AN ENCODER

摘要

An encoder for encoding an audio signal, wherein the encoder is configured to: generate a plurality of signal components, wherein each of the plurality of signal components has an associated scaling factor and bit allocation value; select at least one of the plurality of signal components, wherein the selection is dependent on the bit allocation value associated with the at least one of the plurality of signal components and a bit allocation threshold value; and apply to the at least one of the plurality of signal components selected a further scaling factor and a further bit allocation value.
