Linear Prediction Coding (LPC) plays a vital role in speech communication. LPC algorithms are most commonly used for voice coders. In this paper we present a new approach to implement a reconfigurable hardware for sparse LPC algorithms for VoIP applications. The motivation behind this is that the sparser the feature the better would be the bit rate constraint. The necessity of a reconfigurable system is scalability and transcoding. The computational cost is expected to be very low for such a hardware which is capable of solving least square problems.
