The transient problem may be sufficiently addressed, and for this purpose, a further delay on the side of the decoding may be reduced if a new SBR frame class is used wherein the frame boundaries are not shifted, i.e. the grid boundaries are still synchronized with the frame boundaries, but wherein a transient position indication is additionally used as a syntax element so as to be used, on the encoder and/or decoder sides, within the frames of these new frame class for determining the grid boundaries within these frames.

Encoding an information signal

A decoder for decoding a frame to reconstruct a signal portion of a signal is provided. The signal portion is encoded within the frame, wherein the frame includes a bitstream payload and two or more redundancy bits, wherein the bitstream payload includes a plurality of payload bits, wherein each of the payload bits exhibits a position within the bitstream payload. The decoder includes a channel decoding module, being configured to detect, depending on the two or more redundancy bits, whether the bitstream payload includes one or more corrupted bits being one or more of the payload bits that are distorted or that are likely to be distorted. Moreover, the decoder includes a source decoding module.

Decoder and decoding method selecting an error concealment mode, and encoder and encoding method

An apparatus processing an encoded signal to acquire first and second frames comprising spectral values and an aliasing portion; applying a transform to the first frame using a first window function to acquire a first block of samples, applying another transform to a first portion of the second frame using a second window function, and applying another one or more transforms to a second portion of the second frame using one or more third window functions to acquire a second block of samples; and post-processing the second block of samples using a folding-out operation to acquire a post-processed second block of samples comprising a portion of the second block of samples overlapping with the first block of samples in a multi-overlap region, windowing the post-processed second block of samples using an auxiliary window function, and overlap-adding a windowed post-processed second block of samples and the first block of samples.

Apparatus and method for decoding an encoded audio or image signal using an auxiliary window function

An audio encoder for encoding audio input data has: a preprocessor for preprocessing the audio input data to obtain audio data to be coded; a coder processor for coding the audio data to be coded; and a controller for controlling the coder processor so that, depending on a first signal characteristic of a first frame of the audio data to be coded, a number of audio data items of the audio data to be coded by the coder processor for the first frame is reduced compared to a second signal characteristic of a second frame, and a first number of information units used for coding the reduced number of audio data items for the first frame is stronger enhanced compared to a second number of information units for the second frame.

Audio encoder with a signal-dependent number and precision control, audio decoder, and related methods and computer programs

A downscaled version of an audio decoding procedure may more effectively and/or at improved compliance maintenance be achieved if the synthesis window used for downscaled audio decoding is a downsampled version of a reference synthesis window involved in the non-downscaled audio decoding procedure by downsampling by the downsampling factor by which the downsampled sampling rate and the original sampling rate deviate, and downsampled using a segmental interpolation in segments of ¼ of the frame length.

Downscaled decoding

A downscaled version of an audio decoding procedure may more effectively and/or at improved compliance maintenance be achieved if the synthesis window used for downscaled audio decoding is a downsampled version of a reference synthesis window involved in the non-downscaled audio decoding procedure by downsampling by the downsampling factor by which the downsampled sampling rate and the original sampling rate deviate, and downsampled using a segmental interpolation in segments of 1/4 of the frame length.

An apparatus for processing an audio signal includes a configurable first audio signal processor for processing the audio signal in accordance with different configuration settings to obtain a processed audio signal, wherein the apparatus is adapted so that different configuration settings result in different sampling rates of the processed audio signal. The apparatus furthermore includes n analysis filter bank having a first number of analysis filter bank channels, a synthesis filter bank having a second number of synthesis filter bank channels, a second audio processor being adapted to receive and process an audio signal having a predetermined sampling rate, and a controller for controlling the first number of analysis filter bank channels or the second number of synthesis filter bank channels in accordance with a configuration setting.

Resampling output signals of QMF based audio codecs

An embodiment of an apparatus for generating audio subband values in audio subband channels includes an analysis windower for windowing a frame of time-domain audio input samples being in a time sequence extending from an early sample to a later sample using an analysis window function including a sequence of window coefficients to obtain windowed samples. The analysis window function includes a first number of window coefficients derived from a larger window function including a sequence of a larger second number of window coefficients, wherein the window coefficients of the window function are derived by an interpolation of window coefficients of the larger window function. The apparatus further includes a calculator for calculating the audio subband values using the windowed samples.
