Abstract

An audio signal transmission device for encoding an audio signal includes an audio encoding unit that encodes an audio signal and a side information encoding unit that calculates and encodes side information from a look-ahead signal. An audio signal receiving device for decoding an audio code and outputting an audio signal includes: an audio code buffer that detects packet loss based on a received state of an audio packet, an audio parameter decoding unit that decodes an audio code when an audio packet is correctly received, a side information decoding unit that decodes a side information code when an audio packet is correctly received, a side information accumulation unit that accumulates side information obtained by decoding a side information code, an audio parameter missing processing unit that outputs an audio parameter upon detection of audio packet loss, and an audio synthesis unit that synthesizes decoded audio from the audio parameter.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. An audio coding device for coding an audio signal, the audio coding device comprising:
an audio encoder for coding the audio signal; and
a side information encoder for calculating a parameter for a look-ahead signal in CELP coding as side information to be used in packet loss concealment in the CELP coding,
wherein the audio encoder calculates an index representing characteristics of a frame to be coded and transmits the index to the side information encoder, and
a pitch lag is the parameter included, as the side information, in a first packet for transmission immediately before a second packet to be decoded, the pitch lag included as the side information only in a specific frame class; and
the pitch lag is not included, as the side information, in the first packet for transmission immediately before the second packet to be decoded in other than the specific frame class.
