Abstract

An audio decoder and method for providing a decoded audio information on the basis of an encoded audio information are disclosed. In one example, the audio decoder includes an error concealment configured to provide an error concealment audio information for concealing a loss of an audio frame following an audio frame encoded in a frequency domain representation using a time domain excitation signal.

Claims (11)

1. An audio decoder for providing decoded audio information on the basis of an encoded audio information, the audio decoder comprising:

an error concealment unit configured to provide an error concealment audio information for concealing a loss of an audio frame following an audio frame encoded in a frequency domain representation using a time domain excitation signal;

wherein the frequency domain representation comprises an encoded representation of a plurality of spectral values and an encoded representation of a plurality of scale factors for scaling the spectral values, and wherein the audio decoder is configured to provide a plurality of decoded scale factors for scaling spectral values on the basis of a plurality of encoded scale factors, or

wherein the audio decoder is configured to derive a plurality of scale factors for scaling the spectral values from an encoded representation of LPC parameters; and

wherein the error concealment unit is configured to acquire the time domain excitation signal on the basis of the audio frame encoded in the frequency domain representation preceding a lost audio frame.

2. A method for providing a decoded audio information on the basis of an encoded audio information, the method comprising:

providing an error concealment audio information for concealing a loss of an audio frame following an audio frame encoded in a frequency domain representation using a time domain excitation signal;

wherein the frequency domain representation comprises an encoded representation of a plurality of spectral values and an encoded representation of a plurality of scale factors for scaling the spectral values, and wherein a plurality of decoded scale factors for scaling spectral values is provided on the basis of a plurality of encoded scale factors, or

wherein the plurality of scale factors for scaling the spectral values is derived from an encoded representation of LPC parameters; and

wherein the time domain excitation signal is acquired on the basis of the audio frame encoded in the frequency domain representation preceding a lost audio frame.

3. A non-transitory digital storage medium having a computer program stored thereon to perform the method according to claim 2 when said computer program is run by a computer.
