Method and system for inter-channel signal redundancy removal in perceptual audio coding
First Claim
1. A method of coding audio signals in a sound system having a plurality of sound channels for providing M sets of audio signals from input signals, wherein M is a positive integer greater than 2, and wherein a plurality of intra-channel signal redundancy removal devices are used to reduce the audio signals for providing first signals indicative of the reduced audio signals, said method comprising the steps of:
- converting the first signals to audio data of integers for providing second signals indicative of the audio data; and
reducing inter-channel signal redundancy in the second signals for providing third signals indicative of the reduced second signals.

Abstract
A method and system for coding audio signals in a multi-channel sound system, wherein a plurality of MDCT units are used to reduce the audio signals for providing a plurality of MDCT coefficients. The MDCT coefficients are quantized according to the masking threshold calculated from a psychoacoustic model and a plurality of INT (integer-to-integer) DCT modules are used to remove the cross-channel redundancy in the quantized MDCT coefficients. The output from the INT-DCT modules is Huffman coded and written to a bitstream for transmission or storage.
