[Speex-dev] Differences between ACELP and CELP.... Reloaded

[Jean-Marc Valin]

Hi,

The A in ACELP stands for algebraic. It means that the fixed codebook
(cb_search.c) is not "real" codebook (as contained in the *table.c
files), but rather an algebraic (implicit) one, where each entry can be
computed directly from the codebook index. The main advantage of ACELP
lies in the fact that the search is much faster, which allows larger
codebook for the same complexity. 

In terms of Speex, implementing ACELP would mean replacing cb_search.c
and most likely changing a bit how the fixed codebook gain is
implemented too. Not that I would recommend it anyway, but since you
asked...
