Abstract: A method includes decoding a low-band mid channel bitstream to generate a low-band mid signal and a low-band mid excitation signal. The method further includes decoding a high-band mid channel bandwidth extension bitstream to generate a synthesized high-band mid signal. The method also includes determining an inter-channel bandwidth extension (ICBWE) gain mapping parameter corresponding to the synthesized high-band mid signal. The ICBWE gain mapping parameter is based on a selected frequency-domain gain parameter that is extracted from a stereo downmix/upmix parameter bitstream. The method further includes performing a gain scaling operation on the synthesized high-band mid signal based on the ICBWE gain mapping parameter to generate a reference high-band channel and a target high-band channel. The method includes outputting a first audio channel and a second audio channel. The first audio channel is based on the reference high-band channel, and the second audio channel is based on target high-band channel.
