METHODS FOR COMBINATORIAL CODING AND DECODING OF SPEECH/AUDIO/IMAGE/VIDEO SIGNALS AND CORRESPONDING ELECTRONIC ENCODER/DECODER

摘要

A method and apparatus for low complexity combinatorial coding and decoding of signals is described herein. During operation, an encoder and a decoder will utilize a first function in determining a codeword or vector when the size of the function is small. The encoder and the decoder will also utilize a second function in determining the codeword or vector when the size of the function is large.
