Abstract:
1. An apparatus for encoding an audio signal comprising a stream of audio samples, comprising: a windower for applying a prediction coding analysis window to the stream of audio samples to acquire windowed data for a prediction analysis and for applying a transform coding analysis window to the stream of audio samples to acquire windowed data for a transform analysis, wherein the transform coding analysis window is associated with audio samples within a current frame of audio samples and with audio samples of a predefined portion of a future frame of audio samples being a transform-coding look-ahead portion, wherein the prediction coding analysis window is associated with at least the portion of the audio samples of the current frame and with audio samples of a predefined portion of the future frame being a prediction coding look-ahead portion, wherein the transform coding look-ahead portion and the prediction coding look-ahead portion are identical to each other or are different from each other by less than 20% of the prediction coding look-ahead portion or less than 20% of the transform coding look-ahead portion; and an encoding processor for generating prediction coded data for the current frame using the windowed data for the prediction analysis or for generating transform coded data for the current frame using the windowed data for the transform analysis.
