The main objective of this project is to implement the ITU-U G.729 8-kbit/s Vocoder (Voice Coder). The ANSI C code is available from ITU but it is not suitable for implementation in real time using a digital signal processor (DSP) due to the large computational time required for the encoder and decoder. The main task of this project is to study and understand the ITU-U G.729 standard and convert t
