Detection of transient signals is generally done by examining power and spectral variation of the received signal, but it becomes a difficult task when the background noise gets large. In this paper, we propose a robust transient detection algorithm using the EVRC noise suppression module. We define new parameters from the outputs of the EVRC noise suppression module for transient detection. Experimental results with various types of underwater transients have shown that the proposed method outperforms the conventional energy-based method and achieved performance improvement of detection rate by 7% to 15% for various types of background noise.

A fast encoding technique is described for vector quantization (VQ) of line spectral frequency parameters. A reduction in VQ encoding complexity is achieved by using a preliminary test that reduces the necessary codebook search range. The test is performed based on two criteria. One criterion uses the distance between a specific single element of the input vector and the corresponding element of the codevectors in the codebook. The other criterion makes use of the ordering property of LSF parameters. The fast encoding technique is implemented in the enhanced variable rate codec (EVRC) encoding algorithm. Simulation results show that the average searching range of the codebook can be reduced by 44.50% for the EVRC without degradation of spectral distortion (SD).
