Abstract: There is provided an error concealment unit, method, and computer program for providing an error concealment audio information for concealing a loss of an audio frame in an encoded audio information. In one embodiment, the error concealment unit is configured to provide an error concealment audio information using a frequency domain concealment based on a properly decoded audio frame preceding a lost audio frame. The error concealment unit is configured to fade out a concealed audio frame out according to different damping factors for different frequency bands.

Abstract: Embodiments of the invention relate to an error concealment unit for providing an error concealment audio information for concealing a loss of an audio frame in an encoded audio information. The error concealment unit provides a first error concealment audio information component for a first frequency range using a frequency domain concealment. The error concealment unit also provides a second error concealment audio information component for a second frequency range, which includes lower frequencies than the first frequency range, using a time domain concealment. The error concealment unit also combines the first error concealment audio information component and the second error concealment audio information component, to obtain the error concealment audio information. Other embodiments of the invention relate to a decoder including the error concealment unit, as well as related encoders, methods, and computer programs for decoding and/or concealing.

Abstract: There is provided an error concealment unit, method, and computer program, for providing an error concealment audio information for concealing a loss of an audio frame in an encoded audio information. In one embodiment, the error concealment unit provides an error concealment audio information for a lost audio frame on the basis of a properly decoded audio frame preceding the lost audio frame. The error concealment unit derives a damping factor on the basis of characteristics of a decoded representation of the properly decoded audio frame preceding the lost audio frame. The error concealment unit performs a fade out using the damping factor.

Abstract: A downscaled version of an audio decoding procedure may more effectively and/or at improved compliance maintenance be achieved if the synthesis window used for downscaled audio decoding is a downsampled version of a reference synthesis window involved in the non-downscaled audio decoding procedure by downsampling by the downsampling factor by which the downsampled sampling rate and the original sampling rate deviate, and downsampled using a segmental interpolation in segments of 1/4 of the frame length.
