Abstract

An audio signal encoded in the form of data is spectrally reconstructed so part of the frequency spectrum of the audio signal is decoded with a spectral band limiting encoder (i.e., a core encoder). The complementary part of the frequency spectrum of the audio signal is decoded with an extension encoder. Information representing at least one cut-off frequency of the signal decoded by the core decoder is used to select, from amongst the data to be decoded or the data decoded with the extension decoder.
