Abstract

A frame error concealment (FEC) method is provided. The method includes: selecting an FEC mode based on states of a current frame and a previous frame of the current frame in a time domain signal generated after time-frequency inverse transform processing; and performing corresponding time domain error concealment processing on the current frame based on the selected FEC mode, wherein the current frame is an error frame or the current frame is a normal frame when the previous frame is an error frame.

Claims (11)

1. A frame error concealment apparatus comprising:

at least one processing device configured to:

select one mode from among a plurality of modes associated with repetition and smoothing, for a time domain signal of a current frame in at least one of a speech signal and an audio signal; and

perform a corresponding error concealment processing on the current frame based on the selected mode,

wherein the current frame is classified as an error frame, a next good frame after a single error frame or a next good frame after a burst error frame, and

wherein the plurality of modes include a first mode related to the error frame, a second mode related to the next good frame after the single error frame, and a third mode related to the next good frame after the burst error frame.

2. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the at least one processing device is configured further to perform a frequency domain error concealment processing on the current frame when the current frame is the error frame.

3. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the at least one processing device is configured to perform the corresponding error concealment processing when the selected mode corresponds to the first mode, by performing windowing processing on the time domain signal of the current frame, repeating a time domain signal of a frame that is two frames previous to the current frame to a beginning part of the current frame, performing overlap and add (OLA) processing on a time domain signal of the current frame obtained from a result of the repeating and the time domain signal of the current frame, and performing smoothing processing by applying a smoothing window between a time domain signal of a previous frame and a time domain signal of the current frame obtained from a result of the OLA processing and performing OLA processing.

4. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the at least one processing device is configured to perform the corresponding error concealment processing when the selected mode corresponds to the second mode, by smoothing the current frame by applying a smoothing window between a time domain signal of a previous frame and the time domain signal of the current frame.

5. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the at least one processing device is configured to perform the corresponding error concealment processing when the selected mode corresponds to the third mode, by copying a part used for a next frame the time domain signal of the current frame to a beginning part of the current frame, down scaling the current frame obtained from a result of the copying, smoothing the down scaled current frame by applying a first smoothing window to a time domain signal of a previous frame and a time domain signal of the beginning part obtained from a result of the copying in the down scaled current frame, and performing OLA processing by applying a second smoothing window between a time domain signal of the previous frame obtained from a result of the smoothing and the time domain signal of the next down scaled current frame.

6. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the mode is selected by considering stationary information of the current frame.
