APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR ENCODING AND DECODING SIGNAL

摘要

An encoding/decoding apparatus and a method thereof are provided to encode signals having different characteristics at an optimum bit rate, thereby efficiently coding various signals such as an audio signal and a voice signal. Encoded signals from input bit streams are extracted. A decoding method is determined with regard to each encoded signal. The signals are decoded according to the determined decoding method. The decoded signals are synthesized.
