Abstract

Exemplary embodiments may provide a method of encoding an audio signal. The method includes: segmenting the audio signal into a plurality of frames, wherein each of the frames includes M samples and M is a natural number greater than one; applying a first window, a second window, and at least one third window to the frames, wherein a length of the second window is longer than a length of the first window, and a length of the third window is longer than the length of the first window and shorter than the length of the second window; time-frequency transforming the frames to which the first window, the second window, and the at least one third window have been applied; and generating a bitstream including the time-frequency transformed frames.
