Abstract: An autocorrelation calculation unit 21 calculates an autocorrelation RO(i) from an input signal. A prediction coefficient calculation unit 23 performs linear prediction analysis by using a modified autocorrelation R′O(i) obtained by multiplying a coefficient wO( ) by the autocorrelation RO(i). It is assumed here, for each order i of some orders i at least, that the coefficient wO(i) corresponding to the order i is in a monotonically increasing relationship with an increase in a value that is negatively correlated with a fundamental frequency of the input signal of the current frame or a past frame.

Abstract: Provided is a technique according to which it is possible to obtain a decoded sound signal of high sound quality without significantly increasing the delay time compared to a configuration in which only a decoded sound signal of the minimum necessary sound quality is obtained. In a terminal apparatus connected to a first communication line and a second communication line with a lower priority level there than, sound signals of multiple channels are obtained and output based on a monaural code included in a first code string input from the first communication line and an extended code included in a second code string with the closest frame number to that of the monaural code among extended codes included in the second code string input from the second communication line.

Abstract: A technique is provided that can reduce degradation of the sound quality due to a tandem connection of paired coding and decoding, and can reduce the operation processing amount and the required memory amount of a multipoint control unit. At a terminal of a communication network having a larger communication capacity in multipoint connection between terminals in a plurality of communication networks (e.g., a fixed phone line and a mobile phone line) having different communication capacities, a multichannel coding including a monaural coding scheme of the communication network having the smaller communication capacity is performed on the coding side, whereas decoding of a multichannel-coded code of one point, decoding of a monaural-coded code of one point, or decoding of a monaural-coded code of a plurality of points is performed on the decoding side in accordance with the input code.

A coding device includes: a predictive coding unit that obtains a first code by coding a differential vector formed of differentials between a vector of coefficients which are convertible into linear prediction coefficients of more than one order of the present frame and a prediction vector containing at least a predicted vector from a past frame, and obtains a quantization differential vector corresponding to the first code; and a non-predictive coding unit that generates a second code by coding a correction vector which is formed of differentials between the vector of the coefficients which are convertible into the linear prediction coefficients of more than one order of the present frame and the quantization differential vector or formed of some of elements of the differentials.

Abstract: An encoder and a decoder are provided that are capable of reproducing a frequency-domain envelope sequence that provides high approximation accuracy around peaks caused by the pitch period of an audio signal by using a small amount of code. An encoder of the present invention comprises a periodic-combined-envelope generating part and a variable-length coding part. The periodic-combined-envelope generating part generates a periodic combined envelope sequence which is a frequency-domain sequence based on a spectral envelope sequence which is a frequency-domain sequence corresponding to a linear predictive coefficient code obtained from an input audio signal and on a frequency-domain period. The variable-length coding part encodes a frequency-domain sequence derived from the input audio signal. A decoder of the present invention comprises a periodic-combined-envelope generating part and a variable-length decoding part. The periodic-combined-envelope generating part generates a periodic combined envelope sequence which is a frequency-domain sequence based on a spectral envelope sequence which is a frequency-domain sequence corresponding to a linear predictive coefficient code and on a frequency-domain period. The variable-length decoding part decodes a variable-length code to obtain a frequency-domain sequence.

Abstract: An autocorrelation calculating part calculates autocorrelation Ro(i) from an input signal. A predictive coefficient calculating part performs linear predictive analysis using modified autocorrelation R′o(i) obtained by multiplying the autocorrelation Ro(i) by a coefficient wo(i). Here, it is assumed that a case where, for at least part of each order i, the coefficient wo(i) corresponding to each order i monotonically increases as a value having negative correlation with a fundamental frequency of an input signal in a current frame or a past frame increases and a case where the coefficient wo(i) monotonically decreases as a value having positive correlation with a pitch gain in a current frame or a past frame increases, are included.
