DSP applications on mobile devices include reducing bandwidth for voice communications, implementing low power DSP, and enabling real-time multimedia. Voice communication bandwidth is reduced through speech compression down to 2,400 b/s using spectral analysis of speech segments. Low power DSP is achieved through devices like CADRE that minimize energy usage by reducing supply voltage, switched capacitance, and switching activity. Real-time multimedia requires synchronizing audio and video while accommodating high bandwidth video signals within network constraints through video signal compression.
