Gaussian mixture model (GMM)-based predictive coding of line spectral frequencies (LSFs) has gained wide acceptance. In such coders, each mixture of a GMM can be interpreted as defining a linear predictive transform coder. In this paper we optimize each of these linear predictive transform coders using Kalman predictive coding techniques to present GMM Kalman predictive coding. In particular, we show how suitable modeling of quantization noise leads to an adaptive a-posteriori GMM that defines a signal-adaptive predictive coder that provides superior coding of LSFs in comparison with the baseline GMM predictive coder. Moreover, we show how running the Kalman predictive coders to convergence can be used to design a stationary predictive coding system which again provides superior coding of LSFs but now with no increase in run-time complexity over the baseline.
