Speech processing and speech transmission technology are expandingfields of active research. New challenges arise from the 'anywhere,anytime' paradigm of mobile communications, the ubiquitous use ofvoice communication systems in noisy environments and theconvergence of communication networks toward Internet basedtransmission protocols, such as Voice over IP. As a consequence,new speech coding, new enhancement and error concealment, and newquality assessment methods are emerging.
Advances in Digital Speech Transmission provides anup-to-date overview of the field, including topics such as speechcoding in heterogeneous communication networks, wideband coding,and the quality assessment of wideband speech.
* Provides an insight into the latest developments in speechprocessing and speech transmission, making it an essentialreference to those working in these fields
* Offers a balanced overview of technology and applications
* Discusses topics such as speech coding in heterogeneouscommunications networks, wideband coding, and the qualityassessment of the wideband speech
* Explains speech signal processing in hearing instruments andman-machine interfaces from applications point of view
* Covers speech coding for Voice over IP, blind source separation,digital hearing aids and speech processing for automatic speechrecognition
Advances in Digital Speech Transmission serves as anessential link between the basics and the type of technology andapplications (prospective) engineers work on in industry labs andacademia. The book will also be of interest to advanced students,researchers, and other professionals who need to brush up theirknowledge in this field.

Dr. Ing. Rainer Martin is a Professor of InformationTechnology at Ruhr University and Head of the Institute ofCommunication Acoustics, Bochum, Germany. His research interestsare signal processing for voice communication systems, acoustics,and human-machine interfaces. He has worked on algorithms for noisereduction, acoustic echo cancellation, microphone arrays, andspeech recognition. He is coauthor of the book Vary/Martin"Digital Speech Transmission", John Wiley, 2006.
Ulrich Heute is a Professor for circuit and system theoryat Christian-Albrechts University, Kiel. His research interestsinclude digital signal processing, filters and filter banks, andspectral analysis, with applications in medical, audio, and,especially, speech-signal processing (combined source and channelcoding, enhancement, modeling, speaker characterization, andinstrumental quality assessment).
Christiane Antweiler is a senior scientist at theInstitute of Communication Systems and Data Processing of the RWTHAachen University. Her interests are the design and implementationof digital signal and speech processing algorithms for real-timeapplications, and her special focus lies on speech coding forcellular mobile radio and the enhancement of digital speechsignals. Furthermore she is interested in algorithms for systemidentification, in adaptive filter theory and in digital signalprocessing algorithms for medical diagnostics.
