This work aims to present a combined version of reduced candidate mechanism (RCM) and iteration-free pulse replacement (IFPR) as a novel and efficient way to enhance the performance of algebraic codebook search in an algebraic code-excited linear-prediction speech coder. As the first step, individual pulse contribution in each track is given by RCM, and the value of N is then specified. Subsequently, the replacement of a pulse is performed through the search over the sorted top N pulses by IFPR, and those of 2–4 pulses are carried out by a standard IFPR. Implemented on a G.729A speech codec, this proposal requires as few as 20 searches, a search load tantamount to 6.25% of G.729A, 31.25% of the global pulse replacement method (iteration = 2), 41.67% of IFPR, but still provides a comparable speech quality in any case. The aim of significant search performance improvement is hence achieved in this work.
