Block size determination and adaptation method for audio transform coding

摘要

A method for identifying and categorizing an audio signal into subclasses to determine a subframe block size of a transform coder. A number of block sizes available for the transform coder is determined. An input audio signal is then sampled at predetermined time intervals to produce a plurality of samples, which are grouped into frames, in which each frame has an equal number of samples. The frames are analyzed in a time domain to produce at least one comparison index, after which an appropriate block size is selected for the transform coder.
