  • Patent number: 11749291
    Abstract: An audio signal processing system and method is executed by an audio signal processing device to decode an audio packet to obtain decoded audio and determine an occurrence of a discontinuity occurring with a sudden increase of an amplitude of the decoded audio obtained by decoding the audio packet. The audio packet may be received correctly after an occurrence of a packet loss, and corrected to improve subjective quality of the decoded audio, wherein correcting the discontinuity of the decoded audio comprises causing distances between ISF/LSF parameters corresponding to a frame in which a packet loss has occurred to be equal.
