ABSTRACT:
A system and method for the concealment of errors resulting from missing or corrupted data in the transmission of audio signals in compressed digital packet formats is disclosed. The system utilizes a circular FIFO buffer to store audio frames from the transmitted audio signal, and a beat detector, to identify the presence of beats in the audio signal. The error concealment method replaces erroneous audio frames with error-free audio frames by a process which takes into account the presence and location of the detected beats.
