29、 version 13.0.0 Release 134 Outline description This TS is structured as follows: Section 5 gives a general overview of the parts in the Enhanced aacPlus codec. It further specifies what parts of the cited ISO standards apply. Section 7 gives a more detailed overview of the Enhanced aacPlus encoder,

30、 and references the relevant detailed technical description documents. Section 8 gives a more detailed overview of the ISO standardised parts of the Enhanced aacPlus decoder, and references the relevant ISO standards. Section 9 gives a more detailed overview of the additional tools present in the En

31、hanced aacPlus decoder that are not part of the cited ISO standards, and references the relevant detailed technical description documents. 5 General The Enhanced aacPlus general audio codec consists of MPEG-4 AAC, MPEG-4 SBR and MPEG-4 Parametric Stereo. The AAC is a general audio codec, SBR is a ba

32、ndwidth extension technique offering substantial coding gain in combination with AAC, and Parametric Stereo enables stereo coding at very low bitrates. In addition to the above parts of the Enhanced aacPlus codec that are specified in ISO standards 567812 there are 3 additional tools included in the

33、 Enhanced aacPlus decoder: - Error concealment tools for AAC, SBR, and Parametric Stereo make the decoder robust against transmission errors like frame loss. These tools mitigate audible effects of such errors. - The stereo-to-mono downmix tool enables a decoder only capable of mono output to downmi

34、x a stereo bitstream. For the AAC part this is done in the time domain after the stereo decoding but for SBR this is done on the SBR parameters and thus saving complexity since only a mono decoding of SBR is needed. - The Spline resampler tool gives the possibility to resample the output to a sampli

35、ng frequency different than what was supplied in the bitstream. This gives for example handsets with a D/A converter only capable of 16 kHz sampling frequency the possibility to play bit streams encoded with 22.05 kHz sampling frequency. The 3GPP Enhanced aacPlus general audio codec offers monophoni

36、c and stereophonic coding. For stereophonic coding two stereo modes are used: parametric stereo for low bitrates and M/S stereo for high bitrates. The codec is based on the MPEG-4 Audio ISO standard. The cited ISO standards define several profiles and levels of which not all are applicable in the 3G

37、PP context. From the ISO standards the following subset shall be used: The Enhanced aacPlus general audio codec implements the High Efficiency AAC Profile at Level 21as defined in 6. In addition, the following restriction applies: - frameLengthFlag in GASpecificConfig() shall be 0 (i.e., 960 framing

38、 is not supported); For terminals supporting stereophonic output the following additional statements apply: - for mono and parametric stereo bitstreams, the Enhanced aacPlus decoder operates the SBR tool in HQ mode, thus the SBR HQ tool is required; - the parametric stereo enhancement implements the

39、 baseline version of the parametric stereo coding tool in direct combination with the SBR tool, as defined in 8. - for M/S stereo bitstreams, it is recommended that the Enhanced aacPlus decoder operates the SBR tool in Low Power mode. For terminals that are only capable of producing monophonic outpu

40、t the following additional statements apply: 1The HE-AAC Profile combines the AAC Low Complexity object type plus the SBR tool. The AAC LC object type does not implement the Long Term Predictor (LTP) tool. The Level 2 implies a restriction to a maximum of two channels. Furthermore in case of SBR bei

41、ng used, the maximum AAC sampling rate is restricted to 24 kHz whereas if SBR is not used the maximum AAC sampling rate is restricted to 48 kHz. ETSI ETSI TS 126 401 V13.0.0 (2016-01)73GPP TS 26.401 version 13.0.0 Release 13- implementation of the parametric stereo tool is not required. The decoder

42、would skip the parametric stereo data and only decode the mono portion of the signal. - the stereo-to-mono-downmix tool is required in order to be able to decode M/S stereo bitstreams. - implementation of the SBR HQ tool is not required. Instead it is recommended to only implement the SBR Low Power

43、tool since it allows for reduced computational complexity and lower memory requirements Figure 1 illustrates how the AAC, SBR and the Parametric Stereo tools are combined to form the enhanced aacPlus codec: aacPlus consists of AAC and SBR. Enhanced aacPlus consists of aacPlus and the additional Para

44、metric Stereo tool. Enhanced aacPlus is thus a true superset of aacPlus and AAC. aacPlus(= MPEG-4 High Efficiency AAC)Enhanced aacPlus(= MPEG-4 High Efficiency AAC + MPEG-4 Parametric Stereo)AAC-LC SBRParametricStereoFigure 1: MPEG tools used to form the Enhanced aacPlus codec 6 Enhanced aacPlus gen

45、eral audio codec: ANSI-C code The Floating-point ANSI C-code of the general audio codec Enhanced aacPlus is described in 1. The Fixed-point ANSI C-code of the general audio codec Enhanced aacPlus is described in 10. 7 Enhanced aacPlus general audio codec: Enhanced aacPlus encoder Figure 2 shows a bl

46、ock diagram of the Enhanced aacPlus encoder. The input PCM time domain signal is first fed to a stereo-to-mono downmix unit, which is only applied if the input signal is stereo but the chosen audio encoding mode is selected to be mono. Next, the (mono or stereo) input time domain signal is fed to an

47、 IIR resampling filter in order to adjust the input sampling rate fsinto the best-suited sampling rate fsencfor the encoding process. The usage of the IIR resampler is only applied if the input signal sampling rate differs from the encoding sampling rate. The IIR resampler may either be run as a 3:2

48、 downsampler (e.g. to downsample from 48 kHz to 32 kHz) or as a 1:2 upsampler (e.g. to upsample from 16 to 32 kHz). The Enhanced aacPlus encoder basically consists of the well-known AAC2(Advanced Audio Coding) waveform encoder, the SBR (Spectral Band Replication) high frequency reconstruction encodi

49、ng tool and the Parametric Stereo encoding tool. The Enhanced aacPlus encoder is operating in a dual rate mode, whereas the SBR encoder operates at the encoding sampling rate fsencas delivered from the IIR resampler and the AAC encoder at half of this sampling rate 2AAC has been standardized as recommended audio codec in 3GPP, Release 5 ETSI ETSI TS 126 401 V13.0.0 (2016-01)83GPP TS 26.401 version 13.0.0 Release 13fsenc/2. Consequently a 2:1 downsampler is present at the input to the AAC encoder. For an efficient implementati
