20090074076 | METHOD AND DEVICE FOR VECTOR QUANTIZATION - A method for quantizing vector. The method includes: performing a quantization process on a vector to be quantized by use of N basic codebook vectors and the adjustment vectors of each of the basic codebook vectors, generating a basic codebook vector and an adjustment vector used for quantizing the vectors to be quantized, N being a positive integer larger than or equal to 1.
