STEREO SIGNAL ENCODING DEVICE, STEREO SIGNAL DECODING DEVICE, STEREO SIGNAL ENCODING METHOD, AND STEREO SIGNAL DECODING METHOD

摘要

Provided is a stereo signal encoding device that enables a lower bitrate without decreasing quality when applying an intermittent transmission technique to a stereo signal. The stereo signal encoding device (100) encodes a stereo signal comprising a first channel signal and a second channel signal. A stereo encoding unit (103) generates first stereo encoded data by encoding the stereo signal when the stereo signal of the current frame is an audio section A stereo DTX encoding unit (104) is a means for encoding the stereo signal when the stereo signal of the current frame is a non-audio section, and generates second stereo encoded data by encoding each of: a monaural signal spectral parameter that is a spectral parameter of a monaural signal generated using the first channel signal and the second channel signal; first channel signal information relating to the first channel signal; and second channel signal information relating to the second channel signal.
