    Abstract: A device includes an encoder. The encoder is configured to receive two audio channels. The encoder is also configured to determine a mismatch value indicative of an amount of a temporal mismatch between the two audio channels. The encoder is further configured to determine, based on the mismatch value, at least one of a target channel or a reference channel. The target channel corresponds to a lagging audio channel of the two audio channels and the reference channel corresponds to a leading audio channel of the two audio channels. The encoder is also configured to generate a modified target channel by adjusting the target channel based on the offset value. The encoder is further configured to generate at least one encoded channel based on the reference channel and the modified target channel.

    Abstract: A method of non-causally shifting a channel includes estimating comparison values at an encoder. Each comparison value is indicative of an amount of temporal mismatch between a previously captured reference channel and a corresponding previously captured target channel. The method also includes smoothing the comparison values to generate smoothed comparison values based on historical comparison value data and a smoothing parameter. The method further includes estimating a tentative shift value based on the smoothed comparison values. The method also includes non-causally shifting a target channel by a non-causal shift value to generate an adjusted target channel that is temporally aligned with a reference channel. The non-causal shift value is based on the tentative shift value. The method further includes generating, based on reference channel and the adjusted target channel, at least one of a mid-band channel or a side-band channel.

    Abstract: A method of coding for multi-channel audio signals includes estimating comparison values at an encoder indicative of an amount of temporal mismatch between a reference channel and a corresponding target channel. The method includes smoothing the comparison values to generate short-term and first long-term smoothed comparison values. The method includes calculating a cross-correlation value between the comparison values and the short-term smoothed comparison values. The method also includes adjusting the first long-term smoothed comparison values in response to comparing the cross-correlation value with a threshold. The method further includes estimating a tentative shift value and non-causally shifting the target channel by a non-causal shift value to generate an adjusted target channel. The non-causal shift value is based on the tentative shift value. The method further includes generating, based on reference channel and the adjusted target channel, at least one of a mid-band channel or a side-band channel.
