ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for audio compression receives an audio signal. Transform coding is applied to the audio signal to generate a sequence of transform frequency coefficients. The sequence of transform frequency coefficients is partitioned into a plurality of non-uniform width frequency ranges and then zero value frequency coefficients are inserted at the boundaries of the non-uniform width frequency ranges. As a result, certain of the transform frequency coefficients that represent high frequencies are dropped.
