This paper presents a low bit-rate MDCT coder, which is adopted as a part of the recently standardized codec for Enhanced Voice Services. To maximize codec performance for NB to SWB input signals for low bit-rates (7.2 to 16.4 kbps), new adaptive bit-allocation and spectrum quantization schemes, which emphasize perceptually important spectrum while efficiently coding full spectrum, was introduced into the low bit-rate MDCT coder. Further, small symbol switched Huffman coding is exploited for reducing the bits consumption for quantizing band energies of the spectrum. Finally, the performance of the coder is illustrated with some listening test results.
