Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

An apparatus for decoding, an apparatus for encoding, a method for decoding and a method for encoding positions of slots having events in an audio signal frame and respective computer programs and encoded signals, wherein the apparatus for decoding has: an analyzing unit for analyzing a frame slots number indicating the total of slots of the audio signal frame, an event slots number indicating the number of slots having the events of the audio signal frame, and an event state number, and a generating unit for generating an indication of a plurality of positions of slots having the events in the audio signal frame using the frame slots number, the event slots number and the event state number.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. An audio decoder for decoding an encoded audio signal comprising an audio signal frame comprising slots and events associated with the slots, comprising: an analysing unit for adapted to analyse a frame slots number indicating the total number of slots of the audio signal frame, an event slots number indicating the number of slots comprising the events of the audio signal frame, and an event state number; a generating unit adapted to generate an indi…
