  • Patent number: 10083699
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for processing audio data are provided. When an encoded audio bitstream sampled at a sampling frequency is received, a resampling ratio for processing the encoded audio bitstream is computed. If the the resampling ratio is within the resampling threshold range, then the encoded audio bitstream is processed in frequency domain and a desired number of audio samples per frame are outputted according to the resampling ratio. The encoded audio bitstream is processed in frequency domain using sample rate converter integrated into a filter bank of an audio decoder. If the resampling ratio is outside the resampling threshold range, then the encoded audio bitstream is processed in time domain and a desired number of audio samples per frame are outputted according to the resampling ratio.

  • Patent number: 9847095
    Abstract: Provided are a method and apparatus for encoding and decoding an audio signal. According to the present application, a signal of a high frequency band above a preset frequency band is adaptively encoded or decoded in the time domain or in the frequency domain by using a signal of a low frequency band below the preset frequency band. As such, the sound quality of a high frequency signal is not deteriorate even when an audio signal is encoded or decoded by using a small number of bits and thus coding efficiency may be maximized.
