This document defines the Opus interactive speech and audio codec.
Opus is designed to handle a wide range of interactive audio applications,
including Voice over IP, videoconferencing, in-game chat, and even live,
distributed music performances.
It scales from low bitrate narrowband speech at 6 kb/s to very high quality
stereo music at 510 kb/s.
Opus uses both linear prediction (LP) and the Modified Discrete Cosine
Transform (MDCT) to achieve good compression of both speech and music.
</t>

<section anchor="introduction" title="Introduction">
<t>
The Opus codec is a real-time interactive audio codec designed to meet the requirements
described in <xref target="requirements"></xref>.
It is composed of a linear
prediction (LP)-based <xref target="LPC"/> layer and a Modified Discrete Cosine Transform
(MDCT)-based <xref target="MDCT"/> layer.
The main idea behind using two layers is that in speech, linear prediction
techniques (such as Code-Excited Linear Prediction, or CELP) code low frequencies more efficiently than transform
(e.g., MDCT) domain techniques, while the situation is reversed for music and
higher speech frequencies.
Thus a codec with both layers available can operate over a wider range than
either one alone and, by combining them, achieve better quality than either
one individually.
</t>
<t>
The primary normative part of this specification is provided by the source code
in <xref target="ref-implementation"></xref>.
Only the decoder portion of this software is normative, though a
significant amount of code is shared by both the encoder and decoder.
<xref target="conformance"/> provides a decoder conformance test.
The decoder contains a great deal of integer and fixed-point arithmetic which
needs to be performed exactly, including all rounding considerations, so any
useful specification requires domain-specific symbolic language to adequately
define these operations.
Additionally, any
conflict between the symbolic representation and the included reference
implementation must be resolved. For the practical reasons of compatibility and
testability it would be advantageous to give the reference implementation
priority in any disagreement. The C language is also one of the most
widely understood human-readable symbolic representations for machine
behavior.
For these reasons this RFC uses the reference implementation as the sole
symbolic representation of the codec.
</t>
<t>While the symbolic representation is unambiguous and complete it is not
always the easiest way to understand the codec's operation. For this reason
this document also describes significant parts of the codec in English and
takes the opportunity to explain the rationale behind many of the more
surprising elements of the design. These descriptions are intended to be
accurate and informative, but the limitations of common English sometimes
result in ambiguity, so it is expected that the reader will always read
them alongside the symbolic representation. Numerous references to the
implementation are provided for this purpose. The descriptions sometimes
differ from the reference in ordering or through mathematical simplification
wherever such deviation makes an explanation easier to understand.
For example, the right shift and left shift operations in the reference
implementation are often described using division and multiplication in the text.
In general, the text is focused on the "what" and "why" while the symbolic
representation most clearly provides the "how".
</t>
<section anchor="notation" title="Notation and Conventions">
<t>
The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT", "SHOULD",
"SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in this document are to be
interpreted as described in RFC 2119 <xref target="rfc2119"></xref>.
</t>
<t>
Various operations in the codec require bit-exact fixed-point behavior, even
when writing a floating point implementation.
The notation "Q<n>", where n is an integer, denotes the number of binary
digits to the right of the decimal point in a fixed-point number.
For example, a signed Q14 value in a 16-bit word can represent values from
-2.0 to 1.99993896484375, inclusive.
This notation is for informational purposes only.
Arithmetic, when described, always operates on the underlying integer.
E.g., the text will explicitly indicate any shifts required after a
multiplication.

Expressions, where included in the text, follow C operator rules and
precedence, with the exception that the syntax "x**y" indicates x raised to
the power y.

<section anchor="overview" title="Opus Codec Overview">
<t>
The Opus codec scales from 6 kb/s narrowband mono speech to 510 kb/s
fullband stereo music, with algorithmic delays ranging from 5 ms to
65.2 ms.
At any given time, either the LP layer, the MDCT layer, or both, may be active.
It can seamlessly switch between all of its various operating modes, giving it
a great deal of flexibility to adapt to varying content and network
conditions without renegotiating the current session.
The codec allows input and output of various audio bandwidths, defined as
follows:
</t>
<texttable anchor="audio-bandwidth">
<ttcol>Abbreviation</ttcol>
<ttcol align="right">Audio Bandwidth</ttcol>
<ttcol align="right">Sample Rate (Effective)</ttcol>
<c>NB (narrowband)</c> <c>4 kHz</c> <c>8 kHz</c>
<c>MB (medium-band)</c> <c>6 kHz</c> <c>12 kHz</c>
<c>WB (wideband)</c> <c>8 kHz</c> <c>16 kHz</c>
<c>SWB (super-wideband)</c> <c>12 kHz</c> <c>24 kHz</c>
<c>FB (fullband)</c> <c>20 kHz (*)</c> <c>48 kHz</c>
</texttable>
<t>
(*) Although the sampling theorem allows a bandwidth as large as half the
sampling rate, Opus never codes audio above 20 kHz, as that is the
generally accepted upper limit of human hearing.
</t>
<t>
Opus defines super-wideband (SWB) with an effective sample rate of 24 kHz,
unlike some other audio coding standards that use 32 kHz.
This was chosen for a number of reasons.
The band layout in the MDCT layer naturally allows skipping coefficients for
frequencies over 12 kHz, but does not allow cleanly dropping just those
frequencies over 16 kHz.
A sample rate of 24 kHz also makes resampling in the MDCT layer easier,
as 24 evenly divides 48, and when 24 kHz is sufficient, it can save
computation in other processing, such as Acoustic Echo Cancellation (AEC).
Experimental changes to the band layout to allow a 16 kHz cutoff
(32 kHz effective sample rate) showed potential quality degradations at
other sample rates, and at typical bitrates the number of bits saved by using
such a cutoff instead of coding in fullband (FB) mode is very small.
Therefore, if an application wishes to process a signal sampled at 32 kHz,
it should just use FB.
</t>
<t>
The LP layer is based on the SILK codec
<xref target="SILK"></xref>.
It supports NB, MB, or WB audio and frame sizes from 10 ms to 60 ms,
and requires an additional 5 ms look-ahead for noise shaping estimation.
A small additional delay (up to 1.5 ms) may be required for sampling rate
conversion.
Like Vorbis <xref target='Vorbis-website'/> and many other modern codecs, SILK is inherently designed for
variable-bitrate (VBR) coding, though the encoder can also produce
constant-bitrate (CBR) streams.
The version of SILK used in Opus is substantially modified from, and not
compatible with, the stand-alone SILK codec previously deployed by Skype.
This document does not serve to define that format, but those interested in the
original SILK codec should see <xref target="SILK"/> instead.
</t>
<t>
The MDCT layer is based on the CELT codec <xref target="CELT"></xref>.
It supports NB, WB, SWB, or FB audio and frame sizes from 2.5 ms to
20 ms, and requires an additional 2.5 ms look-ahead due to the
overlapping MDCT windows.
The CELT codec is inherently designed for CBR coding, but unlike many CBR
codecs it is not limited to a set of predetermined rates.
It internally allocates bits to exactly fill any given target budget, and an
encoder can produce a VBR stream by varying the target on a per-frame basis.
The MDCT layer is not used for speech when the audio bandwidth is WB or less,
as it is not useful there.
On the other hand, non-speech signals are not always adequately coded using
linear prediction, so for music only the MDCT layer should be used.
</t>
<t>
A "Hybrid" mode allows the use of both layers simultaneously with a frame size
of 10 or 20 ms and a SWB or FB audio bandwidth.
The LP layer codes the low frequencies by resampling the signal down to WB.
The MDCT layer follows, coding the high frequency portion of the signal.
The cutoff between the two lies at 8 kHz, the maximum WB audio bandwidth.
In the MDCT layer, all bands below 8 kHz are discarded, so there is no
coding redundancy between the two layers.
</t>
<t>
The sample rate (in contrast to the actual audio bandwidth) can be chosen
independently on the encoder and decoder side, e.g., a fullband signal can be
decoded as wideband, or vice versa.
This approach ensures a sender and receiver can always interoperate, regardless
of the capabilities of their actual audio hardware.
Internally, the LP layer always operates at a sample rate of twice the audio
bandwidth, up to a maximum of 16 kHz, which it continues to use for SWB
and FB.
The decoder simply resamples its output to support different sample rates.
The MDCT layer always operates internally at a sample rate of 48 kHz.
Since all the supported sample rates evenly divide this rate, and since the
the decoder may easily zero out the high frequency portion of the spectrum in
the frequency domain, it can simply decimate the MDCT layer output to achieve
the other supported sample rates very cheaply.
</t>
<t>
After conversion to the common, desired output sample rate, the decoder simply
adds the output from the two layers together.
To compensate for the different look-ahead required by each layer, the CELT
encoder input is delayed by an additional 2.7 ms.
This ensures that low frequencies and high frequencies arrive at the same time.
This extra delay may be reduced by an encoder by using less look-ahead for noise
shaping or using a simpler resampler in the LP layer, but this will reduce
quality.
However, the base 2.5 ms look-ahead in the CELT layer cannot be reduced in
the encoder because it is needed for the MDCT overlap, whose size is fixed by
the decoder.
</t>
<t>
Both layers use the same entropy coder, avoiding any waste from "padding bits"
between them.
The hybrid approach makes it easy to support both CBR and VBR coding.
Although the LP layer is VBR, the bit allocation of the MDCT layer can produce
a final stream that is CBR by using all the bits left unused by the LP layer.
</t>
<section title="Control Parameters">
<t>
The Opus codec includes a number of control parameters which can be changed dynamically during
regular operation of the codec, without interrupting the audio stream from the encoder to the decoder.
These parameters only affect the encoder since any impact they have on the bit-stream is signaled
in-band such that a decoder can decode any Opus stream without any out-of-band signaling. Any Opus
implementation can add or modify these control parameters without affecting interoperability. The most
important encoder control parameters in the reference encoder are listed below.
</t>
<section title="Bitrate" toc="exlcude">
<t>
Opus supports all bitrates from 6 kb/s to 510 kb/s. All other parameters being
equal, higher bitrate results in higher quality. For a frame size of 20 ms, these
are the bitrate "sweet spots" for Opus in various configurations:
<list style="symbols">
<t>8-12 kb/s for NB speech,</t>
<t>16-20 kb/s for WB speech,</t>
<t>28-40 kb/s for FB speech,</t>
<t>48-64 kb/s for FB mono music, and</t>
<t>64-128 kb/s for FB stereo music.</t>
</list>
</t>
</section>
<section title="Number of Channels (Mono/Stereo)" toc="exlcude">
<t>
Opus can transmit either mono or stereo frames within a single stream.
When decoding a mono frame in a stereo decoder, the left and right channels are
identical, and when decoding a stereo frame in a mono decoder, the mono output
is the average of the left and right channels.
In some cases, it is desirable to encode a stereo input stream in mono (e.g.,
because the bitrate is too low to encode stereo with sufficient quality).
The number of channels encoded can be selected in real-time, but by default the
reference encoder attempts to make the best decision possible given the
current bitrate.
</t>
</section>
<section title="Audio Bandwidth" toc="exlcude">
<t>
The audio bandwidths supported by Opus are listed in
<xref target="audio-bandwidth"/>.
Just like for the number of channels, any decoder can decode audio encoded at
any bandwidth.
For example, any Opus decoder operating at 8 kHz can decode a FB Opus
frame, and any Opus decoder operating at 48 kHz can decode a NB frame.
Similarly, the reference encoder can take a 48 kHz input signal and
encode it as NB.
The higher the audio bandwidth, the higher the required bitrate to achieve
acceptable quality.
The audio bandwidth can be explicitly specified in real-time, but by default
the reference encoder attempts to make the best bandwidth decision possible
given the current bitrate.
</t>
</section>
<section title="Frame Duration" toc="exlcude">
<t>
Opus can encode frames of 2.5, 5, 10, 20, 40 or 60 ms.
It can also combine multiple frames into packets of up to 120 ms.
For real-time applications, sending fewer packets per second reduces the
bitrate, since it reduces the overhead from IP, UDP, and RTP headers.
However, it increases latency and sensitivity to packet losses, as losing one
packet constitutes a loss of a bigger chunk of audio.
Increasing the frame duration also slightly improves coding efficiency, but the
gain becomes small for frame sizes above 20 ms.
For this reason, 20 ms frames are a good choice for most applications.
</t>
</section>
<section title="Complexity" toc="exlcude">
<t>
There are various aspects of the Opus encoding process where trade-offs
can be made between CPU complexity and quality/bitrate. In the reference
encoder, the complexity is selected using an integer from 0 to 10, where
0 is the lowest complexity and 10 is the highest. Examples of
computations for which such trade-offs may occur are:
<list style="symbols">
<t>The order of the pitch analysis whitening filter <xref target="Whitening"/>,</t>
<t>The order of the short-term noise shaping filter,</t>
<t>The number of states in delayed decision quantization of the
residual signal, and</t>
<t>The use of certain bit-stream features such as variable time-frequency
resolution and the pitch post-filter.</t>
</list>
</t>
</section>
<section title="Packet Loss Resilience" toc="exlcude">
<t>
Audio codecs often exploit inter-frame correlations to reduce the
bitrate at a cost in error propagation: after losing one packet
several packets need to be received before the decoder is able to
accurately reconstruct the speech signal. The extent to which Opus
exploits inter-frame dependencies can be adjusted on the fly to
choose a trade-off between bitrate and amount of error propagation.
</t>
</section>
<section title="Forward Error Correction (FEC)" toc="exlcude">
<t>
Another mechanism providing robustness against packet loss is the in-band
Forward Error Correction (FEC). Packets that are determined to
contain perceptually important speech information, such as onsets or
transients, are encoded again at a lower bitrate and this re-encoded
information is added to a subsequent packet.
</t>
</section>
<section title="Constant/Variable Bitrate" toc="exlcude">
<t>
Opus is more efficient when operating with variable bitrate (VBR), which is
the default. When low-latency transmission is required over a relatively slow connection, then
constrained VBR can also be used. This uses VBR in a way that simulates a
"bit reservoir" and is equivalent to what MP3 (MPEG 1, Layer 3) and
AAC (Advanced Audio Coding) call CBR (i.e., not true
CBR due to the bit reservoir). In some (rare) applications, constant bitrate (CBR)
is required. There are two main reasons to operate in CBR mode:
<list style="symbols">
<t>When the transport only supports a fixed size for each compressed frame</t>
<t>When encryption is used for an audio stream that is either highly constrained
(e.g. yes/no, recorded prompts) or highly sensitive <xref target="SRTP-VBR"></xref> </t>
</list>
Bitrate may still be allowed
to vary, even with sensitive data, as long as the variation is not
driven by the input signal (for example, to match changing network
conditions). To achieve this, an application should still run Opus
in CBR mode, but change the target rate before each packet.
</t>
</section>
<section title="Discontinuous Transmission (DTX)" toc="exlcude">
<t>
Discontinuous Transmission (DTX) reduces the bitrate during silence
or background noise. When DTX is enabled, only one frame is encoded
every 400 milliseconds.
</t>
</section>
</section>
</section>
<section anchor="modes" title="Internal Framing">
<t>
The Opus encoder produces "packets", which are each a contiguous set of bytes
meant to be transmitted as a single unit.
The packets described here do not include such things as IP, UDP, or RTP
headers which are normally found in a transport-layer packet.
A single packet may contain multiple audio frames, so long as they share a
common set of parameters, including the operating mode, audio bandwidth, frame
size, and channel count (mono vs. stereo).
This section describes the possible combinations of these parameters and the
internal framing used to pack multiple frames into a single packet.
This framing is not self-delimiting.
Instead, it assumes that a lower layer (such as UDP or RTP <xref target='RFC3550'/>
or Ogg <xref target='RFC3533'/> or Matroska <xref target='Matroska-website'/>)
will communicate the length, in bytes, of the packet, and it uses this
information to reduce the framing overhead in the packet itself.
A decoder implementation MUST support the framing described in this section.
An alternative, self-delimiting variant of the framing is described in
<xref target="self-delimiting-framing"/>.
Support for that variant is OPTIONAL.
</t>
<t>
All bit diagrams in this document number the bits so that bit 0 is the most
significant bit of the first byte, and bit 7 is the least significant.
Bit 8 is thus the most significant bit of the second byte, etc.
Well-formed Opus packets obey certain requirements, marked [R1] through [R7]
below.
These are summarized in <xref target="malformed-packets"/> along with
appropriate means of handling malformed packets.
</t>
<section anchor="toc_byte" title="The TOC Byte">
<t anchor="R1">
A well-formed Opus packet MUST contain at least one byte [R1].
This byte forms a table-of-contents (TOC) header that signals which of the
various modes and configurations a given packet uses.
It is composed of a configuration number, "config", a stereo flag, "s", and a
frame count code, "c", arranged as illustrated in
<xref target="toc_byte_fig"/>.
A description of each of these fields follows.

The top five bits of the TOC byte, labeled "config", encode one of 32 possible
configurations of operating mode, audio bandwidth, and frame size.
As described, the LP (SILK) layer and MDCT (CELT) layer can be combined in three possible
operating modes:
<list style="numbers">
<t>A SILK-only mode for use in low bitrate connections with an audio bandwidth
of WB or less,</t>

transmission (NB to FB).</t>

For example, configuration 0 has a 10 ms frame size and configuration 3
has a 60 ms frame size.
</t>
<t>
One additional bit, labeled "s", signals mono vs. stereo, with 0 indicating
mono and 1 indicating stereo.
</t>
<t>
The remaining two bits of the TOC byte, labeled "c", code the number of frames
per packet (codes 0 to 3) as follows:
<list style="symbols">
<t>0: 1 frame in the packet</t>
<t>1: 2 frames in the packet, each with equal compressed size</t>
<t>2: 2 frames in the packet, with different compressed sizes</t>
<t>3: an arbitrary number of frames in the packet</t>
</list>
This draft refers to a packet as a code 0 packet, code 1 packet, etc., based on
the value of "c".
</t>
</section>
<section title="Frame Packing">
<t>
This section describes how frames are packed according to each possible value
of "c" in the TOC byte.
</t>
<section anchor="frame-length-coding" title="Frame Length Coding">
<t>
When a packet contains multiple VBR frames (i.e., code 2 or 3), the compressed
length of one or more of these frames is indicated with a one- or two-byte
sequence, with the meaning of the first byte as follows:
<list style="symbols">
<t>0: No frame (discontinuous transmission (DTX) or lost packet)</t>
<t>1...251: Length of the frame in bytes</t>
<t>252...255: A second byte is needed. The total length is (second_byte*4)+first_byte</t>
</list>
</t>
<t>
The special length 0 indicates that no frame is available, either because it
was dropped during transmission by some intermediary or because the encoder
chose not to transmit it.
Any Opus frame in any mode MAY have a length of 0.
</t>
<t>
The maximum representable length is 255*4+255=1275 bytes.
For 20 ms frames, this represents a bitrate of 510 kb/s, which is
approximately the highest useful rate for lossily compressed fullband stereo
music.
Beyond this point, lossless codecs are more appropriate.
It is also roughly the maximum useful rate of the MDCT layer, as shortly
thereafter quality no longer improves with additional bits due to limitations
on the codebook sizes.
</t>
<t anchor="R2">
No length is transmitted for the last frame in a VBR packet, or for any of the
frames in a CBR packet, as it can be inferred from the total size of the
packet and the size of all other data in the packet.
However, the length of any individual frame MUST NOT exceed
1275 bytes [R2], to allow for repacketization by gateways,
conference bridges, or other software.
</t>

For code 2 packets, the TOC byte is followed by a one- or two-byte sequence
indicating the length of the first frame (marked N1 in <xref target='code2_packet'/>),
followed by N1 bytes of compressed data for the first frame.
The remaining N-N1-2 or N-N1-3 bytes are the compressed data for the
second frame.
This is illustrated in <xref target="code2_packet"/>.
A code 2 packet MUST contain enough bytes to represent a valid length.
For example, a 1-byte code 2 packet is always invalid, and a 2-byte code 2
packet whose second byte is in the range 252...255 is also invalid.
The length of the first frame, N1, MUST also be no larger than the size of the
payload remaining after decoding that length for all code 2 packets [R4].
This makes, for example, a 2-byte code 2 packet with a second byte in the range
1...251 invalid as well (the only valid 2-byte code 2 packet is one where the
length of both frames is zero).

