Abstract

A spectrum coding method includes quantizing spectral data of a current band based on a first quantization scheme, generating a lower bit of the current band using the spectral data and the quantized spectral data, quantizing a sequence of lower bits including the lower bit of the current band based on a second quantization scheme, and generating a bitstream based on a upper bit excluding N bits, where N is 1 or greater, from the quantized spectral data and the quantized sequence of lower bits.

Claims (13)

1. A spectrum coding method comprising:

quantizing, by a first quantization unit, spectral data for each important spectral component of a current band based on a first quantization scheme;

extracting a lower bit evenly for the each important spectral component of the current band from the quantized spectral data;

generating a sequence of lower bits for a plurality of bands including the current band;

quantizing, by a second quantization unit, the sequence of lower bits based on a second quantization scheme; and

generating, by a bitstream generating unit, a bitstream including the quantized spectral data, excluding the extracted lower bits, for the current band and the quantized sequence of lower bits for the plurality of bands.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first quantization scheme is based on scalar quantization.

3. The method of claim 2 , wherein the scalar quantization uses a uniform quantization step size.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the quantizing the sequence of lower bits is performed based on a difference between the spectral data and the quantized spectral data.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the second quantization scheme is based on trellis coded quantization.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein a bandwidth of the spectral data is either a super wide band or a full band.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the spectral data is obtained by performing modified discrete cosine transform and normalization on an input audio signal.

8. The method of claim 1 , wherein the spectral data is coded in a normal mode.
