Abstract
A system extends a bandwidth of bandlimited audio signals by analyzing bandlimited audio signals at a transmission cycle rate. The analyzer may obtain a bandlimited parameter at a transmission cycle rate. A mapping device or logic in the system obtains a wideband parameter based on the bandlimited parameter. An audio signal generator generates a highband and/or lowband audio signal based on the wideband parameter at the transmission cycle rate. In some systems, the bandlimited audio signal is analyzed at the transmission cycle rate. The highband and/or lowband audio signals and the combined wideband audio signal are generated at the transmission cycle rate.
