Abstract

Disclosed are a high-band encoding/decoding method and device for bandwidth extension. A high-band encoding method comprising the steps of: generating sub band-specific bit allocation information on the basis of a low-band envelope; determining, on the basis of the sub band-specific bit allocation information, the sub band requiring an envelope update in a high band; and generating, for the determined sub band, refinement data relating to the envelope update. A high-band decoding method comprising the steps of: generating sub band-specific bit allocation information on the basis of a low-band envelope; determining, on the basis of the sub band-specific bit allocation information, the sub band requiring an envelope update in a high band; and decoding, for the determined sub band, refinement data relating to the envelope update, thereby updating the envelope.

Claims (34)

1. A high frequency encoding method for encoding an audio signal, the high frequency encoding method comprising:

generating a mapped envelope of a high band by mapping an envelope of the high band into a band configuration of a full band;

generating an envelope of the full band by combining the mapped envelope of the high band with an envelope of a low band;

generating bit allocation information for a sub-band based on the envelope of the full band;

determining to perform envelope refinement if there is any sub-band to which a bit is allocated in the high band based on the bit allocation information;

in response to determining to perform the envelope refinement, generating and encoding a delta of norm which is a difference between the mapped envelope and an envelope from an original spectrum, for the sub-band to which bit is allocated in the high band; and

generating a bitstream including the delta of norm.

2. The high frequency encoding method of claim 1 , further comprising generating an excitation class based on signal characteristics of the high band and encoding the excitation class.

3. The high frequency encoding method of claim 1 , further comprising updating the bit allocation information based on bits used for the envelope refinement for the sub-band to which a bit is allocated.

4. The high frequency encoding method of claim 3 , wherein the updated bit allocation information is provided to be used for spectrum coding.

5. A high frequency decoding method for decoding an audio signal, the high frequency decoding method comprising:

generating a mapped envelope of a high band by mapping an envelope of the high band into a band configuration of a full band;

generating an envelope of the full band by combining the mapped envelope of the high band with an envelope of a low band;

generating bit allocation information for a sub-band, based on the envelope of the full band;

determining to perform updating the envelope if there is any sub-band in which a bit is allocated in a high band based on the bit allocation information; and

updating the envelope by decoding a delta of norm which is a difference between the mapped envelope and an envelope from an original spectrum, for the sub-band to which a bit is allocated in the high band.

6. The high frequency decoding method of claim 5 , further comprising decoding an excitation class.

7. The high frequency decoding method of claim 5 , further comprising updating the bit allocation information based on bits used for the envelope updating for the sub-band to which a bit is allocated.

8. The high frequency decoding method of claim 7 , the updated bit allocation information is provided to be used for spectrum decoding.

9. A high frequency encoding apparatus for encoding an audio signal, the high frequency encoding apparatus comprising:

at least one processor configured to:

generate a mapped envelope of a high band by mapping an envelope of the high band into a band configuration of a full band;

generate an envelope of a full band by combining the mapped envelope of the high band with an envelope of a low band;

generate bit allocation information for a sub-band, based on an envelope of the full band;

determine to perform envelope refinement if there is any sub-band to which a bit is allocated in the high band based on the bit allocation information;

in response to determining to perform the envelope refinement, generate and encode deltas of norms which are differences between the mapped envelope and an envelope from an original spectrum for the sub-band to which a bit is allocated in the high band; and

generate a bitstream including the deltas of norms.

10. A high frequency decoding apparatus for decoding an audio signal, the high frequency decoding apparatus comprising:

at least one processor configured to:

generate a mapped envelope of a high band by mapping an envelope of the high band into a band configuration of a full band;

generate an envelope of the full band by combining the mapped envelope of the high band with an envelope of a low band;

generate bit allocation information for a sub-band based on the envelope of the full band;

determine to perform updating the envelope if there is any sub-band in which a bit is allocated in a high band based on the bit allocation information; and

update the envelope by decoding a delta of norm which is a difference between the mapped envelope and an envelope from an original spectrum for the sub-band to which a bit is allocated in the high band.
