Method and apparatus for encoding an audio signal using multiple coders with plural selection models
Patent number: 8069034Abstract: A method for supporting an encoding of an audio signal is shown, wherein at least a first and a second coder mode are available for encoding a section of the audio signal. The first coder mode enables a coding based on two different coding models. A selection of a coding model is enabled by a selection rule which is based on signal characteristics which have been determined for a certain analysis window. In order to avoid a misclassification of a section after a switch to the first coder mode, it is proposed that the selection rule is activated only when sufficient sections for the analysis window have been received. The invention relates equally to a module in which this method is implemented, to a device and a system comprising such a module and to a software program product including a software code for realizing the proposed method.Type: GrantFiled: May 6, 2005Date of Patent: November 29, 2011Assignee: Nokia CorporationInventors: Jari Mäkinen, Ari Lakaniemi, Pasi Ojala -
