Abstract
A method of processing an audio signal is described. The method includes selecting one among a plurality of entries of a codebook based on information from the audio signal. The method also includes determining locations, in a frequency domain, of zero-valued elements of a first signal that is based on the selected codebook entry. The method further includes calculating energy of the audio signal at the determined frequency-domain locations. The method additionally includes calculating a value of a measure of a distribution of the energy of the audio signal among the determined frequency-domain locations. The method also includes calculating a noise injection gain factor based on the calculated energy and the calculated value.
