    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to an apparatus for decoding an encoded Unified Audio and Speech stream. The apparatus comprises a core decoder for decoding the encoded Unified Audio and Speech stream. The core decoder includes a fast Fourier transform, FFT, module implementation based on a Cooley-Tuckey algorithm. The FFT module is configured to determine a discrete Fourier transform, DFT. Determining the DFT involves recursively breaking down the DFT into small FFTs based on the Cooley-Tucker algorithm and using radix-4 if a number of points of the FFT is a power of 4 and using mixed radix if the number is not a power of 4. Performing the small FFTs involves applying twiddle factors. Applying the twiddle factors involves referring to pre-computed values for the twiddle factors. The present disclosure further relates to an apparatus for decoding an encoded Unified Audio and Speech stream, in which the core decoder is configured to decode an LPC filter that has been quantized using a line spectral frequency, LSF, representation from the Unified Audio and Speech stream. Decoding the LPC filter from the Unified Audio and Speech stream comprises computing a first-stage approximation of a LSF vector, reconstructing a residual LSF vector, if an absolute quantization mode has been used for quantizing the LPC filter, determining inverse LSF weights for inverse weighting of the residual LSF vector by referring to pre-computed values for the inverse LSF weights or their respective corresponding LSF weights, inverse weighting the residual LSF vector by the determined inverse LSF weights, and calculating the LPC filter based on the inversely-weighted residual LSF vector and the first-stage approximation of the LSF vector. The present disclosure further relates to corresponding methods and storage media.

    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to an apparatus for decoding an encoded Unified Audio and Speech stream. The apparatus comprises a core decoder for decoding the encoded Unified Audio and Speech stream. The core decoder includes an eSBR unit for extending a bandwidth of an input signal, the eSBR unit including a QMF based harmonic transposer. The QMF based harmonic transposer is configured to process the input signal in the QMF domain, in each of a plurality of synthesis subbands, to extend the bandwidth of the input signal. The QMF based harmonic transposer is configured to operate at least in part based on pre-computed information. The present disclosure further relates to corresponding methods and storage media.