<section title="Code 3: A Signaled Number of Frames in the Packet">
<t anchor="R5">
Code 3 packets signal the number of frames, as well as additional
padding, called "Opus padding" to indicate that this padding is added at the
Opus layer, rather than at the transport layer.
Code 3 packets MUST have at least 2 bytes [R6,R7].
The TOC byte is followed by a byte encoding the number of frames in the packet
in bits 2 to 7 (marked "M" in <xref target='frame_count_byte'/>), with bit 1 indicating whether
or not Opus padding is inserted (marked "p" in <xref target='frame_count_byte'/>), and bit 0
indicating VBR (marked "v" in <xref target='frame_count_byte'/>).
M MUST NOT be zero, and the audio duration contained within a packet MUST NOT
exceed 120 ms [R5].
This limits the maximum frame count for any frame size to 48 (for 2.5 ms
frames), with lower limits for longer frame sizes.
<xref target="frame_count_byte"/> illustrates the layout of the frame count
byte.

</figure>
<t>
When Opus padding is used, the number of bytes of padding is encoded in the
bytes following the frame count byte.
Values from 0...254 indicate that 0...254 bytes of padding are included,
in addition to the byte(s) used to indicate the size of the padding.
If the value is 255, then the size of the additional padding is 254 bytes,
plus the padding value encoded in the next byte.
There MUST be at least one more byte in the packet in this case [R6,R7].
The additional padding bytes appear at the end of the packet, and MUST be set
to zero by the encoder to avoid creating a covert channel.
The decoder MUST accept any value for the padding bytes, however.
</t>
<t>
Although this encoding provides multiple ways to indicate a given number of
padding bytes, each uses a different number of bytes to indicate the padding
size, and thus will increase the total packet size by a different amount.
For example, to add 255 bytes to a packet, set the padding bit, p, to 1, insert
a single byte after the frame count byte with a value of 254, and append 254
padding bytes with the value zero to the end of the packet.
To add 256 bytes to a packet, set the padding bit to 1, insert two bytes after
the frame count byte with the values 255 and 0, respectively, and append 254
padding bytes with the value zero to the end of the packet.
By using the value 255 multiple times, it is possible to create a packet of any
specific, desired size.
Let P be the number of header bytes used to indicate the padding size plus the
number of padding bytes themselves (i.e., P is the total number of bytes added
to the packet).
Then P MUST be no more than N-2 [R6,R7].
</t>
<t anchor="R6">
In the CBR case, let R=N-2-P be the number of bytes remaining in the packet
after subtracting the (optional) padding.
Then the compressed length of each frame in bytes is equal to R/M.
The value R MUST be a non-negative integer multiple of M [R6].
The compressed data for all M frames follows, each of size
R/M bytes, as illustrated in <xref target="code3cbr_packet"/>.

lengths (indicated by "N1" to "N[M-1]" in <xref target='code3vbr_packet'/>), each encoded in a

The packet MUST contain enough data for the M-1 lengths after removing the

At any given time, one or both of the SILK and CELT decoders may be active.
The output of the Opus decode is the sum of the outputs from the SILK and CELT
decoders with proper sample rate conversion and delay compensation on the SILK

48 kHz) on the CELT side, as illustrated in the block diagram below.

Opus uses an entropy coder based on range coding <xref target="range-coding"></xref>
<xref target="Martin79"></xref>,
which is itself a rediscovery of the FIFO arithmetic code introduced by <xref target="coding-thesis"></xref>.
It is very similar to arithmetic encoding, except that encoding is done with
digits in any base instead of with bits,
so it is faster when using larger bases (i.e., a byte). All of the
calculations in the range coder must use bit-exact integer arithmetic.
</t>
<t>
Symbols may also be coded as "raw bits" packed directly into the bitstream,
bypassing the range coder.
These are packed backwards starting at the end of the frame, as illustrated in
<xref target="rawbits-example"/>.
This reduces complexity and makes the stream more resilient to bit errors, as
corruption in the raw bits will not desynchronize the decoding process, unlike
corruption in the input to the range decoder.
Raw bits are only used in the CELT layer.

Each symbol coded by the range coder is drawn from a finite alphabet and coded
in a separate "context", which describes the size of the alphabet and the
relative frequency of each symbol in that alphabet.
</t>
<t>
Suppose there is a context with n symbols, identified with an index that ranges
from 0 to n-1.
The parameters needed to encode or decode symbol k in this context are
represented by a three-tuple (fl[k], fh[k], ft), all 16-bit unsigned
integers, with
0 <= fl[k] < fh[k] <= ft <= 65535.
The values of this tuple are derived from the probability model for the
symbol, represented by traditional "frequency counts".
Because Opus uses static contexts these are not updated as symbols are decoded.
Let f[i] be the frequency of symbol i.
Then the three-tuple corresponding to symbol k is given by

The range decoder extracts the symbols and integers encoded using the range
encoder in <xref target="range-encoder"/>.
The range decoder maintains an internal state vector composed of the two-tuple
(val, rng), representing the difference between the high end of the
current range and the actual coded value, minus one, and the size of the
current range, respectively.
Both val and rng are 32-bit unsigned integer values.
</t>
<section anchor="range-decoder-init" title="Range Decoder Initialization">
<t>
Let b0 be an 8-bit unsigned integer containing first input byte (or containing
zero if there are no bytes in this Opus frame).
The decoder initializes rng to 128 and initializes val to
(127 - (b0>>1)), where (b0>>1) is the top 7 bits of the
first input byte.
It saves the remaining bit, (b0&1), for use in the renormalization
procedure described in <xref target="range-decoder-renorm"/>, which the
decoder invokes immediately after initialization to read additional bits and
establish the invariant that rng > 2**23.
</t>
</section>
<section anchor="decoding-symbols" title="Decoding Symbols">
<t>
Decoding a symbol is a two-step process.
The first step determines a 16-bit unsigned value fs, which lies within the
range of some symbol in the current context.
The second step updates the range decoder state with the three-tuple
(fl[k], fh[k], ft) corresponding to that symbol.
</t>
<t>
The first step is implemented by ec_decode() (entdec.c), which computes
<figure align="center">
<artwork align="center"><![CDATA[
val
fs = ft - min(------ + 1, ft) .
rng/ft
]]></artwork>
</figure>
The divisions here are integer division.
</t>
<t>
The decoder then identifies the symbol in the current context corresponding to
fs; i.e., the value of k whose three-tuple (fl[k], fh[k], ft)
satisfies fl[k] <= fs < fh[k].
It uses this tuple to update val according to
<figure align="center">
<artwork align="center"><![CDATA[
rng
val = val - --- * (ft - fh[k]) .
ft
]]></artwork>
</figure>
If fl[k] is greater than zero, then the decoder updates rng using
<figure align="center">
<artwork align="center"><![CDATA[
rng
rng = --- * (fh[k] - fl[k]) .

</figure>
Otherwise, it updates rng using

</figure>
</t>
<t>
Using a special case for the first symbol (rather than the last symbol, as is
commonly done in other arithmetic coders) ensures that all the truncation
error from the finite precision arithmetic accumulates in symbol 0.
This makes the cost of coding a 0 slightly smaller, on average, than its
estimated probability indicates and makes the cost of coding any other symbol
slightly larger.
When contexts are designed so that 0 is the most probable symbol, which is
often the case, this strategy minimizes the inefficiency introduced by the
finite precision.
It also makes some of the special-case decoding routines in
<xref target="decoding-alternate"/> particularly simple.
</t>
<t>
After the updates, implemented by ec_dec_update() (entdec.c), the decoder
normalizes the range using the procedure in the next section, and returns the
index k.
</t>
<section anchor="range-decoder-renorm" title="Renormalization">
<t>
To normalize the range, the decoder repeats the following process, implemented
by ec_dec_normalize() (entdec.c), until rng > 2**23.
If rng is already greater than 2**23, the entire process is skipped.
First, it sets rng to (rng<<8).
Then it reads the next byte of the Opus frame and forms an 8-bit value sym,
using the left-over bit buffered from the previous byte as the high bit
and the top 7 bits of the byte just read as the other 7 bits of sym.
The remaining bit in the byte just read is buffered for use in the next
iteration.
If no more input bytes remain, it uses zero bits instead.
See <xref target="range-decoder-init"/> for the initialization used to process
the first byte.
Then, it sets

It is normal and expected that the range decoder will read several bytes
into the raw bits data (if any) at the end of the packet by the time the frame
is completely decoded, as illustrated in <xref target="finalize-example"/>.
This same data MUST also be returned as raw bits when requested.
The encoder is expected to terminate the stream in such a way that the decoder
will decode the intended values regardless of the data contained in the raw
bits.
<xref target="encoder-finalizing"/> describes a procedure for doing this.
If the range decoder consumes all of the bytes belonging to the current frame,
it MUST continue to use zero when any further input bytes are required, even
if there is additional data in the current packet from padding or other
frames.

<section anchor="decoding-alternate" title="Alternate Decoding Methods">
<t>
The reference implementation uses three additional decoding methods that are
exactly equivalent to the above, but make assumptions and simplifications that
allow for a more efficient implementation.
</t>
<section anchor="ec_decode_bin" title="ec_decode_bin()">
<t>
The first is ec_decode_bin() (entdec.c), defined using the parameter ftb
instead of ft.
It is mathematically equivalent to calling ec_decode() with
ft = (1<<ftb), but avoids one of the divisions.
</t>
</section>
<section anchor="ec_dec_bit_logp" title="ec_dec_bit_logp()">
<t>
The next is ec_dec_bit_logp() (entdec.c), which decodes a single binary symbol,
replacing both the ec_decode() and ec_dec_update() steps.
The context is described by a single parameter, logp, which is the absolute
value of the base-2 logarithm of the probability of a "1".
It is mathematically equivalent to calling ec_decode() with
ft = (1<<logp), followed by ec_dec_update() with
the 3-tuple (fl[k] = 0,
fh[k] = (1<<logp) - 1,
ft = (1<<logp)) if the returned value
of fs is less than (1<<logp) - 1 (a "0" was decoded), and with
(fl[k] = (1<<logp) - 1,
fh[k] = ft = (1<<logp)) otherwise (a "1" was
decoded).
The implementation requires no multiplications or divisions.
</t>
</section>
<section anchor="ec_dec_icdf" title="ec_dec_icdf()">
<t>
The last is ec_dec_icdf() (entdec.c), which decodes a single symbol with a
table-based context of up to 8 bits, also replacing both the ec_decode() and
ec_dec_update() steps, as well as the search for the decoded symbol in between.
The context is described by two parameters, an icdf
("inverse" cumulative distribution function) table and ftb.
As with ec_decode_bin(), (1<<ftb) is equivalent to ft.
idcf[k], on the other hand, stores (1<<ftb)-fh[k], which is equal to
(1<<ftb) - fl[k+1].
fl[0] is assumed to be 0, and the table is terminated by a value of 0 (where
fh[k] == ft).
</t>
<t>
The function is mathematically equivalent to calling ec_decode() with
ft = (1<<ftb), using the returned value fs to search the table
for the first entry where fs < (1<<ftb)-icdf[k], and
calling ec_dec_update() with
fl[k] = (1<<ftb) - icdf[k-1] (or 0
if k == 0), fh[k] = (1<<ftb) - idcf[k],
and ft = (1<<ftb).
Combining the search with the update allows the division to be replaced by a
series of multiplications (which are usually much cheaper), and using an
inverse CDF allows the use of an ftb as large as 8 in an 8-bit table without
any special cases.
This is the primary interface with the range decoder in the SILK layer, though
it is used in a few places in the CELT layer as well.
</t>
<t>
Although icdf[k] is more convenient for the code, the frequency counts, f[k],
are a more natural representation of the probability distribution function
(PDF) for a given symbol.
Therefore this document lists the latter, not the former, when describing the
context in which a symbol is coded as a list, e.g., {4, 4, 4, 4}/16 for a
uniform context with four possible values and ft = 16.
The value of ft after the slash is always the sum of the entries in the PDF,
but is included for convenience.
Contexts with identical probabilities, f[k]/ft, but different values of ft
(or equivalently, ftb) are not the same, and cannot, in general, be used in
place of one another.
An icdf table is also not capable of representing a PDF where the first symbol
has 0 probability.
In such contexts, ec_dec_icdf() can decode the symbol by using a table that
drops the entries for any initial zero-probability values and adding the
constant offset of the first value with a non-zero probability to its return
value.

<section anchor="decoding-bits" title="Decoding Raw Bits">
<t>
The raw bits used by the CELT layer are packed at the end of the packet, with
the least significant bit of the first value packed in the least significant
bit of the last byte, filling up to the most significant bit in the last byte,
continuing on to the least significant bit of the penultimate byte, and so on.
The reference implementation reads them using ec_dec_bits() (entdec.c).
Because the range decoder must read several bytes ahead in the stream, as
described in <xref target="range-decoder-renorm"/>, the input consumed by the
raw bits may overlap with the input consumed by the range coder, and a decoder
MUST allow this.
The format should render it impossible to attempt to read more raw bits than
there are actual bits in the frame, though a decoder may wish to check for
this and report an error.
</t>
</section>
<section anchor="ec_dec_uint" title="Decoding Uniformly Distributed Integers">
<t>
The function ec_dec_uint() (entdec.c) decodes one of ft equiprobable values in
the range 0 to (ft - 1), inclusive, each with a frequency of 1,
where ft may be as large as (2**32 - 1).
Because ec_decode() is limited to a total frequency of (2**16 - 1),
it splits up the value into a range coded symbol representing up to 8 of the
high bits, and, if necessary, raw bits representing the remainder of the
value.
The limit of 8 bits in the range coded symbol is a trade-off between
implementation complexity, modeling error (since the symbols no longer truly
have equal coding cost), and rounding error introduced by the range coder
itself (which gets larger as more bits are included).
Using raw bits reduces the maximum number of divisions required in the worst
case, but means that it may be possible to decode a value outside the range
0 to (ft - 1), inclusive.
</t>
<t>
ec_dec_uint() takes a single, positive parameter, ft, which is not necessarily
a power of two, and returns an integer, t, whose value lies between 0 and
(ft - 1), inclusive.
Let ftb = ilog(ft - 1), i.e., the number of bits required
to store (ft - 1) in two's complement notation.
If ftb is 8 or less, then t is decoded with t = ec_decode(ft), and
the range coder state is updated using the three-tuple (t, t + 1,
ft).
</t>
<t>
If ftb is greater than 8, then the top 8 bits of t are decoded using
<figure align="center">
<artwork align="center"><![CDATA[
t = ec_decode(((ft - 1) >> (ftb - 8)) + 1) ,
]]></artwork>
</figure>
the decoder state is updated using the three-tuple
(t, t + 1,
((ft - 1) >> (ftb - 8)) + 1),
and the remaining bits are decoded as raw bits, setting
<figure align="center">
<artwork align="center"><![CDATA[
t = (t << (ftb - 8)) | ec_dec_bits(ftb - 8) .
]]></artwork>
</figure>
If, at this point, t >= ft, then the current frame is corrupt.
In that case, the decoder should assume there has been an error in the coding,
decoding, or transmission and SHOULD take measures to conceal the
error (e.g. saturate to ft-1 or use the PLC) and/or report to the application
that the error has occurred.
</t>
</section>
<section anchor="decoder-tell" title="Current Bit Usage">
<t>
The bit allocation routines in the CELT decoder need a conservative upper bound
on the number of bits that have been used from the current frame thus far,
including both range coder bits and raw bits.
This drives allocation decisions that must match those made in the encoder.
The upper bound is computed in the reference implementation to whole-bit
precision by the function ec_tell() (entcode.h) and to fractional 1/8th bit
precision by the function ec_tell_frac() (entcode.c).
Like all operations in the range coder, it must be implemented in a bit-exact
manner, and must produce exactly the same value returned by the same functions
in the encoder after encoding the same symbols.
</t>
<t>
ec_tell() is guaranteed to return ceil(ec_tell_frac()/8.0).
In various places the codec will check to ensure there is enough room to
contain a symbol before attempting to decode it.
In practice, although the number of bits used so far is an upper bound,
decoding a symbol whose probability model suggests it has a worst-case cost of
p 1/8th bits may actually advance the return value of ec_tell_frac() by
p-1, p, or p+1 1/8th bits, due to approximation error in that upper bound,
truncation error in the range coder, and for large values of ft, modeling
error in ec_dec_uint().
</t>
<t>
However, this error is bounded, and periodic calls to ec_tell() or
ec_tell_frac() at precisely defined points in the decoding process prevent it
from accumulating.
For a range coder symbol that requires a whole number of bits (i.e.,
for which ft/(fh[k] - fl[k]) is a power of two), where there are at
least p 1/8th bits available, decoding the symbol will never cause ec_tell() or
ec_tell_frac() to exceed the size of the frame ("bust the budget").
In this case the return value of ec_tell_frac() will only advance by more than
p 1/8th bits if there was an additional, fractional number of bits remaining,
and it will never advance beyond the next whole-bit boundary, which is safe,
since frames always contain a whole number of bits.
However, when p is not a whole number of bits, an extra 1/8th bit is required
to ensure that decoding the symbol will not bust the budget.
</t>
<t>
The reference implementation keeps track of the total number of whole bits that
have been processed by the decoder so far in the variable nbits_total,
including the (possibly fractional) number of bits that are currently
buffered, but not consumed, inside the range coder.
nbits_total is initialized to 9 just before the initial range renormalization
process completes (or equivalently, it can be initialized to 33 after the
first renormalization).
The extra two bits over the actual amount buffered by the range coder
guarantees that it is an upper bound and that there is enough room for the
encoder to terminate the stream.
Each iteration through the range coder's renormalization loop increases
nbits_total by 8.
Reading raw bits increases nbits_total by the number of raw bits read.
</t>
<section anchor="ec_tell" title="ec_tell()">
<t>
The whole number of bits buffered in rng may be estimated via lg = ilog(rng).
ec_tell() then becomes a simple matter of removing these bits from the total.
It returns (nbits_total - lg).
</t>
<t>
In a newly initialized decoder, before any symbols have been read, this reports
that 1 bit has been used.
This is the bit reserved for termination of the encoder.
</t>
</section>
<section anchor="ec_tell_frac" title="ec_tell_frac()">
<t>
ec_tell_frac() estimates the number of bits buffered in rng to fractional
precision.
Since rng must be greater than 2**23 after renormalization, lg must be at least
24.
Let
<figure align="center">
<artwork align="center">
<![CDATA[
r_Q15 = rng >> (lg-16) ,
]]></artwork>
</figure>
so that 32768 <= r_Q15 < 65536, an unsigned Q15 value representing the
fractional part of rng.
Then the following procedure can be used to add one bit of precision to lg.
First, update
<figure align="center">
<artwork align="center">
<![CDATA[
r_Q15 = (r_Q15*r_Q15) >> 15 .
]]></artwork>
</figure>
Then add the 16th bit of r_Q15 to lg via
<figure align="center">
<artwork align="center">
<![CDATA[
lg = 2*lg + (r_Q15 >> 16) .
]]></artwork>
</figure>
Finally, if this bit was a 1, reduce r_Q15 by a factor of two via
<figure align="center">
<artwork align="center">
<![CDATA[
r_Q15 = r_Q15 >> 1 ,
]]></artwork>
</figure>
so that it once again lies in the range 32768 <= r_Q15 < 65536.
</t>
<t>
This procedure is repeated three times to extend lg to 1/8th bit precision.
ec_tell_frac() then returns (nbits_total*8 - lg).

