  • Publication number: 20240161757
    Abstract: An apparatus includes a receiver and a decoder. The receiver is configured to receive a bitstream that includes a first frame and a second frame. The first frame includes a first portion of a mid channel and a first quantized stereo parameter. The second frame includes a second portion of the mid channel and a second quantized stereo parameter. The decoder is configured to generate a first portion of a channel based on the first portion of the mid channel and the first quantized stereo parameter. The decoder is configured to, in response to the second frame being unavailable for decoding operations, estimate the second quantized stereo parameter based on stereo parameters of one or more preceding frames and generate a second portion of the channel based on the estimated second quantized stereo parameter. The second portion of the channel corresponds to a decoded version of the second frame.

  • Publication number: 20240031755
    Abstract: An apparatus includes a receiver and an up-mixer. The receiver is configured to receive a bitstream that includes an encoded mid signal and encoded stereo parameter information. The encoded stereo parameter information represents a first value of a stereo parameter and a second value of the stereo parameter. The first value is associated with a first frequency range. The second value is associated with a second frequency range that is distinct from the first frequency range. The up-mixer is configured to perform an up-mix operation on a frequency-domain decoded mid signal generated from the encoded mid signal. A particular value based on the first value and the second value is applied to the frequency-domain decoded mid signal during the up-mix operation.

  • Patent number: 10902858
    Abstract: An apparatus includes a decoder configured to receive, from an encoder, a frame associated with an audio bitstream and with a first sampling rate. The decoder is configured to perform a frequency-domain upmix on data associated with the frame to generate left and right frequency-domain signals and is further configured to generate, based on the left and right frequency-domain signals, left and right time-domain signals that each have a second sampling rate. The second sampling rate is determined by the decoder, based on one or both of the first sampling rate and an output sampling rate, and is adjustable by the decoder to enable different frames to be decoded at different second sampling rates. The decoder is further configured to generate, based on the left and right time-domain signals, left and right resampled signals that each have the output sampling rate.
