Abstract
A signal is encoded by (1) generating a difference signal using a current input signal and a current reference signal, (2) transforming the difference signal to a transform domain, (3) quantizing the transformed signal, and (4) further encoding the quantized signal. The encoded signal is then transmitted, either for storage or for decoding by a remote decoding system. The quantized signal (i.e., without any further encoding) is also dequantized and the resulting dequantized signal is transformed back (i.e., inverse transformed) to the original signal domain as a reference difference signal. The reference difference signal is then added to the current reference signal to generate a next reference signal. The next reference signal may then be used to encode a next input signal. A single transform circuit implements both the forward transform and the inverse transform during encoding by configuring the circuit differently for the forward and inverse transforms.
