Patent ID: 8571852

Claim:
Decoder device for signals representing audio or speech, comprising: one or more processors: an input for receiving parameters of coded signals; a primary decoder connected to said input, arranged, when executed by one of the processors, to provide a primary decoded signal based on said parameters; a primary postfilter connected to an output of said primary decoder and arranged, when executed by one of the processors, to provide a primary postfiltered signal; a secondary decoder connected to said input in addition to said primary decoder, said secondary decoder being arranged, when executed by one of the processors, to provide a secondary decoded signal based on said parameters, said secondary decoded signal being different from said primary decoded signal; a combiner arrangement, arranged, when executed by one of the processors, for combining said primary postfiltered signal and a signal based on said secondary decoded signal into an output signal; said output signal being a weighted combination of said primary postfiltered signal and said signal based on said secondary decoded signal; and an output for said output signal, connected to said combiner arrangement.
