Abstract

An encoding device according to the disclosure includes a first encoder, which in operation, encodes a low-band signal from a voice or audio input signal to generate a first encoded signal; a decoder, which in operation, decodes the first encoded signal to generate a low-band decoded signal; a second encoder, which in operation, encodes, on the basis of the low-band decoded signal, a high-band signal comprising a band from the voice or audio input signal, the band being higher than that of the low-band signal to generate a high-band encoded signal; an energy calculator, which in operation, calculates an energy of the voice or audio input signal for each subband of a plurality of subbands of the voice or audio input signal to acquire a calculated energy for each subband of the plurality of subbands of the voice or audio input signal, quantizes the calculated energy for each subband of the plurality of subbands of the voice or audio input signal to acquire a quantized band energy for each subband of the plurality of subbands of the voice or audio input signal and outputs the quantized band energy for each subband of the plurality of subbands of the voice or audio input signal; and a multiplexer, which in operation, multiplexes the quantized band energy for each subband of the plurality of subbands of the voice or audio input signal, the first encoded signal, and the high-band encoded signal to generate and output an encoded signal.
