Abstract

A method and apparatus for transforming an audio signal, a method and apparatus for adaptively encoding an audio signal, a method and apparatus for inversely transforming an audio signal, and a method and apparatus for adaptively decoding an audio signal. The method of transforming an audio signal includes determining a transform unit into which the audio signal in a time domain is to be transformed into an audio signal in a frequency domain, and transforming the audio signal into an audio signal in the frequency domain according to the determined transform units using a window coefficient other than 0. Accordingly, it is possible to minimize distortion of the audio signal when encoding the audio signal even at a high bit rate while increasing efficiency of compression.
