An audio coding device for coding an
audio signal comprises an audio
encoder configured to code the
audio signal; and a
side information encoder configured to calculate a parameter for a look-ahead
signal in
code excited linear prediction (CELP) coding as
side information, the
side information for use in
packet loss 10 concealment in the CELP coding. The audio
encoder is configured to calculate an index representing characteristics of a frame being coded and transmit the index to the side information encoder. The side information encoder is further configured to include, in response to the frame being coded being a specific frame class, a
pitch lag of a next frame coded after the frame being coded, the 15
pitch lag of the next frame included as the side information in the frame being coded. The side information encoder is further configured, in response to the frame being coded not being the specific frame class, to not include the
pitch lag of the next frame in the frame being coded, wherein the specific frame class is a type of frame that is affected by a
packet loss. 20 24 26 70 59 29 N ov 2 02 4 2 0 2 4 2 6 7 0 5 9 2 9 N o v 2 0 2 4 5 A B S T R A C T
