Abstract
In multichannel acoustic signal coding and decoding, left- and right-channel signals are alternately interleaved for each sample to generate a one-dimensional signal sample sequence. The one-dimensional signal sample sequence is subjected to coding based on correlation. In coding, the left- and right-channel signals may preferably be interleaved after reducing an imbalance in power between input channels. In such an instance, a power imbalance is introduced between the decoded left- and right-channel signal sample sequences
