Abstract:
A method includes receiving, at a vocoder, an audio signal sampled at a first sample rate. The method also includes generating, at a low-band encoder of the vocoder, a low-band excitation signal based on a low-band portion of the audio signal. The method further includes generating a first baseband signal at a high-band encoder of the vocoder. Generating the first baseband signal includes performing a spectral flip operation on a nonlinearly transformed version of the low-band excitation signal. The first baseband signal corresponds to a first sub-band of a high-band portion of the audio signal. The method also includes generating a second baseband signal corresponding to a second sub-band of the high-band portion of the audio signal. The first sub-band is distinct from the second sub-band.
Abstract:
A particular method includes encoding a first frame of an audio signal using a first encoder. The method also includes generating, during encoding of the first frame, a baseband signal that includes content corresponding to a high band portion of the audio signal. The method further includes encoding a second frame of the audio signal using a second encoder, where encoding the second frame includes processing the baseband signal to generate high band parameters associated with the second frame.
Abstract:
A method includes generating a high-band residual signal based on a high-band portion of an audio signal. The method also includes generating a harmonically extended signal at least partially based on a low-band portion of the audio signal. The method further includes determining a mixing factor based on the high-band residual signal, the harmonically extended signal, and modulated noise. The modulated noise is at least partially based on the harmonically extended signal and white noise.
Abstract:
A method of processing an audio signal includes determining an average signal-to-noise ratio for the audio signal over time. The method includes, based on the determined average signal-to-noise ratio, a formant-sharpening factor is determined. The method also includes applying a filter that is based on the determined formant-sharpening factor to a codebook vector that is based on information from the audio signal.
Abstract:
Compressibility-based reallocation of initial bit allocations for frames of an audio signal is described. Applications to redundancy-based retransmission of critical frames (e.g., for fixed-bit-rate modes of speech codec operation) are also described.

Abstract:
A method includes generating a first signal corresponding to a first component of a high-band portion of an audio signal. The first component has a first frequency range. The method includes generating a high-band excitation signal corresponding to a second component of the high-band portion of the audio signal. The second component has a second frequency range differs from the first frequency range. The high-band excitation signal is provided to a filter having filter coefficients generated based on the first signal to generate a synthesized version of the high-band portion of the audio signal.
Abstract:
A method of performing gain adjustment in an electronic device includes determining a first set of spectral frequency values and determining a second set of spectral frequency values. The first set of spectral frequency values corresponds to a high-band portion of an audio signal received at the electronic device. The second set of spectral frequency values approximates the first set of spectral frequency values in the high band portion of the audio signal. The method includes estimating a spectral distortion corresponding to a difference between the first set of spectral frequency values and the second set of spectral frequency values and adjusting, based on the spectral distortion, a gain value corresponding to at least a portion of the audio signal. The method also includes transmitting an encoded bitstream that includes information corresponding to the adjusted gain value and the second set of spectral frequency values.
Abstract:
An apparatus includes a first calculator configured to determine a long-term noise estimate of the audio signal. The apparatus also includes a second calculator configured to determine a formant-sharpening factor based on the determined long-term noise estimate. The apparatus includes a filter configured to filter a codebook vector to generate a filtered codebook vector. The filter is based on the determined formant-sharpening factor, and the codebook vector is based on information from the audio signal. The apparatus further includes an audio coder configured to generate a formant-sharpened low-band excitation signal based on the filtered codebook vector.
Abstract:
A device includes a receiver, a buffer, a transmitter, and an analyzer. The receiver is configured to receive a plurality of packets that corresponds to at least a subset of a sequence of packets. Error correction data of a first packet of the plurality of packets includes a partial copy of a second packet of the plurality of packets. The analyzer is configured to determine whether a particular packet of the sequence is missing from the buffer, and to determine whether a partial copy of the particular packet is stored in the buffer. The analyzer is also configured to send, via the transmitter, a retransmit message to a second device based at least in part on determining that the buffer does not store the particular packet and that the buffer does not store the partial copy of the particular packet.
