Abstract: In a signal coding method, bits for coding allocated to different bands of a frequency domain signal obtained from an input signal are adjusted to improve the coding quality. The total available bits for coding are first allocated to the bands of the frequency domain signal according to a predetermined allocation rule. The numbers of bits allocated to the respective bands of the frequency domain signal are then adjusted when a highest frequency of the frequency domain signal to which bits are allocated is greater than a predetermined value. The frequency domain signal is coded according to the adjusted bit allocation for the bands of the frequency domain signal.

The coding method includes: encoding an input voice signal to obtain a broadband code stream, where the broadband code stream includes a core layer bit stream and an extension enhancement layer bit stream (101); compressing the core layer bit stream to obtain a compressed code stream (102); and packing the compressed code stream and the extension enhancement layer bit stream to obtain a packed code stream (103). The core layer bit stream is compressed, and the compressed code stream and the extension enhancement layer bit stream are packed, thereby reducing transmission bandwidth occupied by the input voice signal. Since the broadband voice encoding is performed on the input voice signal, a broadband voice code stream is transmitted by using narrowband transmission bandwidth, thereby improving the cost performance of voice signal transmission.
