Exploiting the residual redundancy in a source coder output stream during the decoding process has been proven to be a bandwidth efficient way to combat the noisy channel degradations. In this paper, we consider soft reconstruction of speech spectrum, in GSM adaptive multirate and IS-641 vocoders, transmitted over a channel disturbed with noise and/or packet loss. Several schemes are presented which exploit different levels of intraframe and interframe residual redundancy for improved source decoding at the receiver. A packetization strategy is proposed which is matched to the presented error concealment units. For decoders that exploit the residual redundancy, extensive complexity has been a serious concern, especially as the quantizer bitrate increases . In this paper, a novel method is presented to construct reduced complexity algorithms. The proposed methodology is based on the classification of the signal domain and efficient approximation of the residual redundancy or the a priori transition probabilities. The presented schemes provide high quality error concealment solutions for code excited linear prediction (CELP) coders
