摘要:
When coding and decoding stereophonic spectral values, both the intensity stereo process and a prediction process are used to achieve a high data compression. When an intensity stereo coding is active in a section composed of scaling factor bands (28), prediction for the right channel (R) is deactivated in this area, so that the prediction results are not used to build the coded stereophonic spectral values. The predictor of the right channel (R) is supplied with stereophonic spectral values for this channel which are in turn decoded by an intensity stereo process, so that prediction for the right channel (R) can continue to adapt itself.

In a process for coding stereophonic spectral values, the stereophonic spectral values are first grouped into scaling factor bands (28) to which are associated scaling factors. Sections are then formed which consist of at least one scaling factor band (28). The spectral values are coded in at least one section with a coding table associated to the section among a plurality of coding tables associated each to a coding table number. The number of the used coding table is transmitted together with the coded stereophonic spectral values as supplementary information. At least one additional coding table number is provided which does not relate to a coding table but gives information relevant to the section to which the coding table is associated. A process for decoding stereophonic spectral values which have been partially coded by an intensity stereo process and contain supplementary information uses the relevant information given by the additional coding table numbers to undo the coding of the stereophonic spectral values.

The invention relates to a method for coding or de-coding an audio signal combining the advantages of TNS processing and noise substitution. A time discrete audio signal is initially transformed in a frequency range in order to obtain spectral value of the temporal audio signal. A prediction of the spectral values in relation to frequency is subsequently made in order to enable spectral residual values. Areas within the spectral values encompassing spectral values with noise properties are detected . The spectral residual values are noise substituted in the noise areas, whereupon data relating to the noise areas and noise substitution are incorporated into side information pertaining to a coded audio signal.

A method of encoding time-discrete audio signals comprises the steps of weighting the time-discrete audio signal by means of window functions overlapping each other so as to form blocks, the window functions producing blocks of a first length for signals varying weakly with time and blocks of a second length for signals varying strongly with time. A start window sequence is selected for the transition from windowing with blocks of the first length to windowing with blocks of the second length, whereas a stop window sequence is selected for the opposite transition. The start window sequence is selected from at least two different start window sequences having different lengths, whereas the stop window sequence is selected from at least two different stop window sequences having different lengths. A method of decoding blocks of encoded audio signals selects a suitable inverse transformation as well as a suitable synthesis window as a reaction to side information associated with each block.

The invention relates to a method for signalling a noise substitution during audio signal coding. According to said method, the audio signal is first transformed in the frequency range to obtain spectral values. The spectral values are subsequently grouped to form spectral value groups. On the basis of a detection whether a group of spectral values is a noise group or not, a coding table is allocated to a non-noise group or a tonal group by means of a coding table number for redundancy coding of the same. If a group is a noise group it is allocated an additional coding table number which does not refer to a coding table in order to signal that this group is a noise group and that it must not be redundancy coded. By signalling noise substitution by means of a Huffman-code table number for noise groups of spectral values which are for instance scale factor band sections and which must not be redundancy coded, an opportunity is provided for implementing availability of a noise substitution in a scale factor band in the bit flow syntax of the MPEG-2 Advanced Audio coding Standard, without intervening in the basic coding structure and without having to touch the structure of the existing bit flow syntax.
