Abstract

An apparatus for processing an audio signal and method thereof are disclosed. The present invention includes receiving, by an audio processing apparatus, an audio signal including a first data of a first block encoded with rectangular coding scheme and a second data of a second block encoded with non-rectangular coding scheme; receiving a compensation signal corresponding to the second block; estimating a prediction of an aliasing part using the first data; and, obtaining a reconstructed signal for the second block based on the second data, the compensation signal and the prediction of aliasing part.

Claims (26)

1. A method for processing an audio signal, comprising:

receiving, by an audio processing apparatus, coding identification information indicating whether to apply a first coding scheme or a second coding scheme to a current frame of the audio signal,

when the coding identification information indicates that the second coding scheme is applied to the current frame, receiving window type information indicating a particular window for the current frame, from among a plurality of windows;

applying a current window to the current frame based on the window type information,

wherein, when the first coding scheme is applied to a previous frame, the current window is determined to be one of a short window, a long stop window, or a stop start window,

wherein the long stop window and the stop start window have an ascending line which width is N/4, the long stop window has a descending line which width is N, and the stop start window has a descending line which width is N/8,

and wherein the N is the frame length.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the length of the short window, the long stop window, and the stop start window is 2N.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the length of the short window, the long stop window, and the stop start window corresponds to 2048 samples.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein a cross point between the current window and a previous window is at N/2 distance from the start of the current window.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the long stop window has a zero part in a right half, and

wherein the stop start window has no zero part in a right half.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein a cross point between the current window and a following window is at 3N/2 distance from the start of the current window.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first coding scheme is based on the linear-prediction domain, and the second coding scheme is based on the frequency-domain.

8. An apparatus for processing an audio signal, comprising:

a de-multiplexer receiving, by an audio processing apparatus, coding identification information indicating whether to apply a first coding scheme or a second coding scheme to a current frame of the audio signal, and, when the coding identification information indicates that the second coding scheme is applied to the current frame, receiving window type information indicating a particular window for the current frame, from among a plurality of windows;

a second coding unit applying a current window to the current frame based on the window type information, wherein, when the first coding scheme is applied to a previous frame, the current window is determined to be one of a short window, a long stop window, or a stop start window,

wherein the long stop window and the stop start window have an ascending line which width is N/4, the long stop window has a descending line which width is N, and the stop start window has a descending line which width is N/8,

and wherein the N is frame length.

9. The apparatus of claim 8 , wherein the length of the short window, the long stop window, and the stop start window is 2N.

10. The apparatus of claim 8 , wherein length of the short window, the long stop window, and the stop start window corresponds to 2048 samples.

11. The apparatus of claim 8 , wherein a cross point between the current window and a previous window is at N/2 distance from start of the current window.

12. The apparatus of claim 8 , wherein the long stop window has a zero part in a right half, and

wherein the stop start window has no zero part in a right half.

13. The apparatus of claim 8 , wherein a cross point between the current window and a following window is at 3N/2 distance from start of the current window.

14. The apparatus of claim 8 , wherein the first coding scheme is based on the linear-prediction domain, and the second coding scheme is based on the frequency-domain.
