Pulse-Code Modulation (PCM) : In PCM each sample of the signal is

quantized to one of the amplitude levels, where R is the number of bits used to represent each sample.The rate from the source is bps.

The quantized waveform is modeled as :

q(n) represent the quantization error, Which we treat as an additive noise.

DPCM: Remarks:

The pointwise coding error in the input sequence is exactly equal to q(n), the quantization error in e(n).

With a reasonable predictor the mean square value of the differential signal e(n) is much smaller than that of u(n).

15

DPCM: Conclusion:

For the same mean square quantization error, e(n) requires fewer quantization bits than u(n).

The number of bits required for transmission has been reduced while the quantization error is kept the same.

Vector Quantization (VQ)

Vector Quantization : Quantization is the process of

approximating continuous amplitude signals by discrete symbols.

Partitioning of

two-dimensional

Space into 16 cells.

23

Vector Quantization : The LBG algorithm first computes a 1-

vector codebook, then uses a splitting algorithm on the codeword to obtain the initial 2-vector codebook, and continue the splitting process until the desired M-vector codebook is obtained.

This algorithm is known as the LBG algorithm proposed by Linde, Buzo and Gray.

Vector Quantization : The LBG Algorithm :

Step 1:Step 1: Set M (number of partitions or cells)=1.Find the centroid of all the training data.

Step 2:Step 2: Split M into 2M partitions by splitting each current codeword by finding two points that are far apart in each partition using a heuristic method, and use these two points as the new centroids for the new 2M codebook. Now set M=2M.

Step 3:Step 3: Now use a iterative algorithm to reach the best set of centroids for the new codebook.

Step 4:Step 4: if M equals the VQ codebook size require, STOP; otherwise go to Step 2.
