    Abstract: A device includes a processor, a memory, and a combiner. The processor is configured to receive a first combined frame and a second combined frame corresponding to a multi-channel audio signal. The memory is configured to store first lookahead portion data of the first combined frame. The first lookahead portion data is received from the processor. The combiner is configured to generate a frame at a multi-channel encoder. The frame includes a subset of samples of the first lookahead portion data, one or more samples of updated sample data corresponding to the first combined frame, and a group of samples of second combined frame data corresponding to the second combined frame.

    Abstract: Wideband coding techniques involve encoding and transmitting a lower frequency portion of a signal (e.g., 50 Hertz (Hz) to 7 kiloHertz (kHz), also called the “low-band”). In order to improve coding efficiency, the higher frequency portion of the signal (e.g., 7 kHz to 16 kHz, also called the “high-band”) may not be fully encoded and transmitted. Properties of the low-band signal may be used to generate the high-band signal. For example, a high-band excitation signal may be generated based on a low-band residual using a non-linear model. The present disclosure describes an improvement or alternatives. In one form, there is provided a device for signal processing which includes a receiver and a high-band excitation signal generator. The receiver is configured to receive a parameter associated with a bandwidth-extended audio stream. The high-band excitation signal generator is configured to determine a value of the parameter. The high-band excitation signal generator is also configured to select, based on the value of the parameter, one of target gain information associated with the bandwidth-extended audio stream or filter information associated with the bandwidth-extended audio stream. The high-band excitation signal generator is further configured to generate a high-band excitation signal based on the one of the target gain information or the filter information.

    Abstract: A residual scaling unit is configured to determine a scaling factor for a residual channel based on an inter-channel mismatch value. The inter-channel mismatch value is indicative of a temporal alignment between a reference channel and a target channel. The residual scaling unit is further configured to scale (e.g., attenuate) the residual channel by the scaling factor to generate a scaled residual channel. A residual channel encoder is configured to encode the scaled residual channel as part of a bitstream.

    Abstract: A device includes a receiver configured to receive an encoded bitstream from a second device. The encoded bitstream includes a temporal mismatch value determined based on a reference channel captured at the second device and a target channel captured at the second device. The device also includes a decoder configured to decode the encoded bitstream to generate a first frequency-domain output signal and a second frequency-domain output signal. The decoder is configured to perform inverse transform operations on the frequency-domain output signals to generate a first and second time-domain signals. Based on the temporal mismatch value, the decoder is configured to map the time-domain signals to a decoded target channel and a decoded reference channel. The decoder is also configured to perform a causal time-domain shift operation on the decoded target channel based on the temporal mismatch value to generate an adjusted decoded target channel.