The decoder's LP layer uses a modified version of the SILK codec (herein simply

The decoder feeds the bitstream (1) to the range decoder from
<xref target="range-decoder"/>, and then decodes the parameters in it (2)
using the procedures detailed in
Sections <xref format="counter" target="silk_header_bits"/>
through <xref format="counter" target="silk_signs"/>.
These parameters (3, 4, 5) are used to generate an excitation signal (see
<xref target="silk_excitation_reconstruction"/>), which is fed to an optional
long-term prediction (LTP) filter (voiced frames only, see
<xref target="silk_ltp_synthesis"/>) and then a short-term prediction filter
(see <xref target="silk_lpc_synthesis"/>), producing the decoded signal (6).
For stereo streams, the mid-side representation is converted to separate left
and right channels (7).
The result is finally resampled to the desired output sample rate (e.g.,
48 kHz) so that the resampled signal (8) can be mixed with the CELT
layer.

</section>
<section anchor="silk_layer_organization" title="LP Layer Organization">
<t>
Internally, the LP layer of a single Opus frame is composed of either a single
10 ms regular SILK frame or between one and three 20 ms regular SILK
frames.
A stereo Opus frame may double the number of regular SILK frames (up to a total
of six), since it includes separate frames for a mid channel and, optionally,
a side channel.
Optional Low Bit-Rate Redundancy (LBRR) frames, which are reduced-bitrate
encodings of previous SILK frames, may be included to aid in recovery from
packet loss.
If present, these appear before the regular SILK frames.
They are in most respects identical to regular, active SILK frames, except that
they are usually encoded with a lower bitrate.
This draft uses "SILK frame" to refer to either one and "regular SILK frame" if
it needs to draw a distinction between the two.
</t>
<t>
Logically, each SILK frame is in turn composed of either two or four 5 ms
subframes.
Various parameters, such as the quantization gain of the excitation and the
pitch lag and filter coefficients can vary on a subframe-by-subframe basis.
Physically, the parameters for each subframe are interleaved in the bitstream,
as described in the relevant sections for each parameter.
</t>
<t>
All of these frames and subframes are decoded from the same range coder, with
no padding between them.
Thus packing multiple SILK frames in a single Opus frame saves, on average,
half a byte per SILK frame.
It also allows some parameters to be predicted from prior SILK frames in the
same Opus frame, since this does not degrade packet loss robustness (beyond
any penalty for merely using fewer, larger packets to store multiple frames).
</t>
<t>
Stereo support in SILK uses a variant of mid-side coding, allowing a mono
decoder to simply decode the mid channel.
However, the data for the two channels is interleaved, so a mono decoder must
still unpack the data for the side channel.
It would be required to do so anyway for Hybrid Opus frames, or to support
decoding individual 20 ms frames.

<section anchor="silk_header_bits" title="Header Bits">
<t>
The LP layer begins with two to eight header bits, decoded in silk_Decode()
(dec_API.c).
These consist of one Voice Activity Detection (VAD) bit per frame (up to 3),
followed by a single flag indicating the presence of LBRR frames.
For a stereo packet, these first flags correspond to the mid channel, and a
second set of flags is included for the side channel.
</t>
<t>
Because these are the first symbols decoded by the range coder and because they
are coded as binary values with uniform probability, they can be extracted
directly from the most significant bits of the first byte of compressed data.
Thus, a receiver can determine if an Opus frame contains any active SILK frames
without the overhead of using the range decoder.
</t>
</section>
<section anchor="silk_lbrr_flags" title="Per-Frame LBRR Flags">
<t>
For Opus frames longer than 20 ms, a set of LBRR flags is
decoded for each channel that has its LBRR flag set.
Each set contains one flag per 20 ms SILK frame.
40 ms Opus frames use the 2-frame LBRR flag PDF from
<xref target="silk_lbrr_flag_pdfs"/>, and 60 ms Opus frames use the
3-frame LBRR flag PDF.
For each channel, the resulting 2- or 3-bit integer contains the corresponding
LBRR flag for each frame, packed in order from the LSB to the MSB.
</t>

</texttable>
<t>
A 10 or 20 ms Opus frame does not contain any per-frame LBRR flags,
as there may be at most one LBRR frame per channel.
The global LBRR flag in the header bits (see <xref target="silk_header_bits"/>)
is already sufficient to indicate the presence of that single LBRR frame.
</t>
</section>
<section anchor="silk_lbrr_frames" title="LBRR Frames">
<t>
The LBRR frames, if present, contain an encoded representation of the signal
immediately prior to the current Opus frame as if it were encoded with the
current mode, frame size, audio bandwidth, and channel count, even if those
differ from the prior Opus frame.
When one of these parameters changes from one Opus frame to the next, this
implies that the LBRR frames of the current Opus frame may not be simple
drop-in replacements for the contents of the previous Opus frame.
</t>
<t>
For example, when switching from 20 ms to 60 ms, the 60 ms Opus
frame may contain LBRR frames covering up to three prior 20 ms Opus
frames, even if those frames already contained LBRR frames covering some of
the same time periods.
When switching from 20 ms to 10 ms, the 10 ms Opus frame can
contain an LBRR frame covering at most half the prior 20 ms Opus frame,
potentially leaving a hole that needs to be concealed from even a single
packet loss (see <xref target="Packet Loss Concealment"/>).
When switching from mono to stereo, the LBRR frames in the first stereo Opus
frame MAY contain a non-trivial side channel.
</t>
<t>
In order to properly produce LBRR frames under all conditions, an encoder might
need to buffer up to 60 ms of audio and re-encode it during these
transitions.
However, the reference implementation opts to disable LBRR frames at the
transition point for simplicity.
Since transitions are relatively infrequent in normal usage, this does not have
a significant impact on packet loss robustness.
</t>
<t>
The LBRR frames immediately follow the LBRR flags, prior to any regular SILK
frames.
<xref target="silk_frame"/> describes their exact contents.
LBRR frames do not include their own separate VAD flags.
LBRR frames are only meant to be transmitted for active speech, thus all LBRR
frames are treated as active.
</t>
<t>
In a stereo Opus frame longer than 20 ms, although the per-frame LBRR
flags for the mid channel are coded as a unit before the per-frame LBRR flags
for the side channel, the LBRR frames themselves are interleaved.
The decoder parses an LBRR frame for the mid channel of a given 20 ms
interval (if present) and then immediately parses the corresponding LBRR
frame for the side channel (if present), before proceeding to the next
20 ms interval.

The regular SILK frame(s) follow the LBRR frames (if any).

Unlike the LBRR frames, a regular SILK frame is coded for each time interval in
an Opus frame, even if the corresponding VAD flags are unset.
For stereo Opus frames longer than 20 ms, the regular mid and side SILK
frames for each 20 ms interval are interleaved, just as with the LBRR
frames.

title="Stereo Prediction Weights">
<t>
A SILK frame corresponding to the mid channel of a stereo Opus frame begins
with a pair of side channel prediction weights, designed such that zeros
indicate normal mid-side coupling.
Since these weights can change on every frame, the first portion of each frame
linearly interpolates between the previous weights and the current ones, using
zeros for the previous weights if none are available.
These prediction weights are never included in a mono Opus frame, and the
previous weights are reset to zeros on any transition from mono to stereo.
They are also not included in an LBRR frame for the side channel, even if the
LBRR flags indicate the corresponding mid channel was not coded.
In that case, the previous weights are used, again substituting in zeros if no
previous weights are available since the last decoder reset
(see <xref target="decoder-reset"/>).
</t>
<t>
To summarize, these weights are coded if and only if
<list style="symbols">
<t>This is a stereo Opus frame (<xref target="toc_byte"/>), and</t>

</list>
</t>
<t>
The prediction weights are coded in three separate pieces, which are decoded
by silk_stereo_decode_pred() (stereo_decode_pred.c).
The first piece jointly codes the high-order part of a table index for both
weights.
The second piece codes the low-order part of each table index.
The third piece codes an offset used to linearly interpolate between table
indices.
The details are as follows.

The range of these indices is 0 to 14, inclusive.
Let w_Q13[i] be the i'th weight from <xref target="silk_stereo_weights_table"/>.
Then the two prediction weights, w0_Q13 and w1_Q13, are

N.b., w1_Q13 is computed first here, because w0_Q13 depends on it.
The constant 6554 is approximately 0.1 in Q16.
Although wi0 and wi1 only have 15 possible values,

<section anchor="silk_mid_only_flag" toc="include" title="Mid-only Flag">

A flag appears after the stereo prediction weights that indicates if only the

It appears only when

</list>
It is omitted when there are no stereo weights, for all of the same reasons.
It is also omitted for a regular SILK frame when the VAD flag of the
corresponding side channel frame is set (indicating it is active).
The side channel must be coded in this case, making the mid-only flag
redundant.
It is also omitted for an LBRR frame when the corresponding LBRR flags
indicate the side channel is coded.
</t>
<t>
When the flag is present, the decoder reads a single value using the PDF in
<xref target="silk_mid_only_pdf"/>, as implemented in
silk_stereo_decode_mid_only() (stereo_decode_pred.c).
If the flag is set, then there is no corresponding SILK frame for the side
channel, the entire decoding process for the side channel is skipped, and
zeros are fed to the stereo unmixing process (see
<xref target="silk_stereo_unmixing"/>) instead.
As stated above, LBRR frames still include this flag when the LBRR flag
indicates that the side channel is not coded.
In that case, if this flag is zero (indicating that there should be a side
channel), then Packet Loss Concealment (PLC, see
<xref target="Packet Loss Concealment"/>) SHOULD be invoked to recover a
side channel signal.
Otherwise, the stereo image will collapse.

<section anchor="silk_gains" toc="include" title="Subframe Gains">
<t>
A separate quantization gain is coded for each 5 ms subframe.
These gains control the step size between quantization levels of the excitation
signal and, therefore, the quality of the reconstruction.
They are independent of and unrelated to the pitch contours coded for voiced
frames.
The quantization gains are themselves uniformly quantized to 6 bits on a
log scale, giving them a resolution of approximately 1.369 dB and a range
of approximately 1.94 dB to 88.21 dB.
</t>
<t>
The subframe gains are either coded independently, or relative to the gain from
the most recent coded subframe in the same channel.
Independent coding is used if and only if
<list style="symbols">
<t>
This is the first subframe in the current SILK frame, and
</t>
<t>Either
<list style="symbols">
<t>
This is the first SILK frame of its type (LBRR or regular) for this channel in

the same Opus frame was not coded.
</t>
</list>

In an independently coded subframe gain, the 3 most significant bits of the
quantization gain are decoded using a PDF selected from

</texttable>
<t>
These 6 bits are combined to form a value, gain_index, between 0 and 63.
When the gain for the previous subframe is available, then the current gain is
limited as follows:
<figure align="center">
<artwork align="center"><![CDATA[
log_gain = max(gain_index, previous_log_gain - 16) .
]]></artwork>
</figure>
This may help some implementations limit the change in precision of their
internal LTP history.
The indices which this clamp applies to cannot simply be removed from the
codebook, because previous_log_gain will not be available after packet loss.
The clamping is skipped after a decoder reset, and in the side channel if the
previous frame in the side channel was not coded, since there is no value for
previous_log_gain available.
It MAY also be skipped after packet loss.
</t>
<t>
For subframes which do not have an independent gain (including the first
subframe of frames not listed as using independent coding above), the
quantization gain is coded relative to the gain from the previous subframe (in
the same channel).
The PDF in <xref target="silk_delta_gain_pdf"/> yields a delta_gain_index value
between 0 and 40, inclusive.

The following formula translates this index into a quantization gain for the
current subframe using the gain from the previous subframe:
<figure align="center">

log_gain = clamp(0, max(2*delta_gain_index - 16,
previous_log_gain + delta_gain_index - 4), 63) .

</figure>
</t>
<t>
silk_gains_dequant() (gain_quant.c) dequantizes log_gain for the k'th subframe
and converts it into a linear Q16 scale factor via
<figure align="center">
<artwork align="center"><![CDATA[
gain_Q16[k] = silk_log2lin((0x1D1C71*log_gain>>16) + 2090)
]]></artwork>
</figure>
</t>
<t>
The function silk_log2lin() (log2lin.c) computes an approximation of
2**(inLog_Q7/128.0), where inLog_Q7 is its Q7 input.
Let i = inLog_Q7>>7 be the integer part of inLogQ7 and
f = inLog_Q7&127 be the fractional part.
Then
<figure align="center">
<artwork align="center"><![CDATA[
(1<<i) + ((-174*f*(128-f)>>16)+f)*((1<<i)>>7)
]]></artwork>
</figure>
yields the approximate exponential.
The final Q16 gain values lies between 81920 and 1686110208, inclusive
(representing scale factors of 1.25 to 25728, respectively).
</t>
</section>
<section anchor="silk_nlsfs" toc="include" title="Normalized Line Spectral
Frequency (LSF) and Linear Predictive Coding (LPC) Coefficients">
<t>
A set of normalized Line Spectral Frequency (LSF) coefficients follow the
quantization gains in the bitstream, and represent the Linear Predictive
Coding (LPC) coefficients for the current SILK frame.
Once decoded, the normalized LSFs form an increasing list of Q15 values between
0 and 1.
These represent the interleaved zeros on the upper half of the unit circle
(between 0 and pi, hence "normalized") in the standard decomposition
<xref target="line-spectral-pairs"/> of the LPC filter into a symmetric part
and an anti-symmetric part (P and Q in <xref target="silk_nlsf2lpc"/>).
Because of non-linear effects in the decoding process, an implementation SHOULD
match the fixed-point arithmetic described in this section exactly.
An encoder SHOULD also use the same process.
</t>
<t>
The normalized LSFs are coded using a two-stage vector quantizer (VQ)
(<xref target="silk_nlsf_stage1"/> and <xref target="silk_nlsf_stage2"/>).
NB and MB frames use an order-10 predictor, while WB frames use an order-16
predictor, and thus have different sets of tables.
After reconstructing the normalized LSFs
(<xref target="silk_nlsf_reconstruction"/>), the decoder runs them through a
stabilization process (<xref target="silk_nlsf_stabilization"/>), interpolates
them between frames (<xref target="silk_nlsf_interpolation"/>), converts them
back into LPC coefficients (<xref target="silk_nlsf2lpc"/>), and then runs
them through further processes to limit the range of the coefficients
(<xref target="silk_lpc_range_limit"/>) and the gain of the filter
(<xref target="silk_lpc_gain_limit"/>).
All of this is necessary to ensure the reconstruction process is stable.
</t>
<section anchor="silk_nlsf_stage1" title="Normalized LSF Stage 1 Decoding">
<t>
The first VQ stage uses a 32-element codebook, coded with one of the PDFs in
<xref target="silk_nlsf_stage1_pdfs"/>, depending on the audio bandwidth and
the signal type of the current SILK frame.
This yields a single index, I1, for the entire frame, which
<list style="numbers">

<t>Selects the PDFs for the second stage of the VQ, and</t>

Decoding the second stage residual proceeds as follows.
For each coefficient, the decoder reads a symbol using the PDF corresponding to
I1 from either <xref target="silk_nlsf_nbmb_stage2_cb_sel"/> or
<xref target="silk_nlsf_wb_stage2_cb_sel"/>, and subtracts 4 from the result
to give an index in the range -4 to 4, inclusive.
If the index is either -4 or 4, it reads a second symbol using the PDF in
<xref target="silk_nlsf_ext_pdf"/>, and adds the value of this second symbol
to the index, using the same sign.
This gives the index, I2[k], a total range of -10 to 10, inclusive.

The decoded indices from both stages are translated back into normalized LSF
coefficients in silk_NLSF_decode() (NLSF_decode.c).
The stage-2 indices represent residuals after both the first stage of the VQ
and a separate backwards-prediction step.
The backwards prediction process in the encoder subtracts a prediction from
each residual formed by a multiple of the coefficient that follows it.
The decoder must undo this process.
<xref target="silk_nlsf_pred_weights"/> contains lists of prediction weights
for each coefficient.
There are two lists for NB and MB, and another two lists for WB, giving two
possible prediction weights for each coefficient.

The prediction is undone using the procedure implemented in
silk_NLSF_residual_dequant() (NLSF_decode.c), which is as follows.
Each coefficient selects its prediction weight from one of the two lists based
on the stage-1 index, I1.
<xref target="silk_nlsf_nbmb_weight_sel"/> gives the selections for each
coefficient for NB and MB, and <xref target="silk_nlsf_wb_weight_sel"/> gives
the selections for WB.
Let d_LPC be the order of the codebook, i.e., 10 for NB and MB, and 16 for WB,
and let pred_Q8[k] be the weight for the k'th coefficient selected by this
process for 0 <= k < d_LPC-1.
Then, the stage-2 residual for each coefficient is computed via
<figure align="center">
<artwork align="center"><![CDATA[
res_Q10[k] = (k+1 < d_LPC ? (res_Q10[k+1]*pred_Q8[k])>>8 : 0)
+ ((((I2[k]<<10) - sign(I2[k])*102)*qstep)>>16) ,
]]></artwork>
</figure>
where qstep is the Q16 quantization step size, which is 11796 for NB and MB
and 9830 for WB (representing step sizes of approximately 0.18 and 0.15,
respectively).

