ABSTRACT:
A method of and an apparatus for encoding/decoding an MPEG-4 bit sliced arithmetic coding (BSAC) audio bitstream having ancillary information. A time domain audio signal is converted to a frequency domain audio signal and quantized. A number of data bits is counted and a number of available bits per layer is obtained. The number of available bits per layer is modified considering the size of ancillary information. Actual audio data is encoded in units of layers and ancillary information is embedded in the encoded bitstream. A header is decoded and a layer structure of an audio bitstream is calculated to determine the size of the ancillary information as a difference between a size of data up to a top layer and a size of a frame. The ancillary information is extracted to improve meta data and sound quality of audio contents.
