Abstract

Systems and methods are provided for ultra-low latency decompression for a general-purpose audio input signal. In accordance with one implementation, a computer-implemented method is provided that includes decoding, by a processor, an input bit stream into quantization indices and residue quantization indices; applying an inverse quantization algorithm to the quantization indices to generate signal coefficients; applying an inverse transform to the signal coefficients to generate a time-domain reconstructed signal waveform; applying a stochastic noise synthesis algorithm to the residue quantization indices to generate a time-domain reconstructed residue waveform; combining, by the processor, the reconstructed signal waveform and the reconstructed residue waveform as a reconstructed signal waveform block; and generating an output signal by applying a boundary synthesis algorithm to the reconstructed signal waveform blocks.