<section anchor="silk_nlsf_reconstruction"
title="Reconstructing the Normalized LSF Coefficients">
<t>
Once the stage-1 index I1 and the stage-2 residual res_Q10[] have been decoded,
the final normalized LSF coefficients can be reconstructed.
</t>
<t>
The spectral distortion introduced by the quantization of each LSF coefficient
varies, so the stage-2 residual is weighted accordingly, using the
low-complexity Inverse Harmonic Mean Weighting (IHMW) function proposed in
<xref target="laroia-icassp"/>.
The weights are derived directly from the stage-1 codebook vector.
Let cb1_Q8[k] be the k'th entry of the stage-1 codebook vector from
<xref target="silk_nlsf_nbmb_codebook"/> or
<xref target="silk_nlsf_wb_codebook"/>.
Then for 0 <= k < d_LPC the following expression
computes the square of the weight as a Q18 value:
<figure align="center">
<artwork align="center">
<![CDATA[
w2_Q18[k] = (1024/(cb1_Q8[k] - cb1_Q8[k-1])
+ 1024/(cb1_Q8[k+1] - cb1_Q8[k])) << 16 ,
]]>
</artwork>
</figure>
where cb1_Q8[-1] = 0 and cb1_Q8[d_LPC] = 256, and the
division is integer division.
This is reduced to an unsquared, Q9 value using the following square-root
approximation:
<figure align="center">
<artwork align="center"><![CDATA[
i = ilog(w2_Q18[k])
f = (w2_Q18[k]>>(i-8)) & 127
y = ((i&1) ? 32768 : 46214) >> ((32-i)>>1)
w_Q9[k] = y + ((213*f*y)>>16)
]]></artwork>
</figure>
The constant 46214 here is approximately the square root of 2 in Q15.
The cb1_Q8[] vector completely determines these weights, and they may be
tabulated and stored as 13-bit unsigned values (with a range of 1819 to 5227,
inclusive) to avoid computing them when decoding.
The reference implementation already requires code to compute these weights on
unquantized coefficients in the encoder, in silk_NLSF_VQ_weights_laroia()
(NLSF_VQ_weights_laroia.c) and its callers, so it reuses that code in the
decoder instead of using a pre-computed table to reduce the amount of ROM
required.

Given the stage-1 codebook entry cb1_Q8[], the stage-2 residual res_Q10[], and

where the division is integer division.
However, nothing in either the reconstruction process or the
quantization process in the encoder thus far guarantees that the coefficients
are monotonically increasing and separated well enough to ensure a stable
filter <xref target="Kabal86"/>.
When using the reference encoder, roughly 2% of frames violate this constraint.
The next section describes a stabilization procedure used to make these
guarantees.
</t>
</section>
<section anchor="silk_nlsf_stabilization" title="Normalized LSF Stabilization">
<t>
The normalized LSF stabilization procedure is implemented in
silk_NLSF_stabilize() (NLSF_stabilize.c).
This process ensures that consecutive values of the normalized LSF
coefficients, NLSF_Q15[], are spaced some minimum distance apart
(predetermined to be the 0.01 percentile of a large training set).
<xref target="silk_nlsf_min_spacing"/> gives the minimum spacings for NB and MB
and those for WB, where row k is the minimum allowed value of
NLSF_Q[k]-NLSF_Q[k-1].
For the purposes of computing this spacing for the first and last coefficient,
NLSF_Q15[-1] is taken to be 0, and NLSF_Q15[d_LPC] is taken to be 32768.

The procedure starts off by trying to make small adjustments which attempt to
minimize the amount of distortion introduced.
After 20 such adjustments, it falls back to a more direct method which
guarantees the constraints are enforced but may require large adjustments.
</t>
<t>
Let NDeltaMin_Q15[k] be the minimum required spacing for the current audio
bandwidth from <xref target="silk_nlsf_min_spacing"/>.
First, the procedure finds the index i where
NLSF_Q15[i] - NLSF_Q15[i-1] - NDeltaMin_Q15[i] is the
smallest, breaking ties by using the lower value of i.
If this value is non-negative, then the stabilization stops; the coefficients
satisfy all the constraints.
Otherwise, if i == 0, it sets NLSF_Q15[0] to NDeltaMin_Q15[0], and if
i == d_LPC, it sets NLSF_Q15[d_LPC-1] to
(32768 - NDeltaMin_Q15[d_LPC]).
For all other values of i, both NLSF_Q15[i-1] and NLSF_Q15[i] are updated as
follows:
<figure align="center">
<artwork align="center"><![CDATA[

center_freq_Q15 = clamp(min_center_Q15[i],

NLSF_Q15[i-1] = center_freq_Q15 - (NDeltaMin_Q15[i]>>1)
NLSF_Q15[i] = NLSF_Q15[i-1] + NDeltaMin_Q15[i] .
]]></artwork>
</figure>
Then the procedure repeats again, until it has either executed 20 times or
has stopped because the coefficients satisfy all the constraints.
</t>
<t>
After the 20th repetition of the above procedure, the following fallback
procedure executes once.
First, the values of NLSF_Q15[k] for 0 <= k < d_LPC
are sorted in ascending order.
Then for each value of k from 0 to d_LPC-1, NLSF_Q15[k] is set to
<figure align="center">
<artwork align="center"><![CDATA[
max(NLSF_Q15[k], NLSF_Q15[k-1] + NDeltaMin_Q15[k]) .

<t>
For 20 ms SILK frames, the first half of the frame (i.e., the first two
subframes) may use normalized LSF coefficients that are interpolated between
the decoded LSFs for the most recent coded frame (in the same channel) and the
current frame.
A Q2 interpolation factor follows the LSF coefficient indices in the bitstream,
which is decoded using the PDF in <xref target="silk_nlsf_interp_pdf"/>.
This happens in silk_decode_indices() (decode_indices.c).
After either
<list style="symbols">
<t>An uncoded regular SILK frame in the side channel, or</t>
<t>A decoder reset (see <xref target="decoder-reset"/>),</t>
</list>
the decoder still decodes this factor, but ignores its value and always uses
4 instead.
For 10 ms SILK frames, this factor is not stored at all.

Let n2_Q15[k] be the normalized LSF coefficients decoded by the procedure in
<xref target="silk_nlsfs"/>, n0_Q15[k] be the LSF coefficients
decoded for the prior frame, and w_Q2 be the interpolation factor.
Then the normalized LSF coefficients used for the first half of a 20 ms

Any LPC filter A(z) can be split into a symmetric part P(z) and an

</figure>
The even normalized LSF coefficients correspond to a pair of conjugate roots of
P(z), while the odd coefficients correspond to a pair of conjugate roots of
Q(z), all of which lie on the unit circle.
In addition, P(z) has a root at pi and Q(z) has a root at 0.
Thus, they may be reconstructed mathematically from a set of normalized LSF
coefficients, n[k], as
<figure align="center">
<artwork align="center"><![CDATA[

<t>
However, SILK performs this reconstruction using a fixed-point approximation so
that all decoders can reproduce it in a bit-exact manner to avoid prediction
drift.
The function silk_NLSF2A() (NLSF2A.c) implements this procedure.
</t>
<t>
To start, it approximates cos(pi*n[k]) using a table lookup with linear
interpolation.
The encoder SHOULD use the inverse of this piecewise linear approximation,
rather than the true inverse of the cosine function, when deriving the
normalized LSF coefficients.
These values are also re-ordered to improve numerical accuracy when
constructing the LPC polynomials.

Given the list of cosine values, silk_NLSF2A_find_poly() (NLSF2A.c)
computes the coefficients of P and Q, described here via a simple recurrence.
Let p_Q16[k][j] and q_Q16[k][j] be the coefficients of the products of the
first (k+1) root pairs for P and Q, with j indexing the coefficient number.
Only the first (k+2) coefficients are needed, as the products are symmetric.
Let p_Q16[0][0] = q_Q16[0][0] = 1<<16,
p_Q16[0][1] = -c_Q17[0], q_Q16[0][1] = -c_Q17[1], and
d2 = d_LPC/2.
As boundary conditions, assume
p_Q16[k][j] = q_Q16[k][j] = 0 for all
j < 0.
Also, assume p_Q16[k][k+2] = p_Q16[k][k] and
q_Q16[k][k+2] = q_Q16[k][k] (because of the symmetry).
Then, for 0 < k < d2 and 0 <= j <= k+1,
<figure align="center">
<artwork align="center"><![CDATA[
p_Q16[k][j] = p_Q16[k-1][j] + p_Q16[k-1][j-2]

q_Q16[k][j] = q_Q16[k-1][j] + q_Q16[k-1][j-2]
- ((c_Q17[2*k+1]*q_Q16[k-1][j-1] + 32768)>>16) .
]]></artwork>
</figure>
The use of Q17 values for the cosine terms in an otherwise Q16 expression
implicitly scales them by a factor of 2.
The multiplications in this recurrence may require up to 48 bits of precision
in the result to avoid overflow.
In practice, each row of the recurrence only depends on the previous row, so an
implementation does not need to store all of them.
</t>
<t>
silk_NLSF2A() uses the values from the last row of this recurrence to
reconstruct a 32-bit version of the LPC filter (without the leading 1.0
coefficient), a32_Q17[k], 0 <= k < d2:
<figure align="center">
<artwork align="center"><![CDATA[
a32_Q17[k] = -(q_Q16[d2-1][k+1] - q_Q16[d2-1][k])
- (p_Q16[d2-1][k+1] + p_Q16[d2-1][k])) ,
a32_Q17[d_LPC-k-1] = (q_Q16[d2-1][k+1] - q_Q16[d2-1][k])
- (p_Q16[d2-1][k+1] + p_Q16[d2-1][k])) .
]]></artwork>
</figure>
The sum and difference of two terms from each of the p_Q16 and q_Q16
coefficient lists reflect the (1 + z**-1) and
(1 - z**-1) factors of P and Q, respectively.
The promotion of the expression from Q16 to Q17 implicitly scales the result
by 1/2.
</t>
</section>
<section anchor="silk_lpc_range_limit"
title="Limiting the Range of the LPC Coefficients">
<t>
The a32_Q17[] coefficients are too large to fit in a 16-bit value, which
significantly increases the cost of applying this filter in fixed-point
decoders.
Reducing them to Q12 precision doesn't incur any significant quality loss,
but still does not guarantee they will fit.
silk_NLSF2A() applies up to 10 rounds of bandwidth expansion to limit
the dynamic range of these coefficients.
Even floating-point decoders SHOULD perform these steps, to avoid mismatch.
</t>
<t>
For each round, the process first finds the index k such that abs(a32_Q17[k])
is largest, breaking ties by choosing the lowest value of k.
Then, it computes the corresponding Q12 precision value, maxabs_Q12, subject to
an upper bound to avoid overflow in subsequent computations:
<figure align="center">
<artwork align="center"><![CDATA[
maxabs_Q12 = min((maxabs_Q17 + 16) >> 5, 163838) .
]]></artwork>
</figure>
If this is larger than 32767, the procedure derives the chirp factor,
sc_Q16[0], to use in the bandwidth expansion as
<figure align="center">
<artwork align="center"><![CDATA[
(maxabs_Q12 - 32767) << 14
sc_Q16[0] = 65470 - -------------------------- ,
(maxabs_Q12 * (k+1)) >> 2
]]></artwork>
</figure>
where the division here is integer division.
This is an approximation of the chirp factor needed to reduce the target
coefficient to 32767, though it is both less than 0.999 and, for
k > 0 when maxabs_Q12 is much greater than 32767, still slightly
too large.
The upper bound on maxabs_Q12, 163838, was chosen because it is equal to
((2**31 - 1) >> 14) + 32767, i.e., the
largest value of maxabs_Q12 that would not overflow the numerator in the
equation above when stored in a signed 32-bit integer.
</t>
<t>
silk_bwexpander_32() (bwexpander_32.c) performs the bandwidth expansion (again,
only when maxabs_Q12 is greater than 32767) using the following recurrence:
<figure align="center">
<artwork align="center"><![CDATA[
a32_Q17[k] = (a32_Q17[k]*sc_Q16[k]) >> 16
sc_Q16[k+1] = (sc_Q16[0]*sc_Q16[k] + 32768) >> 16
]]></artwork>
</figure>
The first multiply may require up to 48 bits of precision in the result to
avoid overflow.
The second multiply must be unsigned to avoid overflow with only 32 bits of
precision.
The reference implementation uses a slightly more complex formulation that
avoids the 32-bit overflow using signed multiplication, but is otherwise
equivalent.
</t>
<t>
After 10 rounds of bandwidth expansion are performed, they are simply saturated
to 16 bits:
<figure align="center">
<artwork align="center"><![CDATA[
a32_Q17[k] = clamp(-32768, (a32_Q17[k] + 16) >> 5, 32767) << 5 .
]]></artwork>
</figure>
Because this performs the actual saturation in the Q12 domain, but converts the
coefficients back to the Q17 domain for the purposes of prediction gain
limiting, this step must be performed after the 10th round of bandwidth
expansion, regardless of whether or not the Q12 version of any coefficient
still overflows a 16-bit integer.
This saturation is not performed if maxabs_Q12 drops to 32767 or less prior to
the 10th round.
</t>
</section>
<section anchor="silk_lpc_gain_limit"
title="Limiting the Prediction Gain of the LPC Filter">
<t>
The prediction gain of an LPC synthesis filter is the square-root of the output
energy when the filter is excited by a unit-energy impulse.
Even if the Q12 coefficients would fit, the resulting filter may still have a
significant gain (especially for voiced sounds), making the filter unstable.
silk_NLSF2A() applies up to 18 additional rounds of bandwidth expansion to
limit the prediction gain.
Instead of controlling the amount of bandwidth expansion using the prediction
gain itself (which may diverge to infinity for an unstable filter),
silk_NLSF2A() uses silk_LPC_inverse_pred_gain_QA() (LPC_inv_pred_gain.c) to
compute the reflection coefficients associated with the filter.
The filter is stable if and only if the magnitude of these coefficients is
sufficiently less than one.
The reflection coefficients, rc[k], can be computed using a simple Levinson
recurrence, initialized with the LPC coefficients
a[d_LPC-1][n] = a[n], and then updated via
<figure align="center">
<artwork align="center"><![CDATA[
rc[k] = -a[k][k] ,
a[k][n] - a[k][k-n-1]*rc[k]
a[k-1][n] = --------------------------- .
2
1 - rc[k]
]]></artwork>
</figure>
</t>
<t>
However, silk_LPC_inverse_pred_gain_QA() approximates this using fixed-point
arithmetic to guarantee reproducible results across platforms and
implementations.
Since small changes in the coefficients can make a stable filter unstable, it
takes the real Q12 coefficients that will be used during reconstruction as
input.
Thus, let
<figure align="center">
<artwork align="center"><![CDATA[
a32_Q12[n] = (a32_Q17[n] + 16) >> 5
]]></artwork>
</figure>
be the Q12 version of the LPC coefficients that will eventually be used.
As a simple initial check, the decoder computes the DC response as
<figure align="center">
<artwork align="center"><![CDATA[
d_PLC-1
__
DC_resp = \ a32_Q12[n]
/_
n=0
]]></artwork>
</figure>
and if DC_resp > 4096, the filter is unstable.
</t>
<t>
Increasing the precision of these Q12 coefficients to Q24 for intermediate
computations allows more accurate computation of the reflection coefficients,
so the decoder initializes the recurrence via
<figure align="center">
<artwork align="center"><![CDATA[
a32_Q24[d_LPC-1][n] = a32_Q12[n] << 12 .
]]></artwork>
</figure>
Then for each k from d_LPC-1 down to 0, if
abs(a32_Q24[k][k]) > 16773022, the filter is unstable and the
recurrence stops.
The constant 16773022 here is approximately 0.99975 in Q24.
Otherwise, row k-1 of a32_Q24 is computed from row k as
<figure align="center">
<artwork align="center"><![CDATA[
rc_Q31[k] = -a32_Q24[k][k] << 7 ,
div_Q30[k] = (1<<30) - (rc_Q31[k]*rc_Q31[k] >> 32) ,
b1[k] = ilog(div_Q30[k]) ,
b2[k] = b1[k] - 16 ,
(1<<29) - 1
inv_Qb2[k] = ----------------------- ,
div_Q30[k] >> (b2[k]+1)
err_Q29[k] = (1<<29)

gain_Qb1[k] = ((inv_Qb2[k] << 16)

num_Q24[k-1][n] = a32_Q24[k][n]
- ((a32_Q24[k][k-n-1]*rc_Q31[k] + (1<<30)) >> 31) ,
a32_Q24[k-1][n] = (num_Q24[k-1][n]*gain_Qb1[k]
+ (1<<(b1[k]-1))) >> b1[k] ,
]]></artwork>
</figure>
where 0 <= n < k.
Here, rc_Q30[k] are the reflection coefficients.
div_Q30[k] is the denominator for each iteration, and gain_Qb1[k] is its
multiplicative inverse (with b1[k] fractional bits, where b1[k] ranges from
20 to 31).
inv_Qb2[k], which ranges from 16384 to 32767, is a low-precision version of
that inverse (with b2[k] fractional bits).
err_Q29[k] is the residual error, ranging from -32763 to 32392, which is used
to improve the accuracy.
The values t_Q24[k-1][n] for each n are the numerators for the next row of
coefficients in the recursion, and a32_Q24[k-1][n] is the final version of
that row.
Every multiply in this procedure except the one used to compute gain_Qb1[k]
requires more than 32 bits of precision, but otherwise all intermediate
results fit in 32 bits or less.
In practice, because each row only depends on the next one, an implementation
does not need to store them all.
</t>
<t>
If abs(a32_Q24[k][k]) <= 16773022 for
0 <= k < d_LPC, then the filter is considered stable.
However, the problem of determining stability is ill-conditioned when the
filter contains several reflection coefficients whose magnitude is very close
to one.
This fixed-point algorithm is not mathematically guaranteed to correctly
classify filters as stable or unstable in this case, though it does very well
in practice.
</t>
<t>
On round i, 1 <= i <= 18, if the filter passes these
stability checks, then this procedure stops, and the final LPC coefficients to
use for reconstruction in <xref target="silk_lpc_synthesis"/> are
<figure align="center">
<artwork align="center"><![CDATA[
a_Q12[k] = (a32_Q17[k] + 16) >> 5 .
]]></artwork>
</figure>
Otherwise, a round of bandwidth expansion is applied using the same procedure
as in <xref target="silk_lpc_range_limit"/>, with
<figure align="center">
<artwork align="center"><![CDATA[
sc_Q16[0] = 65536 - (2<<i) .
]]></artwork>
</figure>
During the 15th round, sc_Q16[0] becomes 0 in the above equation, so a_Q12[k]
is set to 0 for all k, guaranteeing a stable filter.

