Abstract
This paper reports an efficient quantization algorithm for the implementation of a realtime MP3 encoder based on a lowcost digital signal processor Unlike the wellknown nestedloop quantization algorithm which requires a large and unpredictable amount of iterations the proposed algorithm uses a single loop with only three iterations to reduce the computational complexity Since most of the existing quantization algorithms reported in the literature require peak number of iterations higher than three our approach can effectively reduce the peak computing demand for a realtime encoder We conduct several experiments including the ODG rating to validate the performance of the proposed algorithm and the results are acceptable We implement the proposed algorithm on a 16bit fixedpoint digital signal processor and the encoder requires 35 MIPS of computation for encoding stereo music at 128 kbps
