    Abstract: The invention provides an efficient technique for encoding a multi-channel audio signal. The invention relies on the principle of encoding (S1) a signal representation of one or more of the multiple channels in a first encoding process, and encoding another signal representation of one or more channels in a second, filter-based encoding process. A basic idea according to the invention is to select (S2), for the second encoding process, a combination of i) frame division configuration of an overall encoding frame into a set of sub-frames, and ii) filter length for each sub-frame, according to a predetermined criterion. The second signal representation is then encoded (S3) in each sub-frame of the overall encoding frame according to the selected combination. The possibility to select frame division configuration and at the same time adjust the filter length for each sub-frame provides added degrees of freedom, and generally results in improved performance.

    Abstract: The invention provides a highly efficient technique for encoding a multi-channel audio signal. The invention relies on the basic principle of encoding a first signal representation of one or more of the multiple channels in a first encoder (130) and encoding a second signal representation of one or more of the multiple channels in a second, multi-stage, encoder (140). This procedure is significantly enhanced by providing a controller (150) for adaptively allocating a number of encoding bits among the different encoding stages of the second, multi-stage, encoder (140) in dependence on multi-channel audio signal characteristics.

    Abstract: A first signal representation of one or more of the multiple channels is encoded (S1) in a first encoding process, and a second signal representation of one or more of the multiple channels is encoded (S2) in a second, filter-based encoding process. Filter smoothing can be used to reduce the effects of coding artifacts. However, conventional filter smoothing generally leads to a rather large performance reduction and is therefore not widely used. It has been recognized that coding artifacts are perceived as more annoying than temporary reduction in stereo width, and that they are especially annoying when the coding filter provides a poor estimate of the target signal; the poorer the estimate, the more disturbing artifacts. Therefore, signal-adaptive filter smoothing (S3) is introduced in the second encoding process or a corresponding decoding process as a new general concept for solving the problems of the prior art.
