Abstract:
1. A speech/sound decoding apparatus that generates decoded signals by decoding encoded information configured in a plurality of layers including a first layer and a second layer, the speech/sound decoding apparatus comprising: a frame loss detector that determines whether or not encoded information related to the first layer and encoded information related to the second layer in a received frame are each correct, and generates frame loss information comprising a result of the determination; a first decoder that determines encoded information to use for decoding of the first layer, according to the frame loss information, from one of first encoded information received in a present frame and first encoded information received in a previous frame, and one of second encoded information received in the present frame and second encoded information received in the previous frame, and generates a first decoded signal by performing decoding using the determined encoded information, determined by the first decoder; and a second decoder that determines encoded information to use for decoding of the second layer, according to the frame loss information, from one of the first encoded information received in the present frame and the first encoded information received in the previous frame, and one of the second encoded information received in the present frame and the second encoded information received in the previous frame, and generates a second decoded signal by performing decoding using the determined encoded information, determined by the second decoder, wherein the first decoder and the second decoder perform decoding using encoded information specified by one of a designated combination of a plurality of specific combinations of encoded information, which is based on a specific value of the frame loss information, the plurality of specific combinations of encoded information including: a first combination of first encoded information in the current frame and second encoded information in the current frame, a second combination of first encoded information in the preceding frame and second encoded information of the current frame, a third combination of first encoded information in the current frame and second encoded information in the preceding frame, and a fourth combination of the first encoded information in the preceding frame and second encoded information in the preceding frame, wherein the first encoded information comprises LSP, adaptive codebook excitation lag, fixed codebook excitation vector, adaptive and fixed excitation gains, and the second encoded information consists of delta adaptive LSP, delta adaptive codebook excitation lag, fixed codebook excitation vector, and adaptive and fixed excitation gains.
