Provided is an encoding apparatus for integrally encoding and decoding a speech signal and a audio signal, and may include: an input signal analyzer to analyze a characteristic of an input signal; a stereo encoder to down mix the input signal to a mono signal when the input signal is a stereo signal, and to extract stereo sound image information; a frequency band expander to expand a frequency band of the input signal; a sampling rate converter to convert a sampling rate; a speech signal encoder to encode the input signal using a speech encoding module when the input signal is a speech characteristics signal; a audio signal encoder to encode the input signal using a audio encoding module when the input signal is a audio characteristic signal; and a bitstream generator to generate a bitstream.

Apparatus for encoding and decoding of integrated speech and audio

Disclosed is an LPC residual signal encoding/decoding apparatus of an MDCT based unified voice and audio encoding device. The LPC residual signal encoding apparatus analyzes a property of an input signal, selects an encoding method of an LPC filtered signal, and encode the LPC residual signal based on one of a real filterbank, a complex filterbank, and an algebraic code excited linear prediction (ACELP).

An inventive concept relates to an audio coding method to which CNN-based frequency spectrum recovery is applied. An inventive concept transmits a part of frequency spectral coefficients generated in transform coding to a decoder and the decoder recovers the frequency spectral coefficient not transmitted. Furthermore, the signs of frequency spectral coefficient are transmitted from an encoder to the decoder depending on a sign transmission rule.
