Abstract

A parameter decoding device performs a parameter compensation process so as to suppress degradation of a main observation quality in a prediction quantization. The parameter decoding device includes first amplifiers which multiply inputted quantization prediction residual vectors by a weighting coefficient. A further amplifier multiplies the preceding frame decoding LSF vector y n−1 by the weighting coefficient. An additional amplifier multiplies the code vector x n+1 outputted from a codebook by the weighting coefficient β 0 . An adder calculates the total of the vectors outputted from the amplifiers, the further amplifier, and the additional amplifier. A selector switch selects the vector outputted from the adder if the frame erasure coding B n of the current frame indicates that ‘the n-th frame is an erased frame’ and the frame erasure coding B n+1 of the next frame indicates that ‘the n+ 1 -th frame is a normal frame’.

Claims (18)

a prediction residue decoder that finds a quantized prediction residue based on encoded information included in a current frame subject to decoding; and

a parameter decoder that decodes a parameter based on said quantized prediction residue,

2. The parameter decoding apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein said prediction residue decoder, when said current frame is erased, finds a current-frame quantized prediction residue so that a sum total of a distance between a past-frame decoded parameter and a current-frame decoded parameter and a distance between a current-frame decoded parameter and a future-frame decoded parameter becomes a minimum.

3. The parameter decoding apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein said prediction residue decoder stores a plurality of sets of weighting coefficients, and when said current frame is erased, selects a weighting coefficient set based on a directive from a communicating party, and multiplies said weighting coefficient set based upon said parameter decoded in the past and said future-frame quantized prediction residue.

4. The parameter decoding apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein said prediction residue decoder, when said current frame is erased, finds a current-frame quantized prediction residue from a weighted linear sum of a parameter decoded in the past, a past-frame quantized prediction residue, and a future-frame quantized prediction residue.

5. A parameter encoding apparatus comprising:

an analyzer that analyzes an input signal and finds an analysis parameter;

an encoder that predicts said analysis parameter using a predictive coefficient, and obtains a quantized parameter using a quantized prediction residue obtained by quantizing a prediction residue and said predictive coefficient;

a preceding-frame concealment processor that stores a plurality of sets of weighting coefficients, finds a weighted sum using said weighting coefficient sets for said quantized prediction residue of a current frame, said quantized prediction residue of two frames back, and said quantized parameter of two frames back, and finds a plurality of said quantized parameters of one frame back using said weighted sum; and

a determination processor that compares a plurality of said quantized parameters of said one frame back found by said preceding-frame concealment processor and said analysis parameter found by said analyzer one frame back, selects one of said quantized parameters of said one frame back, and selects and encodes a weighting coefficient set corresponding to selected said quantized parameter of said one frame back.

6. A parameter decoding method, performed by a processor, comprising:
