METHOD FOR ENCODING A BIT AMOUNT OF A DATA SECTION AND CORRESPONDING METHOD FOR DECODING, METHOD FOR ENCODING OR DECODING AUDIO AND/OR VIDEO DATA, METHOD FOR TRANSMITTING AUDIO AND/OR VIDEO DATA AND STORAGE MEDIUM COMPRISING AUDIO AND/OR VIDEO DATA

摘要

The invention relates to a method for encoding of a bitamount of a data section and to a corresponding decoding method. Furthermore,the invention relates to encoding, decoding, transmission and/or storageof audio and/or video data wherein said method for encoding of a bitamount of a data section and/or said corresponding decoding method areused in processing of the audio and/or video data. Said method for encodingof a bit amount of a data section comprises the steps of encoding said bitamount indicating integer as a first number of equally valued bits followedby a stop bit of different value wherein said first number equals said bitamount increased by a threshold value. Using said method, quotients of valueslarger than a threshold can be encoded using unary as well as binarycode wherein quotients of values smaller than the threshold can be encodedin unary code.
