Abstract:
Provided is a terminal capable of determining the status of a communications and selecting an appropriate codec mode without applying a load to either a network or terminals, by using information held by the terminal as negotiation information. A UE (100) sends to a partner the codec mode selected from a plurality of candidate codec modes notified by the partner, when communications commence. The UE (100) comprises: a wireless receiver (600) that receives a first information relating to the characteristics of a network to which the partner is currently connected; an information comparison unit (606) that compares the first information and a second information relating to the characteristics of the network that the UE is currently connected to, and decides the communications format; and a mode determination unit (608) that selects the codec mode to be used, from among the candidates and based on the decided communications format.

Abstract:
An encoder according to the present disclosure includes a first encoding unit that generates a first encoded signal in which a low-band signal having a frequency lower than or equal to a predetermined frequency from a voice or audio input signal is encoded, and a low-band decoded signal; a second encoding unit that encodes, on the basis of the low-band decoded signal, a high-band signal having a band higher than that of the low-band signal to generate a high-band encoded signal; and a first multiplexing unit that multiplexes the first encoded signal and the high-band encoded signal to generate and output an encoded signal. The second encoding unit calculates an energy ratio between a high-band noise component, which is a noise component of the high-band signal, and a high-band non-tonal component of a high-band decoded signal generated from the low-band decoded signal and outputs the calculated ratio as the high-band encoded signal.
Abstract:
The objective of the present invention is to suppress deterioration of call quality caused by transcoding without interrupting a call even if a codec used by one of the terminals during communication is changed. A modification determination unit (608), in the case of detecting a modification of a codec used by one terminal of two terminals, determines whether or not to constrain the bandwidth of the first codec using a first codec of the other terminal, and a second codec after modification by the first-mentioned one of the terminals. A signaling generation unit (610) transmits, to the other terminal, signaling for limiting the bandwidth if the bandwidth is to be limited.
Abstract:
There is disclosed an encoder apparatus whereby, when a band expanding technique for encoding, based on the spectral data of a lower frequency portion, the spectral data of a higher frequency portion is applied to a lower layer in a hierarchical encoding/decoding system, an efficient encoding can be performed in an upper layer as well, thereby improving the decoded-signal quality. In an encoder apparatus (101), a second layer decoder unit (207) calculates a spectrum (differential spectrum), which is to be encoded in a third layer encoder unit (210) that is an upper layer of the second layer decoder unit (207), by applying such an ideal gain (first gain parameter al) that minimizes the energy of the differential spectrum.
