A scalable coding apparatus is provided to suppress deterioration of a quality of a coded signal in a normal frame next to a frame compensated for the occurrence of a data loss. The scalable coding apparatus is provided with a core-layer coding section (11) to carry out core-layer coding for the n-th frame input audio signal, an ordinary coding section (121) to generate expanding-layer ordinary-coding layer L2(n) by carrying out ordinary-coding of an expanding layer for the input audio signal, a deterioration-compensation coding section (123) to generate an expanding-layer-deterioration coding data L2′(n) by carrying out compensation for quality deterioration of coded audio in a current frame due to a past frame loss, a judging section (125) to determine whether either the expanding-layer ordinary-coding data L2(n) or the expanding-layer deterioration-coding data L2′(n) should be output from the expanding-layer coding section (12) as expanding-layer coding data of the current frame. |
