Abstract

An apparatus and method encode audio data, and an apparatus and method decode encoded audio data. An audio data encoding apparatus includes: a scalable encoding unit dividing audio data into a plurality of layers, representing the audio data in predetermined numbers of bits in each of the plurality of layers, and encoding a lower layer prior to encoding an upper layer and an upper bit of each layer prior to encoding a lower bit of each layer; an SBR encoding unit generating spectral band replication (SBR) data that has information with respect to audio data in a frequency band of frequencies equal to or greater than a predetermined frequency among the audio data to be encoded, and encoding the SBR data; and a bitstream production unit generating a bitstream using the encoded SBR data and the encoded audio data corresponding to a predetermined bitrate.

Claims (7)

1. An audio data decoding method comprising:

decoding audio data, which is hierarchically encoded using bit-sliced arithmetic coding (BSAC);

detecting a code, which indicates that a payload of extended data has been started;

detecting a type of the extended data;

determining whether the detected type of the extended data indicates spectral band replication (SBR) data; and

decoding the SBR data, when it is determined that the detected type indicates the SBR data.

2. The audio data decoding method of claim 1 , wherein the code, which indicates that a payload of extended data has been started, is represented as ‘zero code’ and the type of the extended data is represented as ‘extension type’.
