Abstract
In a transmitter in the present invention, an input signal is input to a QMF bank 102 where the input signal is divided to a plurality of frequency bands to form corresponding band signals. A distributed bit calculating unit 109 calculates respective bit rates with which the corresponding band signals are encoded on the respective power values of the band signals. Quantizers 104-1, 104-2, . . . , 104-n encode the respective band signals at the corresponding bit rates and input the resulting corresponding band codes to a multiplexer unit 111 which incorporates the respective band codes into a cell as an information unit and sends the cell. In a receiver, a cell is decomposed to obtain the respective band codes, which are then dequantized to form the corresponding band signals. These band signals are synthesized to form a signal for the entire band, and the signal for the entire band is output as a decoded signal.
