voice coding are imperative and important functions in a voice-communication system. However, both functions are commonly treated independently, even though both utilize similar features of the underlying signals. Our proposal is to leverage information from one function to the benefit of the other. Specifically, our proposed changes are focused on changes to the voice enhancement at the downlink side and utilizing information of the voice decoding. Preliminary results show that such an approach results in improved quality. Additionally, suggestions are provided on future extensions of the proposed concept.
