Original Abstract Submitted
a method for decoding an encoded audio bitstream is disclosed. the method includes receiving the encoded audio bitstream and decoding the audio data to generate a decoded lowband audio signal. the method further includes extracting high frequency reconstruction metadata and filtering the decoded lowband audio signal with an analysis filterbank to generate a filtered lowband audio signal. the method also includes extracting a flag indicating whether either spectral translation or harmonic transposition is to be performed on the audio data and regenerating a highband portion of the audio signal using the filtered lowband audio signal and the high frequency reconstruction metadata in accordance with the flag.
