This paper proposes the TFNet, an end-to-end neural speech codec with low latency for RTC. It takes an encoder-temporal filtering-decoder paradigm that has seldom been investigated in audio coding. An interleaved structure is proposed for temporal filtering to capture both short-term and long-term temporal dependencies. Furthermore, with end-to-end optimization, the TFNet is jointly optimized with speech enhancement and packet loss concealment, yielding a one-for-all network for three tasks. Both subjective and objective results demonstrate the efficiency of the proposed TFNet.}, url = {http://approjects.co.za/?big=en-us/research/publication/end-to-end-neural-speech-coding-for-real-time-communications/}, }