After the normalized LSF indices and, for 20 ms frames, the LSF
interpolation index, voiced frames (see <xref target="silk_frame_type"/>)
include additional LTP parameters.
There is one primary lag index for each SILK frame, but this is refined to
produce a separate lag index per subframe using a vector quantizer.
Each subframe also gets its own prediction gain coefficient.
</t>
<section anchor="silk_ltp_lags" title="Pitch Lags">
<t>
The primary lag index is coded either relative to the primary lag of the prior
frame in the same channel, or as an absolute index.
Absolute coding is used if and only if
<list style="symbols">

The previous SILK frame of the same type (LBRR or regular) for this channel in

<t>
That previous SILK frame was coded, but was not voiced (see

</t>
</list>

With absolute coding, the primary pitch lag may range from 2 ms
(inclusive) up to 18 ms (exclusive), corresponding to pitches from
500 Hz down to 55.6 Hz, respectively.
It is comprised of a high part and a low part, where the decoder reads the high

All frames that do not use absolute coding for the primary lag index use
relative coding instead.
The decoder reads a single delta value using the 21-entry PDF in
<xref target="silk_rel_pitch_pdf"/>.
If the resulting value is zero, it falls back to the absolute coding procedure
from the prior paragraph.
Otherwise, the final primary pitch lag is then
<figure align="center">
<artwork align="center"><![CDATA[
lag = previous_lag + (delta_lag_index - 9)
]]></artwork>
</figure>
where previous_lag is the primary pitch lag from the most recent frame in the
same channel and delta_lag_index is the value just decoded.
This allows a per-frame change in the pitch lag of -8 to +11 samples.
The decoder does no clamping at this point, so this value can fall outside the
range of 2 ms to 18 ms, and the decoder must use this unclamped
value when using relative coding in the next SILK frame (if any).
However, because an Opus frame can use relative coding for at most two
consecutive SILK frames, integer overflow should not be an issue.

The final pitch lag for each subframe is assembled in silk_decode_pitch()
(decode_pitch.c).
Let lag be the primary pitch lag for the current SILK frame, contour_index be
index of the VQ codebook, and lag_cb[contour_index][k] be the corresponding
entry of the codebook from the appropriate table given above for the k'th
subframe.
Then the final pitch lag for that subframe is
<figure align="center">
<artwork align="center"><![CDATA[
pitch_lags[k] = clamp(lag_min, lag + lag_cb[contour_index][k],
lag_max)

where lag_min and lag_max are the values from the "Minimum Lag" and
"Maximum Lag" columns of <xref target="silk_abs_pitch_low_pdf"/>,
respectively.

<section anchor="silk_ltp_filter" title="LTP Filter Coefficients">

SILK uses a separate 5-tap pitch filter for each subframe, selected from one
of three codebooks.
The three codebooks each represent different rate-distortion trade-offs, with
average rates of 1.61 bits/subframe, 3.68 bits/subframe, and
4.85 bits/subframe, respectively.
</t>
<t>
The importance of the filter coefficients generally depends on two factors: the
periodicity of the signal and relative energy between the current subframe and
the signal from one period earlier.
Greater periodicity and decaying energy both lead to more important filter
coefficients, and thus should be coded with lower distortion and higher rate.
These properties are relatively stable over the duration of a single SILK
frame, hence all of the subframes in a SILK frame choose their filter from the
same codebook.
This is signaled with an explicitly-coded "periodicity index".
This immediately follows the subframe pitch lags, and is coded using the
3-entry PDF from <xref target="silk_perindex_pdf"/>.

<section anchor="silk_ltp_scaling" title="LTP Scaling Parameter">
<t>
An LTP scaling parameter appears after the LTP filter coefficients if and only
if
<list style="symbols">
<t>This is a voiced frame (see <xref target="silk_frame_type"/>), and</t>
<t>Either
<list style="symbols">
<t>
This SILK frame corresponds to the first time interval of the
current Opus frame for its type (LBRR or regular), or
</t>
<t>
This is an LBRR frame where the LBRR flags (see
<xref target="silk_lbrr_flags"/>) indicate the previous LBRR frame in the same
channel is not coded.
</t>
</list>
</t>
</list>
This allows the encoder to trade off the prediction gain between
packets against the recovery time after packet loss.
Unlike absolute-coding for pitch lags, regular SILK frames that are not at the
start of an Opus frame (i.e., that do not correspond to the first 20 ms
time interval in Opus frames of 40 or 60 ms) do not include this
field, even if the prior frame was not voiced, or (in the case of the side
channel) not even coded.
After an uncoded frame in the side channel, the LTP buffer (see
<xref target="silk_ltp_synthesis"/>) is cleared to zero, and is thus in a
known state.
In contrast, LBRR frames do include this field when the prior frame was not
coded, since the LTP buffer contains the output of the PLC, which is
non-normative.
</t>
<t>
If present, the decoder reads a value using the 3-entry PDF in
<xref target="silk_ltp_scaling_pdf"/>.
The three possible values represent Q14 scale factors of 15565, 12288, and
8192, respectively (corresponding to approximately 0.95, 0.75, and 0.5).
Frames that do not code the scaling parameter use the default factor of 15565
(approximately 0.95).

<section anchor="silk_seed" toc="include"
title="Linear Congruential Generator (LCG) Seed">
<t>
As described in <xref target="silk_excitation_reconstruction"/>, SILK uses a
linear congruential generator (LCG) to inject pseudorandom noise into the
quantized excitation.
To ensure synchronization of this process between the encoder and decoder, each
SILK frame stores a 2-bit seed after the LTP parameters (if any).
The encoder may consider the choice of seed during quantization, and the
flexibility of this choice lets it reduce distortion, helping to pay for the
bit cost required to signal it.
The decoder reads the seed using the uniform 4-entry PDF in
<xref target="silk_seed_pdf"/>, yielding a value between 0 and 3, inclusive.

<section anchor="silk_excitation" toc="include" title="Excitation">
<t>
SILK codes the excitation using a modified version of the Pyramid Vector
Quantization (PVQ) codebook <xref target="PVQ"/>.
The PVQ codebook is designed for Laplace-distributed values and consists of all
sums of K signed, unit pulses in a vector of dimension N, where two pulses at
the same position are required to have the same sign.
Thus the codebook includes all integer codevectors y of dimension N that
satisfy
<figure align="center">
<artwork align="center"><![CDATA[
N-1
__
\ abs(y[j]) = K .
/_
j=0
]]></artwork>
</figure>
Unlike regular PVQ, SILK uses a variable-length, rather than fixed-length,
encoding.
This encoding is better suited to the more Gaussian-like distribution of the
coefficient magnitudes and the non-uniform distribution of their signs (caused
by the quantization offset described below).
SILK also handles large codebooks by coding the least significant bits (LSBs)
of each coefficient directly.
This adds a small coding efficiency loss, but greatly reduces the computation
time and ROM size required for decoding, as implemented in
silk_decode_pulses() (decode_pulses.c).
</t>
<t>
SILK fixes the dimension of the codebook to N = 16.
The excitation is made up of a number of "shell blocks", each 16 samples in
size.
<xref target="silk_shell_block_table"/> lists the number of shell blocks
required for a SILK frame for each possible audio bandwidth and frame size.
10 ms MB frames nominally contain 120 samples (10 ms at
12 kHz), which is not a multiple of 16.
This is handled by coding 8 shell blocks (128 samples) and discarding the final
8 samples of the last block.
The decoder contains no special case that prevents an encoder from placing
pulses in these samples, and they must be correctly parsed from the bitstream
if present, but they are otherwise ignored.

The first symbol in the excitation is a "rate level", which is an index from 0
to 8, inclusive, coded using the PDF in <xref target="silk_rate_level_pdfs"/>
corresponding to the signal type of the current frame (from
<xref target="silk_frame_type"/>).
The rate level selects the PDF used to decode the number of pulses in
the individual shell blocks.
It does not directly convey any information about the bitrate or the number of
pulses itself, but merely changes the probability of the symbols in
<xref target="silk_pulse_counts"/>.
Level 0 provides a more efficient encoding at low rates generally, and
level 8 provides a more efficient encoding at high rates generally,
though the most efficient level for a particular SILK frame may depend on the
exact distribution of the coded symbols.
An encoder should, but is not required to, use the most efficient rate level.

<section anchor="silk_pulse_counts" title="Pulses Per Shell Block">
<t>
The total number of pulses in each of the shell blocks follows the rate level.
The pulse counts for all of the shell blocks are coded consecutively, before
the content of any of the blocks.
Each block may have anywhere from 0 to 16 pulses, inclusive, coded using the
18-entry PDF in <xref target="silk_pulse_count_pdfs"/> corresponding to the
rate level from <xref target="silk_rate_level"/>.
The special value 17 indicates that this block has one or more additional
LSBs to decode for each coefficient.
If the decoder encounters this value, it decodes another value for the actual
pulse count of the block, but uses the PDF corresponding to the special rate
level 9 instead of the normal rate level.
This process repeats until the decoder reads a value less than 17, and it then
sets the number of extra LSBs used to the number of 17's decoded for that
block.
If it reads the value 17 ten times, then the next iteration uses the special
rate level 10 instead of 9.
The probability of decoding a 17 when using the PDF for rate level 10 is
zero, ensuring that the number of LSBs for a block will not exceed 10.
The cumulative distribution for rate level 10 is just a shifted version of
that for 9 and thus does not require any additional storage.

<section anchor="silk_pulse_locations" title="Pulse Location Decoding">
<t>
The locations of the pulses in each shell block follow the pulse counts,
as decoded by silk_shell_decoder() (shell_coder.c).
As with the pulse counts, these locations are coded for all the shell blocks
before any of the remaining information for each block.
Unlike many other codecs, SILK places no restriction on the distribution of
pulses within a shell block.
All of the pulses may be placed in a single location, or each one in a unique
location, or anything in between.
</t>
<t>
The location of pulses is coded by recursively partitioning each block into
halves, and coding how many pulses fall on the left side of the split.
All remaining pulses must fall on the right side of the split.
The process then recurses into the left half, and after that returns, the
right half (preorder traversal).
The PDF to use is chosen by the size of the current partition (16, 8, 4, or 2)
and the number of pulses in the partition (1 to 16, inclusive).
Tables <xref format="counter" target="silk_shell_code3_pdfs"/>
through <xref format="counter" target="silk_shell_code0_pdfs"/> list the
PDFs used for each partition size and pulse count.
This process skips partitions without any pulses, i.e., where the initial pulse
count from <xref target="silk_pulse_counts"/> was zero, or where the split in
the prior level indicated that all of the pulses fell on the other side.
These partitions have nothing to code, so they require no PDF.

<section anchor="silk_shell_lsb" title="LSB Decoding">
<t>
After the decoder reads the pulse locations for all blocks, it reads the LSBs
(if any) for each block in turn.
Inside each block, it reads all the LSBs for each coefficient in turn, even
those where no pulses were allocated, before proceeding to the next one.
For 10 ms MB frames, it reads LSBs even for the extra 8 samples in
the last block.
The LSBs are coded from most significant to least significant, and they all use
the PDF in <xref target="silk_shell_lsb_pdf"/>.

<c>{136, 120}/256</c>
</texttable>
<t>
The number of LSBs read for each coefficient in a block is determined in
<xref target="silk_pulse_counts"/>.
The magnitude of the coefficient is initially equal to the number of pulses
placed at that location in <xref target="silk_pulse_locations"/>.
As each LSB is decoded, the magnitude is doubled, and then the value of the LSB
added to it, to obtain an updated magnitude.
</t>
</section>
<section anchor="silk_signs" title="Sign Decoding">
<t>
After decoding the pulse locations and the LSBs, the decoder knows the
magnitude of each coefficient in the excitation.
It then decodes a sign for all coefficients with a non-zero magnitude, using
one of the PDFs from <xref target="silk_sign_pdfs"/>.
If the value decoded is 0, then the coefficient magnitude is negated.
Otherwise, it remains positive.
</t>
<t>
The decoder chooses the PDF for the sign based on the signal type and
quantization offset type (from <xref target="silk_frame_type"/>) and the
number of pulses in the block (from <xref target="silk_pulse_counts"/>).
The number of pulses in the block does not take into account any LSBs.
Most PDFs are skewed towards negative signs because of the quantization offset,
but the PDFs for zero pulses are highly skewed towards positive signs.
If a block contains many positive coefficients, it is sometimes beneficial to
code it solely using LSBs (i.e., with zero pulses), since the encoder may be
able to save enough bits on the signs to justify the less efficient
coefficient magnitude encoding.

After the signs have been read, there is enough information to reconstruct the
complete excitation signal.
This requires adding a constant quantization offset to each non-zero sample,
and then pseudorandomly inverting and offsetting every sample.
The constant quantization offset varies depending on the signal type and
quantization offset type (see <xref target="silk_frame_type"/>).

Let e_raw[i] be the raw excitation value at position i, with a magnitude
composed of the pulses at that location (see
<xref target="silk_pulse_locations"/>) combined with any additional LSBs (see
<xref target="silk_shell_lsb"/>), and with the corresponding sign decoded in
<xref target="silk_signs"/>.
Additionally, let seed be the current pseudorandom seed, which is initialized
to the value decoded from <xref target="silk_seed"/> for the first sample in
the current SILK frame, and updated for each subsequent sample according to
the procedure below.
Finally, let offset_Q23 be the quantization offset from
<xref target="silk_quantization_offsets"/>.
Then the following procedure produces the final reconstructed excitation value,
e_Q23[i]:
<figure align="center">
<artwork align="center"><![CDATA[
e_Q23[i] = (e_raw[i] << 8) - sign(e_raw[i])*20 + offset_Q23;
seed = (196314165*seed + 907633515) & 0xFFFFFFFF;
e_Q23[i] = (seed & 0x80000000) ? -e_Q23[i] : e_Q23[i];
seed = (seed + e_raw[i]) & 0xFFFFFFFF;
]]></artwork>
</figure>
When e_raw[i] is zero, sign() returns 0 by the definition in
<xref target="sign"/>, so the factor of 20 does not get added.
The final e_Q23[i] value may require more than 16 bits per sample, but will not
require more than 23, including the sign.

</section>
</section>
<section anchor="silk_frame_reconstruction" toc="include"
title="SILK Frame Reconstruction">
<t>
The remainder of the reconstruction process for the frame does not need to be
bit-exact, as small errors should only introduce proportionally small
distortions.
Although the reference implementation only includes a fixed-point version of
the remaining steps, this section describes them in terms of a floating-point
version for simplicity.
This produces a signal with a nominal range of -1.0 to 1.0.
</t>
<t>
silk_decode_core() (decode_core.c) contains the code for the main
reconstruction process.
It proceeds subframe-by-subframe, since quantization gains, LTP parameters, and
(in 20 ms SILK frames) LPC coefficients can vary from one to the
next.
</t>
<t>
Let a_Q12[k] be the LPC coefficients for the current subframe.
If this is the first or second subframe of a 20 ms SILK frame and the LSF
interpolation factor, w_Q2 (see <xref target="silk_nlsf_interpolation"/>), is
less than 4, then these correspond to the final LPC coefficients produced by
<xref target="silk_lpc_gain_limit"/> from the interpolated LSF coefficients,
n1_Q15[k] (computed in <xref target="silk_nlsf_interpolation"/>).
Otherwise, they correspond to the final LPC coefficients produced from the
uninterpolated LSF coefficients for the current frame, n2_Q15[k].
</t>
<t>
Also, let n be the number of samples in a subframe (40 for NB, 60 for MB, and
80 for WB), s be the index of the current subframe in this SILK frame (0 or 1
for 10 ms frames, or 0 to 3 for 20 ms frames), and j be the index of
the first sample in the residual corresponding to the current subframe.
</t>
<section anchor="silk_ltp_synthesis" title="LTP Synthesis">
<t>
Voiced SILK frames (see <xref target="silk_frame_type"/>) pass the excitation
through an LTP filter using the parameters decoded in
<xref target="silk_ltp_params"/> to produce an LPC residual.
The LTP filter requires LPC residual values from before the current subframe as
input.
However, since the LPC coefficients may have changed, it obtains this residual
by "rewhitening" the corresponding output signal using the LPC coefficients
from the current subframe.
Let out[i] for
(j - pitch_lags[s] - d_LPC - 2) <= i < j
be the fully reconstructed output signal from the last
(pitch_lags[s] + d_LPC + 2) samples of previous subframes
(see <xref target="silk_lpc_synthesis"/>), where pitch_lags[s] is the pitch
lag for the current subframe from <xref target="silk_ltp_lags"/>.
During reconstruction of the first subframe for this channel after either
<list style="symbols">
<t>An uncoded regular SILK frame (if this is the side channel), or</t>

res[i], via

</figure>
This requires storage to buffer up to 306 values of out[i] from previous
subframes.
This corresponds to WB with a maximum pitch lag of
18 ms * 16 kHz samples, plus 16 samples for d_LPC, plus 2
samples for the width of the LTP filter.
</t>
<t>
Let e_Q23[i] for j <= i < (j + n) be the
excitation for the current subframe, and b_Q7[k] for
0 <= k < 5 be the coefficients of the LTP filter
taken from the codebook entry in one of
Tables <xref format="counter" target="silk_ltp_filter_coeffs0"/>
through <xref format="counter" target="silk_ltp_filter_coeffs2"/>

the LPC residual is

LPC synthesis uses the short-term LPC filter to predict the next output
coefficient.
For i such that (j - d_LPC) <= i < j, let
lpc[i] be the result of LPC synthesis from the last d_LPC samples of the
previous subframe, or zeros in the first subframe for this channel after
either
<list style="symbols">
<t>An uncoded regular SILK frame (if this is the side channel), or</t>
<t>A decoder reset (see <xref target="decoder-reset"/>).</t>
</list>
Then for i such that j <= i < (j + n), the
result of LPC synthesis for the current subframe is
<figure align="center">

]]></artwork>
</figure>
The decoder saves the final d_LPC values, i.e., lpc[i] such that
(j + n - d_LPC) <= i < (j + n),
to feed into the LPC synthesis of the next subframe.
This requires storage for up to 16 values of lpc[i] (for WB frames).
</t>
<t>
Then, the signal is clamped into the final nominal range:
<figure align="center">
<artwork align="center"><![CDATA[
out[i] = clamp(-1.0, lpc[i], 1.0) .
]]></artwork>
</figure>
This clamping occurs entirely after the LPC synthesis filter has run.
The decoder saves the unclamped values, lpc[i], to feed into the LPC filter for
the next subframe, but saves the clamped values, out[i], for rewhitening in
voiced frames.

