<p>A decoder and method of decoding a sub-band coded digital audio signal. The decoder comprises: an input, for receiving sub-band coefficients for a plurality of sub-bands of the audio signal; an error detection unit (20), adapted to analyze the content of a sequence of coefficients in one of the sub-bands, to derive for each coefficient an indication of whether the coefficient has been corrupted by an error of a predefined type; an error masking unit (30), adapted to generate from the sequence a modified sequence of coefficients for the sub-band, wherein errors of the predefined type are attenuated; a coefficient combination unit (40), adapted to combine the received coefficients and the modified coefficients, in dependence upon the indication of error; and a signal reconstruction unit (50), adapted to reconstruct the audio signal using the combined coefficients.</p> |
