Abstract
Embodiments of the present application proposes a frequency envelope vector quantization method and apparatus, where the method includes: dividing N frequency envelopes in one frame into N1 vectors; quantizing a first vector in the N1 vectors by using a first codebook, to obtain a code word corresponding to the quantized first vector, where the first codebook is divided into 2B1 portions; determining, according to the code word corresponding to the quantized first vector; determining a second codebook according to the codebook of the ith portion; and quantizing a second vector in the N1 vectors based on the second codebook. In the embodiments of the present application, vector quantization can be performed on frequency envelope vectors by using a codebook with a smaller quantity of bits. Therefore, complexity of vector quantization can be reduced, and an effect of vector quantization can also be ensured.