<section anchor="silk_stereo_unmixing" title="Stereo Unmixing">
<t>
For stereo streams, after decoding a frame from each channel, the decoder must
convert the mid-side (MS) representation into a left-right (LR)
representation.
The function silk_stereo_MS_to_LR (stereo_MS_to_LR.c) implements this process.
In it, the decoder predicts the side channel using a) a simple low-passed
version of the mid channel, and b) the unfiltered mid channel, using the
prediction weights decoded in <xref target="silk_stereo_pred"/>.
This simple low-pass filter imposes a one-sample delay, and the unfiltered
mid channel is also delayed by one sample.
In order to allow seamless switching between stereo and mono, mono streams must
also impose the same one-sample delay.
The encoder requires an additional one-sample delay for both mono and stereo
streams, though an encoder may omit the delay for mono if it knows it will
never switch to stereo.
</t>
<t>
The unmixing process operates in two phases.
The first phase lasts for 8 ms, during which it interpolates the
prediction weights from the previous frame, prev_w0_Q13 and prev_w1_Q13, to
the values for the current frame, w0_Q13 and w1_Q13.
The second phase simply uses these weights for the remainder of the frame.
</t>
<t>
Let mid[i] and side[i] be the contents of out[i] (from
<xref target="silk_lpc_synthesis"/>) for the current mid and side channels,
respectively, and let left[i] and right[i] be the corresponding stereo output
channels.
If the side channel is not coded (see <xref target="silk_mid_only_flag"/>),
then side[i] is set to zero.
Also let j be defined as in <xref target="silk_frame_reconstruction"/>, n1 be
the number of samples in phase 1 (64 for NB, 96 for MB, and 128 for WB),
and n2 be the total number of samples in the frame.
Then for i such that j <= i < (j + n2),
the left and right channel output is
<figure align="center">
<artwork align="center"><![CDATA[

These formulas require two samples prior to index j, the start of the
frame, for the mid channel, and one prior sample for the side channel.
For the first frame after a decoder reset, zeros are used instead.
</t>
</section>
<section title="Resampling">
<t>
After stereo unmixing (if any), the decoder applies resampling to convert the
decoded SILK output to the sample rate desired by the application.
This is necessary when decoding a Hybrid frame at SWB or FB sample rates, or
whenever the decoder wants the output at a different sample rate than the
internal SILK sampling rate (e.g., to allow a constant sample rate when the
audio bandwidth changes, or to allow mixing with audio from other
applications).
The resampler itself is non-normative, and a decoder can use any method it
wants to perform the resampling.
</t>
<t>
However, a minimum amount of delay is imposed to allow the resampler to
operate, and this delay is normative, so that the corresponding delay can be
applied to the MDCT layer in the encoder.
A decoder is always free to use a resampler which requires more delay than
allowed for here (e.g., to improve quality), but it must then delay the output
of the MDCT layer by this extra amount.
Keeping as much delay as possible on the encoder side allows an encoder which
knows it will never use any of the SILK or Hybrid modes to skip this delay.
By contrast, if it were all applied by the decoder, then a decoder which
processes audio in fixed-size blocks would be forced to delay the output of
CELT frames just in case of a later switch to a SILK or Hybrid mode.
</t>
<t>
<xref target="silk_resampler_delay_alloc"/> gives the maximum resampler delay
in samples at 48 kHz for each SILK audio bandwidth.
Because the actual output rate may not be 48 kHz, it may not be possible
to achieve exactly these delays while using a whole number of input or output
samples.
The reference implementation is able to resample to any of the supported
output sampling rates (8, 12, 16, 24, or 48 kHz) within or near this
delay constraint.
Some resampling filters (including those used by the reference implementation)
may add a delay that is not an exact integer, or is not linear-phase, and so
cannot be represented by a single delay at all frequencies.
However, such deviations are unlikely to be perceptible, and the comparison
tool described in <xref target="conformance"/> is designed to be relatively
insensitive to them.
The delays listed here are the ones that should be targeted by the encoder.
</t>
<texttable anchor="silk_resampler_delay_alloc"

<c>WB</c> <c>0.706</c>
</texttable>
<t>
NB is given a smaller decoder delay allocation than MB and WB to allow a
higher-order filter when resampling to 8 kHz in both the encoder and
decoder.
This implies that the audio content of two SILK frames operating at different
bandwidths are not perfectly aligned in time.
This is not an issue for any transitions described in
<xref target="switching"/>, because they all involve a SILK decoder reset.
When the decoder is reset, any samples remaining in the resampling buffer
are discarded, and the resampler is re-initialized with silence.

<section title="CELT Decoder">
<t>
The CELT layer of Opus is based on the Modified Discrete Cosine Transform
<xref target='MDCT'/> with partially overlapping windows of 5 to 22.5 ms.
The main principle behind CELT is that the MDCT spectrum is divided into
bands that (roughly) follow the Bark scale, i.e., the scale of the ear's
critical bands <xref target="Zwicker61"/>. The normal CELT layer uses 21 of those bands, though Opus
Custom (see <xref target="opus-custom"/>) may use a different number of bands.
In Hybrid mode, the first 17 bands (up to 8 kHz) are not coded.
A band can contain as little as one MDCT bin per channel, and as many as 176
bins per channel, as detailed in <xref target="celt_band_sizes"/>.
In each band, the gain (energy) is coded separately from
the shape of the spectrum. Coding the gain explicitly makes it easy to
preserve the spectral envelope of the signal. The remaining unit-norm shape
vector is encoded using a Pyramid Vector Quantizer (PVQ) <xref target='PVQ-decoder'/>.

Transients are notoriously difficult for transform codecs to code.
CELT uses two different strategies for them:
<list style="numbers">
<t>Using multiple smaller MDCTs instead of a single large MDCT, and</t>
<t>Dynamic time-frequency resolution changes (See <xref target='tf-change'/>).</t>
</list>
To improve quality on highly tonal and periodic signals, CELT includes
a prefilter/postfilter combination. The prefilter on the encoder side
attenuates the signal's harmonics. The postfilter on the decoder side
restores the original gain of the harmonics, while shaping the coding noise
to roughly follow the harmonics. Such noise shaping reduces the perception
of the noise.
</t>
<t>
When coding a stereo signal, three coding methods are available:
<list style="symbols">
<t>mid-side stereo: encodes the mean and the difference of the left and right channels,</t>
<t>intensity stereo: only encodes the mean of the left and right channels (discards the difference),</t>
<t>dual stereo: encodes the left and right channels separately.</t>

The decoder extracts information from the range-coded bitstream in the order
described in <xref target='celt_symbols'/>. In some circumstances, it is
possible for a decoded value to be out of range due to a very small amount of redundancy
in the encoding of large integers by the range coder.
In that case, the decoder should assume there has been an error in the coding,
decoding, or transmission and SHOULD take measures to conceal the error and/or report
to the application that a problem has occurred. Such out of range errors cannot occur
in the SILK layer.
</t>
<section anchor="transient-decoding" title="Transient Decoding">
<t>
The "transient" flag indicates whether the frame uses a single long MDCT or several short MDCTs.
When it is set, then the MDCT coefficients represent multiple
short MDCTs in the frame. When not set, the coefficients represent a single
long MDCT for the frame. The flag is encoded in the bitstream with a probability of 1/8.
In addition to the global transient flag is a per-band
binary flag to change the time-frequency (tf) resolution independently in each band. The
change in tf resolution is defined in tf_select_table[][] in celt.c and depends
on the frame size, whether the transient flag is set, and the value of tf_select.
The tf_select flag uses a 1/2 probability, but is only decoded
if it can have an impact on the result knowing the value of all per-band
tf_change flags.
</t>
</section>
<section anchor="energy-decoding" title="Energy Envelope Decoding">
<t>
It is important to quantize the energy with sufficient resolution because
any energy quantization error cannot be compensated for at a later
stage. Regardless of the resolution used for encoding the spectral shape of a band,
it is perceptually important to preserve the energy in each band. CELT uses a
three-step coarse-fine-fine strategy for encoding the energy in the base-2 log
domain, as implemented in quant_bands.c</t>
<section anchor="coarse-energy-decoding" title="Coarse energy decoding">
<t>
Coarse quantization of the energy uses a fixed resolution of 6 dB
(integer part of base-2 log). To minimize the bitrate, prediction is applied
both in time (using the previous frame) and in frequency (using the previous
bands). The part of the prediction that is based on the
previous frame can be disabled, creating an "intra" frame where the energy
is coded without reference to prior frames. The decoder first reads the intra flag
to determine what prediction is used.
The 2-D z-transform <xref target='z-transform'/> of
the prediction filter is:
<figure align="center">
<artwork align="center"><![CDATA[
-1 -1
(1 - alpha*z_l )*(1 - z_b )

</figure>
where b is the band index and l is the frame index. The prediction coefficients
applied depend on the frame size in use when not using intra energy and are alpha=0, beta=4915/32768
when using intra energy.
The time-domain prediction is based on the final fine quantization of the previous
frame, while the frequency domain (within the current frame) prediction is based
on coarse quantization only (because the fine quantization has not been computed
yet). The prediction is clamped internally so that fixed point implementations with
limited dynamic range always remain in the same state as floating point implementations.
We approximate the ideal
probability distribution of the prediction error using a Laplace distribution
with separate parameters for each frame size in intra- and inter-frame modes. These
parameters are held in the e_prob_model table in quant_bands.c.
The
coarse energy quantization is performed by unquant_coarse_energy() and
unquant_coarse_energy_impl() (quant_bands.c). The encoding of the Laplace-distributed values is
implemented in ec_laplace_decode() (laplace.c).
</t>
</section>
<section anchor="fine-energy-decoding" title="Fine energy quantization">
<t>
The number of bits assigned to fine energy quantization in each band is determined
by the bit allocation computation described in <xref target="allocation"></xref>.
Let B_i be the number of fine energy bits
for band i; the refinement is an integer f in the range [0,2**B_i-1]. The mapping between f
and the correction applied to the coarse energy is equal to (f+1/2)/2**B_i - 1/2. Fine
energy quantization is implemented in quant_fine_energy() (quant_bands.c).
</t>
<t>
When some bits are left "unused" after all other flags have been decoded, these bits
are assigned to a "final" step of fine allocation. In effect, these bits are used
to add one extra fine energy bit per band per channel. The allocation process
determines two "priorities" for the final fine bits.
Any remaining bits are first assigned only to bands of priority 0, starting
from band 0 and going up. If all bands of priority 0 have received one bit per
channel, then bands of priority 1 are assigned an extra bit per channel,
starting from band 0. If any bits are left after this, they are left unused.
This is implemented in unquant_energy_finalise() (quant_bands.c).
</t>

<section anchor="allocation" title="Bit Allocation">
<t>Because the bit allocation drives the decoding of the range-coder
stream, it MUST be recovered exactly so that identical coding decisions are
made in the encoder and decoder. Any deviation from the reference's resulting
bit allocation will result in corrupted output, though implementers are
free to implement the procedure in any way which produces identical results.</t>
<t>The per-band gain-shape structure of the CELT layer ensures that using
the same number of bits for the spectral shape of a band in every frame will
result in a roughly constant signal-to-noise ratio in that band.
This results in coding noise that has the same spectral envelope as the signal.
The masking curve produced by a standard psychoacoustic model also closely
follows the spectral envelope of the signal.
This structure means that the ideal allocation is more consistent from frame to
frame than it is for other codecs without an equivalent structure, and that a
fixed allocation provides fairly consistent perceptual
performance <xref target='Valin2010'/>.</t>
<t>Many codecs transmit significant amounts of side information to control the
bit allocation within a frame.
Often this control is only indirect, and must be exercised carefully to
achieve the desired rate constraints.
The CELT layer, however, can adapt over a very wide range of rates, and thus
has a large number of codebook sizes to choose from for each band.
Explicitly signaling the size of each of these codebooks would impose
considerable overhead, even though the allocation is relatively static from
frame to frame.
This is because all of the information required to compute these codebook sizes
must be derived from a single frame by itself, in order to retain robustness
to packet loss, so the signaling cannot take advantage of knowledge of the
allocation in neighboring frames.
This problem is exacerbated in low-latency (small frame size) applications,
which would include this overhead in every frame.</t>
<t>For this reason, in the MDCT mode Opus uses a primarily implicit bit
allocation. The available bitstream capacity is known in advance to both
the encoder and decoder without additional signaling, ultimately from the
packet sizes expressed by a higher-level protocol. Using this information,
the codec interpolates an allocation from a hard-coded table.</t>
<t>While the band-energy structure effectively models intra-band masking,
it ignores the weaker inter-band masking, band-temporal masking, and
other less significant perceptual effects. While these effects can
often be ignored, they can become significant for particular samples. One
mechanism available to encoders would be to simply increase the overall
rate for these frames, but this is not possible in a constant rate mode
and can be fairly inefficient. As a result three explicitly signaled
mechanisms are provided to alter the implicit allocation:</t>
<t>
<list style="symbols">
<t>Band boost</t>
<t>Allocation trim</t>
<t>Band skipping</t>
</list>
</t>
<t>The first of these mechanisms, band boost, allows an encoder to boost
the allocation in specific bands. The second, allocation trim, works by
biasing the overall allocation towards higher or lower frequency bands. The third, band
skipping, selects which low-precision high frequency bands
will be allocated no shape bits at all.</t>
<t>In stereo mode there are two additional parameters
potentially coded as part of the allocation procedure: a parameter to allow the
selective elimination of allocation for the 'side' (i.e., intensity stereo) in jointly coded bands,
and a flag to deactivate joint coding (i.e., dual stereo). These values are not signaled if
they would be meaningless in the overall context of the allocation.</t>
<t>Because every signaled adjustment increases overhead and implementation
complexity, none were included speculatively: the reference encoder makes use
of all of these mechanisms. While the decision logic in the reference was
found to be effective enough to justify the overhead and complexity, further
analysis techniques may be discovered which increase the effectiveness of these
parameters. As with other signaled parameters, an encoder is free to choose the
values in any manner, but unless a technique is known to deliver superior
perceptual results the methods used by the reference implementation should be
used.</t>
<t>The allocation process consists of the following steps: determining the per-band
maximum allocation vector, decoding the boosts, decoding the tilt, determining
the remaining capacity of the frame, searching the mode table for the
entry nearest but not exceeding the available space (subject to the tilt, boosts, band
maximums, and band minimums), linear interpolation, reallocation of
unused bits with concurrent skip decoding, determination of the
fine-energy vs. shape split, and final reallocation. This process results
in a per-band shape allocation (in 1/8th bit units), a per-band fine-energy
allocation (in 1 bit per channel units), a set of band priorities for
controlling the use of remaining bits at the end of the frame, and a
remaining balance of unallocated space, which is usually zero except
at very high rates.</t>
<t>
The "static" bit allocation (in 1/8 bits) for a quality q, excluding the minimums, maximums,
tilt and boosts, is equal to channels*N*alloc[band][q]<<LM>>2, where
alloc[][] is given in <xref target="static_alloc"/> and LM=log2(frame_size/120). The allocation
is obtained by linearly interpolating between two values of q (in steps of 1/64) to find the
highest allocation that does not exceed the number of bits remaining.

<t>The maximum allocation vector is an approximation of the maximum space
that can be used by each band for a given mode. The value is
approximate because the shape encoding is variable rate (due
to entropy coding of splitting parameters). Setting the maximum too low reduces the
maximum achievable quality in a band while setting it too high
may result in waste: bitstream capacity available at the end
of the frame which can not be put to any use. The maximums
specified by the codec reflect the average maximum. In the reference
implementation, the maximums in bits/sample are precomputed in a static table
(see cache_caps50[] in static_modes_float.h) for each band,
for each value of LM, and for both mono and stereo.
Implementations are expected
to simply use the same table data, but the procedure for generating
this table is included in rate.c as part of compute_pulse_cache().</t>
<t>To convert the values in cache.caps into the actual maximums: first
set nbBands to the maximum number of bands for this mode, and stereo to
zero if stereo is not in use and one otherwise. For each band set N
to the number of MDCT bins covered by the band (for one channel), set LM
to the shift value for the frame size,
then set i to nbBands*(2*LM+stereo). Then set the maximum for the band to
the i-th index of cache.caps + 64 and multiply by the number of channels
in the current frame (one or two) and by N, then divide the result by 4
using integer division. The resulting vector will be called
cap[]. The elements fit in signed 16-bit integers but do not fit in 8 bits.
This procedure is implemented in the reference in the function init_caps() in celt.c.
</t>
<t>The band boosts are represented by a series of binary symbols which
are entropy coded with very low probability. Each band can potentially be boosted
multiple times, subject to the frame actually having enough room to obey
the boost and having enough room to code the boost symbol. The default
coding cost for a boost starts out at six bits (probability p=1/64), but subsequent boosts
in a band cost only a single bit and every time a band is boosted the
initial cost is reduced (down to a minimum of two bits, or p=1/4). Since the initial
cost of coding a boost is 6 bits, the coding cost of the boost symbols when
completely unused is 0.48 bits/frame for a 21 band mode (21*-log2(1-1/2**6)).</t>
<t>To decode the band boosts: First set 'dynalloc_logp' to 6, the initial
amount of storage required to signal a boost in bits, 'total_bits' to the
size of the frame in 8th bits, 'total_boost' to zero, and 'tell' to the total number
of 8th bits decoded
so far. For each band from the coding start (0 normally, but 17 in Hybrid mode)
to the coding end (which changes depending on the signaled bandwidth), the boost quanta
in units of 1/8 bit is calculated as quanta = min(8*N, max(48, N)).
This represents a boost step size of six bits, subject to a lower limit of
1/8th bit/sample and an upper limit of 1 bit/sample.
Set 'boost' to zero and 'dynalloc_loop_logp'
to dynalloc_logp. While dynalloc_loop_log (the current worst case symbol cost) in
8th bits plus tell is less than total_bits plus total_boost and boost is less than cap[] for this
band: Decode a bit from the bitstream with a with dynalloc_loop_logp as the cost
of a one, update tell to reflect the current used capacity, if the decoded value
is zero break the loop otherwise add quanta to boost and total_boost, subtract quanta from
total_bits, and set dynalloc_loop_log to 1. When the while loop finishes
boost contains the boost for this band. If boost is non-zero and dynalloc_logp
is greater than 2, decrease dynalloc_logp. Once this process has been
executed on all bands, the band boosts have been decoded. This procedure
is implemented around line 2474 of celt.c.</t>
<t>At very low rates it is possible that there won't be enough available
space to execute the inner loop even once. In these cases band boost
is not possible but its overhead is completely eliminated. Because of the
high cost of band boost when activated, a reasonable encoder should not be
using it at very low rates. The reference implements its dynalloc decision
logic around line 1304 of celt.c.</t>
<t>The allocation trim is a integer value from 0-10. The default value of
5 indicates no trim. The trim parameter is entropy coded in order to
lower the coding cost of less extreme adjustments. Values lower than
5 bias the allocation towards lower frequencies and values above 5
bias it towards higher frequencies. Like other signaled parameters, signaling
of the trim is gated so that it is not included if there is insufficient space
available in the bitstream. To decode the trim, first set
the trim value to 5, then if and only if the count of decoded 8th bits so far (ec_tell_frac)
plus 48 (6 bits) is less than or equal to the total frame size in 8th
bits minus total_boost (a product of the above band boost procedure),
decode the trim value using the PDF in <xref target="celt_trim_pdf"/>.</t>
<texttable anchor="celt_trim_pdf" title="PDF for the Trim">

