Abstract
A method and device allocates a bit-budget to a plurality of first parts of a CELP core module of (a) an encoder for encoding a sound signal or (b) a decoder for decoding the sound signal. In the method and device, bit-budget allocation tables assign, for each of a plurality of intermediate bit rates, respective bit-budgets to the first CELP core module parts. A CELP core module bit rate is determined and one of the intermediate bit rates is selected based on the determined CELP core module bit rate. The respective bit-budgets assigned by the bit-budget allocation tables for the selected intermediate bit rate are allocated to the first CELP core module parts.
