    摘要: Provided are a new hybrid audio decoder and a new hybrid audio encoder having block switching for speech signals and audio signals. Currently, very low bitrate audio coding methods for speech and audio signal are proposed. These audio coding methods cause very long delay. Generally, in coding an audio signal, algorithm delay tends to be long to achieve higher frequency resolution. In coding a speech signal, the delay needs to be reduced because the speech signal is used for telecommunication. To balance fine coding quality for these two kinds of input signals with very low bitrate, this invention provides a combination of a low delay filter bank like AAC-ELD and a CELP coding method.
