Abstract

A coding apparatus normalizes a low-frequency spectrum included in each of sub-bands obtained from dividing a low band part, using a largest amplitude value among the low-frequency spectrum included in each sub-band, obtains a normalized low-frequency spectrum by decoding the first encoded data, and calculates a correlation between each divided band of a high-frequency spectrum and a plurality of candidate bands of the normalized low-frequency spectrum. The best bands of a plurality of candidate bands are identified, each candidate band having a starting frequency position with non-zero amplitude in the normalized low-frequency spectrum, the high-frequency spectrum being in a high band part of the input audio signal that is higher than the predetermined frequency, and the high-frequency spectrum is encoded using lag information identifying the best band for transmitting the lag information to a decoder.
