Apparatus and method for improved concealment of the adaptive codebook in ACELP-like concealment employing improved pulse resynchronization

摘要

An apparatus for reconstructing a frame comprising a speech signal as a reconstructed frame is provided, said reconstructed frame being associated with one or more available frames, said one or more available frames being at least one of one or more preceding frames of the reconstructed frame and one or more succeeding frames of the reconstructed frame, wherein the one or more available frames comprise one or more pitch cycles as one or more available pitch cycles. The apparatus comprises a determination unit (210) for determining a sample number difference indicating a difference between a number of samples of one of the one or more available pitch cycles and a number of samples of a first pitch cycle to be reconstructed. Moreover, the apparatus comprises a frame reconstructor (220) for reconstructing the reconstructed frame by reconstructing, depending on the sample number difference and depending on the samples of said one of the one or more available pitch cycles, the first pitch cycle to be reconstructed as a first reconstructed pitch cycle. The frame reconstructor (220) is configured to reconstruct the reconstructed frame, such that the reconstructed frame completely or partially comprises the first reconstructed pitch cycle, such that the reconstructed frame completely or partially comprises a second reconstructed pitch cycle, and such that the number of samples of the first reconstructed pitch cycle differs from a number of samples of the second reconstructed pitch cycle.
