A coding device capable of improving the coding efficiency and a decoding device for decoding a code sequence generated by the coding device are provided. In the coding device, for each of the possible block combinations obtained when dividing a frame, a coding unit encodes each block in the frame block by block at different bit rates, and at the same time, the coding unit decodes the resultant code sequences related to the frame. A calculation unit calculates the error powers of the decoded signals and the input signal. A determination unit selects a code sequence that makes the average bit rate in coding the frame not higher than a specified value and the corresponding error power a minimum. This selected code sequence is output. <IMAGE> |
