Abstract (en)

[origin: FR2747225A1] A coding system for a signal to be coded, of a type that delivers a global flow consisting of a primary flow corresponding to the so-called primary coding of an incoming flow, and of a secondary flow corresponding to a secondary coding is disclosed, wherein the coding delay of the primary coding is shorter than that of the secondary coding. The invention is characterised in that it includes a filter bank (10) for receiving said incoming flow (FE) to be coded and for generating signals in different sub-bands respectively, so-called primary coders (20>1< to 20>4<), for coding said sub-band signals respectively and forming primary flows (TP), decoders (40>1< - 40>4<) receiving and decoding the primary flows (TP), subtractors (50>1< - 50>4<), each of which provides to produce the difference between the signals delivered by the filter bank (10) in each sub-band and the signals delivered by the corresponding decoder (50>1< - 50>4<), a so-called secondary coder (70) for coding the signals from the subtractors (50>1< - 50>4<) and generating a secondary flow (TS), and a multiplexer (30) for multiplexing into a single global flow (TG) the primary flows (TP) from the primary coders (20>1< - 20>4<) and the secondary flow (TS) from the secondary coder (70). A multiplexing method used in such a coding and decoding system is also disclosed.
