Abstract

Methods, an encoder and a decoder are configured for transition between frames with different internal sampling rates. Linear predictive (LP) filter parameters are converted from a sampling rate S 1 to a sampling rate S 2 . A power spectrum of a LP synthesis filter is computed, at the sampling rate S 1 , using the LP filter parameters. The power spectrum of the LP synthesis filter is modified to convert it from the sampling rate S 1 to the sampling rate S 2 . The modified power spectrum of the LP synthesis filter is inverse transformed to determine autocorrelations of the LP synthesis filter at the sampling rate S 2 . The autocorrelations are used to compute the LP filter parameters at the sampling rate S 2.

Claims (18)

1. A method for interpolating LP filter parameters in a current sound signal processing frame following a previous sound signal processing frame, the previous frame using an internal sampling rate S 1 and the current frame using an internal sampling rate S 2 and defining a number of subframes, comprising:

providing LP filter parameters from the previous frame at the internal sampling rate S 1 ;

providing LP filter parameters from the current frame at the internal sampling rate S 2 ;

converting the LP filter parameters from the previous frame from the internal sampling rate S 1 to the internal sampling rate S 2 ;

transforming the LP filter parameters to a quantization and interpolation domain; and

computing LP filter parameters of at least one of the subframes of the current frame using a weighted sum of the LP filter parameters from the current frame at the internal sampling rate S 2 and the LP filter parameters from the previous frame at the internal sampling rate S 2 .

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the LP filter parameters are quantized LP filter parameters.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the quantization and interpolation domain is a line spectrum frequencies domain.

4. A device for interpolating LP filter parameters in a current sound signal processing frame following a previous sound signal processing frame, the previous frame using an internal sampling rate S 1 and the current frame using an internal sampling rate S 2 and defining a number of subframes, comprising:

at least one processor; and

a memory coupled to the processor and storing non-transitory instructions that when executed cause the processor to:

provide LP filter parameters from the previous frame at the internal sampling rate S 1 ;

provide LP filter parameters from the current frame at the internal sampling rate S 2 ;

convert the LP filter parameters from the previous frame from the internal sampling rate S 1 to the internal sampling rate S 2 ;

transform the LP filter parameters to a quantization and interpolation domain; and

compute LP filter parameters of at least one of the subframes of the current frame using a weighted sum of the LP filter parameters from the current frame at the internal sampling rate S 2 and the LP filter parameters from the previous frame at the internal sampling rate S 2 .

5. The device of claim 4 , wherein the LP filter parameters are quantized LP filter parameters.

6. The device of claim 4 , wherein the quantization and interpolation domain is a line spectrum frequencies domain.
