Abstract

Various methods and systems disclosed compand audio signals using signal prediction, followed by expansion and reconstruction. The methods and systems compress and expand an error signal that represents deviations between samples of the original signal and predicted samples. Each predicted sample is generated by an extrapolation based on a sub-sequence of prior samples of the original signal. A time series of correction samples based on the error signal as it is received from the analog channel after amplitude expansion. Output samples are then generated from the sums of the correction samples and respective predicted samples of a second time series, each of which is extrapolated based on a sub-sequence of prior correction samples. Numerous variations are also disclosed.
