Abstract
It is shown an encoder for encoding an audio signal with reduced background noise using linear predictive coding. The encoder includes a background noise estimator configured to estimate background noise of the audio signal, a background noise reducer configured to generate background noise reduced audio signal by subtracting the estimated background noise of the audio signal from the audio signal, and a predictor configured to subject the audio signal to linear prediction analysis to obtain a first set of linear prediction filter (LPC) coefficients and to subject the background noise reduced audio signal to linear prediction analysis to obtain a second set of linear prediction filter (LPC) coefficients. Furthermore, the encoder includes an analysis filter composed of a cascade of time-domain filters controlled by the obtained first set of LPC coefficients and the obtained second set of LPC coefficients.