</texttable>
<t>For 10 ms and 20 ms frames using short blocks and that have at least LM+2 bits left prior to
the allocation process, then one anti-collapse bit is reserved in the allocation process so it can
be decoded later. Following the the anti-collapse reservation, one bit is reserved for skip if available.</t>
<t>For stereo frames, bits are reserved for intensity stereo and for dual stereo. Intensity stereo
requires ilog2(end-start) bits. Those bits are reserved if there is enough bits left. Following this, one
bit is reserved for dual stereo if available.</t>
<t>The allocation computation begins by setting up some initial conditions.
'total' is set to the remaining available 8th bits, computed by taking the
size of the coded frame times 8 and subtracting ec_tell_frac(). From this value, one (8th bit)
is subtracted to ensure that the resulting allocation will be conservative. 'anti_collapse_rsv'
is set to 8 (8th bits) if and only if the frame is a transient, LM is greater than 1, and total is
greater than or equal to (LM+2) * 8. Total is then decremented by anti_collapse_rsv and clamped
to be equal to or greater than zero. 'skip_rsv' is set to 8 (8th bits) if total is greater than
8, otherwise it is zero. Total is then decremented by skip_rsv. This reserves space for the
final skipping flag.</t>
<t>If the current frame is stereo, intensity_rsv is set to the conservative log2 in 8th bits
of the number of coded bands for this frame (given by the table LOG2_FRAC_TABLE in rate.c). If
intensity_rsv is greater than total then intensity_rsv is set to zero. Otherwise total is
decremented by intensity_rsv, and if total is still greater than 8, dual_stereo_rsv is
set to 8 and total is decremented by dual_stereo_rsv.</t>
<t>The allocation process then computes a vector representing the hard minimum amounts allocation
any band will receive for shape. This minimum is higher than the technical limit of the PVQ
process, but very low rate allocations produce an excessively sparse spectrum and these bands
are better served by having no allocation at all. For each coded band, set thresh[band] to
twenty-four times the number of MDCT bins in the band and divide by 16. If 8 times the number
of channels is greater, use that instead. This sets the minimum allocation to one bit per channel
or 48 128th bits per MDCT bin, whichever is greater. The band-size dependent part of this
value is not scaled by the channel count, because at the very low rates where this limit is
applicable there will usually be no bits allocated to the side.</t>
<t>The previously decoded allocation trim is used to derive a vector of per-band adjustments,
'trim_offsets[]'. For each coded band take the alloc_trim and subtract 5 and LM. Then multiply
the result by the number of channels, the number of MDCT bins in the shortest frame size for this mode,
the number of remaining bands, 2**LM, and 8. Then divide this value by 64. Finally, if the
number of MDCT bins in the band per channel is only one, 8 times the number of channels is subtracted
in order to diminish the allocation by one bit, because width 1 bands receive greater benefit
from the coarse energy coding.</t>
</section>
<section anchor="PVQ-decoder" title="Shape Decoding">
<t>
In each band, the normalized "shape" is encoded
using a vector quantization scheme called a "pyramid vector quantizer".
</t>
<t>In
the simplest case, the number of bits allocated in
<xref target="allocation"></xref> is converted to a number of pulses as described
by <xref target="bits-pulses"></xref>. Knowing the number of pulses and the
number of samples in the band, the decoder calculates the size of the codebook
as detailed in <xref target="cwrs-decoder"></xref>. The size is used to decode
an unsigned integer (uniform probability model), which is the codeword index.
This index is converted into the corresponding vector as explained in
<xref target="cwrs-decoder"></xref>. This vector is then scaled to unit norm.
</t>
<section anchor="bits-pulses" title="Bits to Pulses">
<t>
Although the allocation is performed in 1/8th bit units, the quantization requires
an integer number of pulses K. To do this, the encoder searches for the value
of K that produces the number of bits nearest to the allocated value
(rounding down if exactly halfway between two values), not to exceed
the total number of bits available. For efficiency reasons, the search is performed against a
precomputed allocation table which only permits some K values for each N. The number of
codebook entries can be computed as explained in <xref target="cwrs-decoder"></xref>. The difference
between the number of bits allocated and the number of bits used is accumulated to a
"balance" (initialized to zero) that helps adjust the
allocation for the next bands. One third of the balance is applied to the
bit allocation of each band to help achieve the target allocation. The only
exceptions are the band before the last and the last band, for which half the balance
and the whole balance are applied, respectively.
</t>
</section>
<section anchor="cwrs-decoder" title="PVQ Decoding">
<t>
Decoding of PVQ vectors is implemented in decode_pulses() (cwrs.c).
The unique codeword index is decoded as a uniformly-distributed integer value between 0 and
V(N,K)-1, where V(N,K) is the number of possible combinations of K pulses in
N samples. The index is then converted to a vector in the same way specified in
<xref target="PVQ"></xref>. The indexing is based on the calculation of V(N,K)
(denoted N(L,K) in <xref target="PVQ"></xref>).
</t>
<t>
The number of combinations can be computed recursively as
V(N,K) = V(N-1,K) + V(N,K-1) + V(N-1,K-1), with V(N,0) = 1 and V(0,K) = 0, K != 0.
There are many different ways to compute V(N,K), including precomputed tables and direct
use of the recursive formulation. The reference implementation applies the recursive
formulation one line (or column) at a time to save on memory use,
along with an alternate,
univariate recurrence to initialize an arbitrary line, and direct
polynomial solutions for small N. All of these methods are
equivalent, and have different trade-offs in speed, memory usage, and
code size. Implementations MAY use any methods they like, as long as
they are equivalent to the mathematical definition.
</t>
<t>
The decoded vector X is recovered as follows.
Let i be the index decoded with the procedure in <xref target="ec_dec_uint"/>
with ft = V(N,K), so that 0 <= i < V(N,K).
Let k = K.
Then for j = 0 to (N - 1), inclusive, do:
<list style="numbers">
<t>Let p = (V(N-j-1,k) + V(N-j,k))/2.</t>
<t>
If i < p, then let sgn = 1, else let sgn = -1
and set i = i - p.
</t>
<t>Let k0 = k and set p = p - V(N-j-1,k).</t>
<t>
While p > i, set k = k - 1 and
p = p - V(N-j-1,k).
</t>
<t>
Set X[j] = sgn*(k0 - k) and i = i - p.
</t>
</list>
</t>
<t>
The decoded vector X is then normalized such that its
L2-norm equals one.

<section anchor="spreading" title="Spreading">
<t>
The normalized vector decoded in <xref target="cwrs-decoder"/> is then rotated
for the purpose of avoiding tonal artifacts. The rotation gain is equal to
<figure align="center">
<artwork align="center"><![CDATA[

where N is the number of dimensions, K is the number of pulses, and f_r depends on
the value of the "spread" parameter in the bit-stream.

A 2-D rotation R(i,j) between points x_i and x_j is defined as:

x_i' = cos(theta)*x_i + sin(theta)*x_j
x_j' = -sin(theta)*x_i + cos(theta)*x_j

</figure>
An N-D rotation is then achieved by applying a series of 2-D rotations back and forth, in the
following order: R(x_1, x_2), R(x_2, x_3), ..., R(x_N-2, X_N-1), R(x_N-1, X_N),
R(x_N-2, X_N-1), ..., R(x_1, x_2).
</t>
<t>
If the decoded vector represents more
than one time block, then this spreading process is applied separately on each time block.
Also, if each block represents 8 samples or more, then another N-D rotation, by
(pi/2-theta), is applied <spanx style="emph">before</spanx> the rotation described above. This
extra rotation is applied in an interleaved manner with a stride equal to round(sqrt(N/nb_blocks)),
i.e., it is applied independently for each set of sample S_k = {stride*n + k}, n=0..N/stride-1.
</t>
</section>
<section anchor="split" title="Split decoding">
<t>
To avoid the need for multi-precision calculations when decoding PVQ codevectors,
the maximum size allowed for codebooks is 32 bits. When larger codebooks are
needed, the vector is instead split in two sub-vectors of size N/2.
A quantized gain parameter with precision
derived from the current allocation is entropy coded to represent the relative
gains of each side of the split, and the entire decoding process is recursively
applied. Multiple levels of splitting may be applied up to a limit of LM+1 splits.
The same recursive mechanism is applied for the joint coding
of stereo audio.

<section anchor="tf-change" title="Time-Frequency change">

The time-frequency (TF) parameters are used to control the time-frequency resolution tradeoff
in each coded band. For each band, there are two possible TF choices. For the first
band coded, the PDF is {3, 1}/4 for frames marked as transient and {15, 1}/16 for
the other frames. For subsequent bands, the TF choice is coded relative to the
previous TF choice with probability {15, 1}/15 for transient frames and {31, 1}/32
otherwise. The mapping between the decoded TF choices and the adjustment in TF

A negative TF adjustment means that the temporal resolution is increased,
while a positive TF adjustment means that the frequency resolution is increased.
Changes in TF resolution are implemented using the Hadamard transform <xref target="Hadamard"/>. To increase
the time resolution by N, N "levels" of the Hadamard transform are applied to the
decoded vector for each interleaved MDCT vector. To increase the frequency resolution
(assumes a transient frame), then N levels of the Hadamard transform are applied
<spanx style="emph">across</spanx> the interleaved MDCT vector. In the case of increased
time resolution the decoder uses the "sequency order" because the input vector
is sorted in time.

</section>
<section anchor="anti-collapse" title="Anti-Collapse Processing">
<t>
The anti-collapse feature is designed to avoid the situation where the use of multiple
short MDCTs causes the energy in one or more of the MDCTs to be zero for
some bands, causing unpleasant artifacts.
When the frame has the transient bit set, an anti-collapse bit is decoded.
When anti-collapse is set, the energy in each small MDCT is prevented
from collapsing to zero. For each band of each MDCT where a collapse is
detected, a pseudo-random signal is inserted with an energy corresponding
to the minimum energy over the two previous frames. A renormalization step is
then required to ensure that the anti-collapse step did not alter the
energy preservation property.
</t>
</section>
<section anchor="denormalization" title="Denormalization">
<t>
Just as each band was normalized in the encoder, the last step of the decoder before
the inverse MDCT is to denormalize the bands. Each decoded normalized band is
multiplied by the square root of the decoded energy. This is done by denormalise_bands()
(bands.c).
</t>
</section>
<section anchor="inverse-mdct" title="Inverse MDCT">
<t>The inverse MDCT implementation has no special characteristics. The
input is N frequency-domain samples and the output is 2*N time-domain
samples, while scaling by 1/2. A "low-overlap" window reduces the algorithmic delay.
It is derived from a basic (full overlap) 240-sample version of the window used by the Vorbis codec:
<figure align="center">

</figure>
The low-overlap window is created by zero-padding the basic window and inserting ones in the
middle, such that the resulting window still satisfies power complementarity <xref target='Princen86'/>.
The IMDCT and
windowing are performed by mdct_backward (mdct.c).
</t>
<section anchor="post-filter" title="Post-filter">
<t>
The output of the inverse MDCT (after weighted overlap-add) is sent to the
post-filter. Although the post-filter is applied at the end, the post-filter
parameters are encoded at the beginning, just after the silence flag.
The post-filter can be switched on or off using one bit (logp=1).
If the post-filter is enabled, then the octave is decoded as an integer value
between 0 and 6 of uniform probability. Once the octave is known, the fine pitch
within the octave is decoded using 4+octave raw bits. The final pitch period
is equal to (16<<octave)+fine_pitch-1 so it is bounded between 15 and 1022,
inclusively. Next, the gain is decoded as three raw bits and is equal to
G=3*(int_gain+1)/32. The set of post-filter taps is decoded last, using
a pdf equal to {2, 1, 1}/4. Tapset zero corresponds to the filter coefficients
g0 = 0.3066406250, g1 = 0.2170410156, g2 = 0.1296386719. Tapset one
corresponds to the filter coefficients g0 = 0.4638671875, g1 = 0.2680664062,

