  • Patent number: 11967327
    Abstract: A method and a decoder device of generating a concealment audio subframe of an audio signal are provided. The method comprises generating frequency spectra on a subframe basis where consecutive subframes of the audio signal have a property that an applied window shape of first subframe of the consecutive subframes is a mirrored version or a time reversed version of a second subframe of the consecutive subframes. Peaks of a signal spectrum of a previously received audio signal are detected for a concealment subframe, and a phase of each of the peaks is estimated. A time reversed phase adjustment is derived based on the estimated phase and applied to the peaks of the signal spectrum to form time reversed phase adjusted peaks.

  • Publication number: 20240129722
    Abstract: Method and apparatus relating to a wireless device supporting 3GPP 4G and 5G radio interfaces and also supporting non-3GPP access, i.e., WiFi, for selecting a security gateway of a first type e.g., ePDG or a security gateway of a second type, e.g., N3IWF for accessing to the core network of first type, e.g., EPC or of a second type e.g., 5GC. As the access methods via ePDG and N3IWF are not the same, the wireless device has to determine based on information obtained by a function in the network and its capabilities whether to use an ePDG or an N3IWF for untrusted non-3GPP access. The wireless device may take into account in the selection whether it is connected to the Core network over 3GPP 4G or 5G radio access network. A corresponding apparatus claim is provided.
