AUDIO ENCODER, AUDIO DECODER, METHODS FOR ENCODING AND DECODING AN AUDIO SIGNAL, AUDIO STREAM AND A COMPUTER PROGRAM

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240420714 titled 'AUDIO ENCODER, AUDIO DECODER, METHODS FOR ENCODING AND DECODING AN AUDIO SIGNAL, AUDIO STREAM AND A COMPUTER PROGRAM

Original Abstract Submitted

an encoder for providing an audio stream on the basis of a transform-domain representation of an input audio signal includes a quantization error calculator configured to determine a multi-band quantization error over a plurality of frequency bands of the input audio signal for which separate band gain information is available. the encoder also includes an audio stream provider for providing the audio stream such that the audio stream includes information describing an audio content of the frequency bands and information describing the multi-band quantization error.
