(stock symbol) ) for the right to use certain QUALCOMM Code Excited Linear Prediction Code Excited Linear Prediction (CELP) is a speech coding algorithm originally proposed by M.R. Schroeder and B.S. Atal in 1985. At the time, it provided significantly better quality than existing low bit-rate algorithms, such as RELP and LPC vocoders (e.g. FS-1015). (QCELP QCELP QualComm Code Excited Linear Predictive coding QCELP Qualcomm Code Excited Linear Prediction (TM)), and Enhanced Variable Rate Vocoder (EVRC EVRC Enhanced Variable Rate Codec (Relaxation Code Excited Linear Prediction, RCELP algorithm) EVRC Enhanced Variable Rate Coding ) audio coding patents owned by QUALCOMM. The QCELP and EVRC Vocoder standards provide for speech coding technology with greater capacity, improved quality and reliability. Mobixell's QCELP and EVRC Vocoder Server license will be offered as part of the Mobixell Rich Media Service Center (RMSC RMSC Raytheon Missile Systems Company RMSC Rich Media Service Center RMSC Resource Management Steering Committee RMSC Rocky Mountain Saab Club (Denver, CO, USA) RMSC Resource Management Support Clerk ) product suite.