<section anchor="Packet Loss Concealment" title="Packet Loss Concealment (PLC)">
<t>
Packet loss concealment (PLC) is an optional decoder-side feature that
SHOULD be included when receiving from an unreliable channel. Because
PLC is not part of the bitstream, there are many acceptable ways to
implement PLC with different complexity/quality trade-offs.
</t>
<t>
The PLC in
the reference implementation depends on the mode of last packet received.
In CELT mode, the PLC finds a periodicity in the decoded
signal and repeats the windowed waveform using the pitch offset. The windowed
waveform is overlapped in such a way as to preserve the time-domain aliasing
cancellation with the previous frame and the next frame. This is implemented
in celt_decode_lost() (mdct.c). In SILK mode, the PLC uses LPC extrapolation
from the previous frame, implemented in silk_PLC() (PLC.c).
</t>
<section anchor="clock-drift" title="Clock Drift Compensation">
<t>
Clock drift refers to the gradual desynchronization of two endpoints
whose sample clocks run at different frequencies while they are streaming
live audio. Differences in clock frequencies are generally attributable to
manufacturing variation in the endpoints' clock hardware. For long-lived
streams, the time difference between sender and receiver can grow without
bound.
</t>
<t>
When the sender's clock runs slower than the receiver's, the effect is similar
to packet loss: too few packets are received. The receiver can distinguish
between drift and loss if the transport provides packet timestamps. A receiver
for live streams SHOULD conceal the effects of drift, and MAY do so by invoking
the PLC.
</t>
<t>
When the sender's clock runs faster than the receiver's, too many packets will
be received. The receiver MAY respond by skipping any packet (i.e., not
submitting the packet for decoding). This is likely to produce a less severe
artifact than if the frame were dropped after decoding.
</t>
<t>
A decoder MAY employ a more sophisticated drift compensation method. For
example, the
<xref target='Google-NetEQ'>NetEQ component</xref>
of the
<xref target='Google-WebRTC'>Google WebRTC codebase</xref>
compensates for drift by adding or removing
one period when the signal is highly periodic. The reference implementation of
Opus allows a caller to learn whether the current frame's signal is highly
periodic, and if so what the period is, using the OPUS_GET_PITCH() request.
</t>
</section>
</section>
<section anchor="switching" title="Configuration Switching">
<t>
Switching between the Opus coding modes, audio bandwidths, and channel counts
requires careful consideration to avoid audible glitches.
Switching between any two configurations of the CELT-only mode, any two
configurations of the Hybrid mode, or from WB SILK to Hybrid mode does not
require any special treatment in the decoder, as the MDCT overlap will smooth
the transition.
Switching from Hybrid mode to WB SILK requires adding in the final contents
of the CELT overlap buffer to the first SILK-only packet.
This can be done by decoding a 2.5 ms silence frame with the CELT decoder
using the channel count of the SILK-only packet (and any choice of audio
bandwidth), which will correctly handle the cases when the channel count
changes as well.
</t>
<t>
When changing the channel count for SILK-only or Hybrid packets, the encoder
can avoid glitches by smoothly varying the stereo width of the input signal
before or after the transition, and SHOULD do so.
However, other transitions between SILK-only packets or between NB or MB SILK
and Hybrid packets may cause glitches, because neither the LSF coefficients
nor the LTP, LPC, stereo unmixing, and resampler buffers are available at the
new sample rate.
These switches SHOULD be delayed by the encoder until quiet periods or
transients, where the inevitable glitches will be less audible. Additionally,
the bit-stream MAY include redundant side information ("redundancy"), in the
form of additional CELT frames embedded in each of the Opus frames around the
transition.
</t>
<t>
The other transitions that cannot be easily handled are those where the lower
frequencies switch between the SILK LP-based model and the CELT MDCT model.
However, an encoder may not have an opportunity to delay such a switch to a
convenient point.
For example, if the content switches from speech to music, and the encoder does
not have enough latency in its analysis to detect this in advance, there may
be no convenient silence period during which to make the transition for quite
some time.
To avoid or reduce glitches during these problematic mode transitions, and
also between audio bandwidth changes in the SILK-only modes, transitions MAY
include redundant side information ("redundancy"), in the form of an
additional CELT frame embedded in the Opus frame.
</t>
<t>
A transition between coding the lower frequencies with the LP model and the
MDCT model or a transition that involves changing the SILK bandwidth
is only normatively specified when it includes redundancy.
For those without redundancy, it is RECOMMENDED that the decoder use a
concealment technique (e.g., make use of a PLC algorithm) to "fill in" the
gap or discontinuity caused by the mode transition.
Therefore, PLC MUST NOT be applied during any normative transition, i.e., when
<list style="symbols">
<t>A packet includes redundancy for this transition (as described below),</t>
<t>The transition is between any WB SILK packet and any Hybrid packet, or vice
versa,</t>
<t>The transition is between any two Hybrid mode packets, or</t>
<t>The transition is between any two CELT mode packets,</t>
</list>
unless there is actual packet loss.
</t>
<section anchor="side-info" title="Transition Side Information (Redundancy)">
<t>
Transitions with side information include an extra 5 ms "redundant" CELT
frame within the Opus frame.
This frame is designed to fill in the gap or discontinuity in the different
layers without requiring the decoder to conceal it.
For transitions from CELT-only to SILK-only or Hybrid, the redundant frame is
inserted in the first Opus frame after the transition (i.e., the first
SILK-only or Hybrid frame).
For transitions from SILK-only or Hybrid to CELT-only, the redundant frame is
inserted in the last Opus frame before the transition (i.e., the last
SILK-only or Hybrid frame).
</t>
<section anchor="opus_redundancy_flag" title="Redundancy Flag">
<t>
The presence of redundancy is signaled in all SILK-only and Hybrid frames, not
just those involved in a mode transition.
This allows the frames to be decoded correctly even if an adjacent frame is
lost.
For SILK-only frames, this signaling is implicit, based on the size of the
of the Opus frame and the number of bits consumed decoding the SILK portion of
it.
After decoding the SILK portion of the Opus frame, the decoder uses ec_tell()
(see <xref target="ec_tell"/>) to check if there are at least 17 bits
remaining.
If so, then the frame contains redundancy.
</t>
<t>
For Hybrid frames, this signaling is explicit.
After decoding the SILK portion of the Opus frame, the decoder uses ec_tell()
(see <xref target="ec_tell"/>) to ensure there are at least 37 bits remaining.
If so, it reads a symbol with the PDF in
<xref target="opus_redundancy_flag_pdf"/>, and if the value is 1, then the
frame contains redundancy.
Otherwise (if there were fewer than 37 bits left or the value was 0), the frame
does not contain redundancy.
</t>
<texttable anchor="opus_redundancy_flag_pdf" title="Redundancy Flag PDF">
<ttcol>PDF</ttcol>
<c>{4095, 1}/4096</c>
</texttable>
</section>
<section anchor="opus_redundancy_pos" title="Redundancy Position Flag">
<t>
Since the current frame is a SILK-only or a Hybrid frame, it must be at least
10 ms.
Therefore, it needs an additional flag to indicate whether the redundant
5 ms CELT frame should be mixed into the beginning of the current frame,
or the end.
After determining that a frame contains redundancy, the decoder reads a
1 bit symbol with a uniform PDF
(<xref target="opus_redundancy_pos_pdf"/>).
</t>
<texttable anchor="opus_redundancy_pos_pdf" title="Redundancy Position PDF">
<ttcol>PDF</ttcol>
<c>{1, 1}/2</c>
</texttable>
<t>
If the value is zero, this is the first frame in the transition, and the
redundancy belongs at the end.
If the value is one, this is the second frame in the transition, and the
redundancy belongs at the beginning.
There is no way to specify that an Opus frame contains separate redundant CELT
frames at both the beginning and the end.
</t>
</section>
<section anchor="opus_redundancy_size" title="Redundancy Size">
<t>
Unlike the CELT portion of a Hybrid frame, the redundant CELT frame does not
use the same entropy coder state as the rest of the Opus frame, because this
would break the CELT bit allocation mechanism in Hybrid frames.
Thus, a redundant CELT frame always starts and ends on a byte boundary, even in
SILK-only frames, where this is not strictly necessary.
</t>
<t>
For SILK-only frames, the number of bytes in the redundant CELT frame is simply
the number of whole bytes remaining, which must be at least 2, due to the
space check in <xref target="opus_redundancy_flag"/>.
For Hybrid frames, the number of bytes is equal to 2, plus a decoded unsigned
integer less than 256 (see <xref target="ec_dec_uint"/>).
This may be more than the number of whole bytes remaining in the Opus frame,
in which case the frame is invalid.
However, a decoder is not required to ignore the entire frame, as this may be
the result of a bit error that desynchronized the range coder.
There may still be useful data before the error, and a decoder MAY keep any
audio decoded so far instead of invoking the PLC, but it is RECOMMENDED that
the decoder stop decoding and discard the rest of the current Opus frame.
</t>
<t>
It would have been possible to avoid these invalid states in the design of Opus
by limiting the range of the explicit length decoded from Hybrid frames by the
actual number of whole bytes remaining.
However, this would require an encoder to determine the rate allocation for the
MDCT layer up front, before it began encoding that layer.
By allowing some invalid sizes, the encoder is able to defer that decision
until much later.
When encoding Hybrid frames which do not include redundancy, the encoder must
still decide up-front if it wishes to use the minimum 37 bits required to
trigger encoding of the redundancy flag, but this is a much looser
restriction.
</t>
<t>
After determining the size of the redundant CELT frame, the decoder reduces
the size of the buffer currently in use by the range coder by that amount.
The MDCT layer reads any raw bits from the end of this reduced buffer, and all
calculations of the number of bits remaining in the buffer must be done using
this new, reduced size, rather than the original size of the Opus frame.
</t>
</section>
<section anchor="opus_redundancy_decoding" title="Decoding the Redundancy">
<t>
The redundant frame is decoded like any other CELT-only frame, with the
exception that it does not contain a TOC byte.
The frame size is fixed at 5 ms, the channel count is set to that of the
current frame, and the audio bandwidth is also set to that of the current
frame, with the exception that for MB SILK frames, it is set to WB.
</t>
<t>
If the redundancy belongs at the beginning (in a CELT-only to SILK-only or
Hybrid transition), the final reconstructed output uses the first 2.5 ms
of audio output by the decoder for the redundant frame as-is, discarding
the corresponding output from the SILK-only or Hybrid portion of the frame.
The remaining 2.5 ms is cross-lapped with the decoded SILK/Hybrid signal
using the CELT's power-complementary MDCT window to ensure a smooth
transition.
</t>
<t>
If the redundancy belongs at the end (in a SILK-only or Hybrid to CELT-only
transition), only the second half (2.5 ms) of the audio output by the
decoder for the redundant frame is used.
In that case, the second half of the redundant frame is cross-lapped with the
end of the SILK/Hybrid signal, again using CELT's power-complementary MDCT
window to ensure a smooth transition.
</t>
</section>
</section>
<section anchor="decoder-reset" title="State Reset">
<t>
When a transition occurs, the state of the SILK or the CELT decoder (or both)
may need to be reset before decoding a frame in the new mode.
This avoids reusing "out of date" memory, which may not have been updated in
some time or may not be in a well-defined state due to, e.g., PLC.
The SILK state is reset before every SILK-only or Hybrid frame where the
previous frame was CELT-only.
The CELT state is reset every time the operating mode changes and the new mode
is either Hybrid or CELT-only, except when the transition uses redundancy as
described above.
When switching from SILK-only or Hybrid to CELT-only with redundancy, the CELT
state is reset before decoding the redundant CELT frame embedded in the
SILK-only or Hybrid frame, but it is not reset before decoding the following
CELT-only frame.
When switching from CELT-only mode to SILK-only or Hybrid mode with redundancy,
the CELT decoder is not reset for decoding the redundant CELT frame.
</t>
</section>
<section title="Summary of Transitions">
<t>
<xref target="normative_transitions"/> illustrates all of the normative
transitions involving a mode change, an audio bandwidth change, or both.
Each one uses an S, H, or C to represent an Opus frame in the corresponding
mode.
In addition, an R indicates the presence of redundancy in the Opus frame it is
cross-lapped with.
Its location in the first or last 5 ms is assumed to correspond to whether
it is the frame before or after the transition.
Other uses of redundancy are non-normative.
Finally, a c indicates the contents of the CELT overlap buffer after the
previously decoded frame (i.e., as extracted by decoding a silence frame).

The behavior of transitions without redundancy where PLC is allowed is non-normative.
An encoder might still wish to use these transitions if, for example, it

a decision to switch after it has already transmitted the frame that would
have had to contain the redundancy.

<t>
Just like the decoder, the Opus encoder also normally consists of two main blocks: the
SILK encoder and the CELT encoder. However, unlike the case of the decoder, a valid
(though potentially suboptimal) Opus encoder is not required to support all modes and
may thus only include a SILK encoder module or a CELT encoder module.
The output bit-stream of the Opus encoding contains bits from the SILK and CELT
encoders, though these are not separable due to the use of a range coder.
A block diagram of the encoder is illustrated below.

<t>
For a normal encoder where both the SILK and the CELT modules are included, an optimal
encoder should select which coding mode to use at run-time depending on the conditions.
In the reference implementation, the frame size is selected by the application, but the
other configuration parameters (number of channels, bandwidth, mode) are automatically
selected (unless explicitly overridden by the application) depend on the following:
<list style="symbols">
<t>Requested bitrate</t>
<t>Input sampling rate</t>
<t>Type of signal (speech vs music)</t>
<t>Frame size in use</t>
</list>
The type of signal currently needs to be provided by the application (though it can be
changed in real-time). An Opus encoder implementation could also do automatic detection,
but since Opus is an interactive codec, such an implementation would likely have to either
delay the signal (for non-interactive applications) or delay the mode switching decisions (for
interactive applications).
</t>
<t>
When the encoder is configured for voice over IP applications, the input signal is
filtered by a high-pass filter to remove the lowest part of the spectrum
that contains little speech energy and may contain background noise. This is a second order
Auto Regressive Moving Average (i.e., with poles and zeros) filter with a cut-off frequency around 50 Hz.
In the future, a music detector may also be used to lower the cut-off frequency when the
input signal is detected to be music rather than speech.
</t>
<section anchor="range-encoder" title="Range Encoder">
<t>
The range coder acts as the bit-packer for Opus.
It is used in three different ways: to encode
<list style="symbols">
<t>
Entropy-coded symbols with a fixed probability model using ec_encode()
(entenc.c),
</t>
<t>
Integers from 0 to (2**M - 1) using ec_enc_uint() or ec_enc_bits()
(entenc.c),</t>
<t>
Integers from 0 to (ft - 1) (where ft is not a power of two) using
ec_enc_uint() (entenc.c).
</t>
</list>
</t>
<t>
The range encoder maintains an internal state vector composed of the four-tuple
(val, rng, rem, ext) representing the low end of the current
range, the size of the current range, a single buffered output byte, and a
count of additional carry-propagating output bytes.
Both val and rng are 32-bit unsigned integer values, rem is a byte value or
less than 255 or the special value -1, and ext is an unsigned integer with at
least 11 bits.
This state vector is initialized at the start of each each frame to the value
(0, 2**31, -1, 0).
After encoding a sequence of symbols, the value of rng in the encoder should
exactly match the value of rng in the decoder after decoding the same sequence
of symbols.
This is a powerful tool for detecting errors in either an encoder or decoder
implementation.
The value of val, on the other hand, represents different things in the encoder
and decoder, and is not expected to match.
</t>
<t>
The decoder has no analog for rem and ext.
These are used to perform carry propagation in the renormalization loop below.
Each iteration of this loop produces 9 bits of output, consisting of 8 data
bits and a carry flag.
The encoder cannot determine the final value of the output bytes until it
propagates these carry flags.
Therefore the reference implementation buffers a single non-propagating output
byte (i.e., one less than 255) in rem and keeps a count of additional
propagating (i.e., 255) output bytes in ext.
An implementation may choose to use any mathematically equivalent scheme to
perform carry propagation.
</t>
<section anchor="encoding-symbols" title="Encoding Symbols">
<t>
The main encoding function is ec_encode() (entenc.c), which encodes symbol k in
the current context using the same three-tuple (fl[k], fh[k], ft)
as the decoder to describe the range of the symbol (see
<xref target="range-decoder"/>).
</t>
<t>
ec_encode() updates the state of the encoder as follows.
If fl[k] is greater than zero, then

<section anchor="range-encoder-renorm" title="Renormalization">

After this update, the range is normalized using a procedure very similar to
that of <xref target="range-decoder-renorm"/>, implemented by
ec_enc_normalize() (entenc.c).
The following process is repeated until rng > 2**23.
First, the top 9 bits of val, (val>>23), are sent to the carry buffer,
described in <xref target="ec_enc_carry_out"/>.
Then, the encoder sets

<section anchor="ec_enc_carry_out"
title="Carry Propagation and Output Buffering">
<t>
The function ec_enc_carry_out() (entenc.c) implements carry propagation and
output buffering.
It takes as input a 9-bit unsigned value, c, consisting of 8 data bits and an
additional carry bit.
If c is equal to the value 255, then ext is simply incremented, and no other
state updates are performed.
Otherwise, let b = (c>>8) be the carry bit.

<section anchor="encoding-alternate" title="Alternate Encoding Methods">
<t>
The reference implementation uses three additional encoding methods that are
exactly equivalent to the above, but make assumptions and simplifications that
allow for a more efficient implementation.
</t>
<section anchor="ec_encode_bin" title="ec_encode_bin()">
<t>
The first is ec_encode_bin() (entenc.c), defined using the parameter ftb
instead of ft.
It is mathematically equivalent to calling ec_encode() with
ft = (1<<ftb), but avoids using division.
</t>
</section>
<section anchor="ec_enc_bit_logp" title="ec_enc_bit_logp()">
<t>
The next is ec_enc_bit_logp() (entenc.c), which encodes a single binary symbol.
The context is described by a single parameter, logp, which is the absolute
value of the base-2 logarithm of the probability of a "1".
It is mathematically equivalent to calling ec_encode() with the 3-tuple
(fl[k] = 0, fh[k] = (1<<logp) - 1,
ft = (1<<logp)) if k is 0 and with
(fl[k] = (1<<logp) - 1,
fh[k] = ft = (1<<logp)) if k is 1.
The implementation requires no multiplications or divisions.
</t>
</section>
<section anchor="ec_enc_icdf" title="ec_enc_icdf()">
<t>
The last is ec_enc_icdf() (entenc.c), which encodes a single binary symbol with
a table-based context of up to 8 bits.
This uses the same icdf table as ec_dec_icdf() from
<xref target="ec_dec_icdf"/>.
The function is mathematically equivalent to calling ec_encode() with
fl[k] = (1<<ftb) - icdf[k-1] (or 0 if
k == 0), fh[k] = (1<<ftb) - icdf[k], and
ft = (1<<ftb).
This only saves a few arithmetic operations over ec_encode_bin(), but allows
the encoder to use the same icdf tables as the decoder.
</t>
</section>
</section>
<section anchor="encoding-bits" title="Encoding Raw Bits">
<t>
The raw bits used by the CELT layer are packed at the end of the buffer using
ec_enc_bits() (entenc.c).
Because the raw bits may continue into the last byte output by the range coder
if there is room in the low-order bits, the encoder must be prepared to merge
these values into a single byte.
The procedure in <xref target="encoder-finalizing"/> does this in a way that
ensures both the range coded data and the raw bits can be decoded
successfully.
</t>
</section>
<section anchor="encoding-ints" title="Encoding Uniformly Distributed Integers">
<t>
The function ec_enc_uint() (entenc.c) encodes one of ft equiprobable symbols in
the range 0 to (ft - 1), inclusive, each with a frequency of 1,
where ft may be as large as (2**32 - 1).
Like the decoder (see <xref target="ec_dec_uint"/>), it splits up the
value into a range coded symbol representing up to 8 of the high bits, and, if
necessary, raw bits representing the remainder of the value.
</t>
<t>
ec_enc_uint() takes a two-tuple (t, ft), where t is the unsigned integer
to be encoded, 0 <= t < ft, and ft is not
necessarily a power of two.
Let ftb = ilog(ft - 1), i.e., the number of bits required
to store (ft - 1) in two's complement notation.
If ftb is 8 or less, then t is encoded directly using ec_encode() with the
three-tuple (t, t + 1, ft).
</t>
<t>
If ftb is greater than 8, then the top 8 bits of t are encoded using the
three-tuple (t>>(ftb - 8),
(t>>(ftb - 8)) + 1,
((ft - 1)>>(ftb - 8)) + 1), and the
remaining bits,
(t & ((1<<(ftb - 8)) - 1),
are encoded as raw bits with ec_enc_bits().
</t>
</section>
<section anchor="encoder-finalizing" title="Finalizing the Stream">
<t>
After all symbols are encoded, the stream must be finalized by outputting a
value inside the current range.
Let end be the unsigned integer in the interval [val, val + rng)
with the largest number of trailing zero bits, b, such that
(end + (1<<b) - 1) is also in the interval
[val, val + rng).
This choice of end allows the maximum number of trailing bits to be set to
arbitrary values while still ensuring the range coded part of the buffer can
be decoded correctly.
Then, while end is not zero, the top 9 bits of end, i.e., (end>>23), are
passed to the carry buffer in accordance with the procedure in
<xref target="ec_enc_carry_out"/>, and end is updated via
<figure align="center">
<artwork align="center"><![CDATA[
end = (end<<8) & 0x7FFFFFFF .
]]></artwork>
</figure>
Finally, if the buffered output byte, rem, is neither zero nor the special
value -1, or the carry count, ext, is greater than zero, then 9 zero bits are
sent to the carry buffer to flush it to the output buffer.
When outputting the final byte from the range coder, if it would overlap any
raw bits already packed into the end of the output buffer, they should be ORed
into the same byte.
The bit allocation routines in the CELT layer should ensure that this can be
done without corrupting the range coder data so long as end is chosen as
described above.
If there is any space between the end of the range coder data and the end of
the raw bits, it is padded with zero bits.
This entire process is implemented by ec_enc_done() (entenc.c).
</t>
</section>
<section anchor="encoder-tell" title="Current Bit Usage">
<t>
The bit allocation routines in Opus need to be able to determine a
conservative upper bound on the number of bits that have been used
to encode the current frame thus far. This drives allocation
decisions and ensures that the range coder and raw bits will not
overflow the output buffer. This is computed in the
reference implementation to whole-bit precision by
the function ec_tell() (entcode.h) and to fractional 1/8th bit
precision by the function ec_tell_frac() (entcode.c).
Like all operations in the range coder, it must be implemented in a
bit-exact manner, and must produce exactly the same value returned by
the same functions in the decoder after decoding the same symbols.

<section title='SILK Encoder'>
<t>
In many respects the SILK encoder mirrors the SILK decoder described
in <xref target='silk_decoder_outline'/>.
Details such as the quantization and range coder tables can be found
there, while this section describes the high-level design choices that
were made.
The diagram below shows the basic modules of the SILK encoder.

</t>
<section title='Sample Rate Conversion'>
<t>
The input signal's sampling rate is adjusted by a sample rate conversion
module so that it matches the SILK internal sampling rate.
The input to the sample rate converter is delayed by a number of samples
depending on the sample rate ratio, such that the overall delay is constant
for all input and output sample rates.
</t>
</section>
<section title='Stereo Mixing'>
<t>
The stereo mixer is only used for stereo input signals.
It converts a stereo left/right signal into an adaptive
mid/side representation.
The first step is to compute non-adaptive mid/side signals
as half the sum and difference between left and right signals.
The side signal is then minimized in energy by subtracting a
prediction of it based on the mid signal.
This prediction works well when the left and right signals
exhibit linear dependency, for instance for an amplitude-panned
input signal.
Like in the decoder, the prediction coefficients are linearly
interpolated during the first 8 ms of the frame.
The mid signal is always encoded, whereas the residual
side signal is only encoded if it has sufficient
energy compared to the mid signal's energy.
If it has not,
the "mid_only_flag" is set without encoding the side signal.
</t>
<t>
The predictor coefficients are coded regardless of whether
the side signal is encoded.
For each frame, two predictor coefficients are computed, one
that predicts between low-passed mid and side channels, and
one that predicts between high-passed mid and side channels.
The low-pass filter is a simple three-tap filter
and creates a delay of one sample.
The high-pass filtered signal is the difference between
the mid signal delayed by one sample and the low-passed
signal. Instead of explicitly computing the high-passed
signal, it is computationally more efficient to transform
the prediction coefficients before applying them to the
filtered mid signal, as follows
<figure align="center">
<artwork align="center">
<![CDATA[
pred(n) = LP(n) * w0 + HP(n) * w1

]]>

</figure>
where w0 and w1 are the low-pass and high-pass prediction
coefficients, mid(n-1) is the mid signal delayed by one sample,
LP(n) and HP(n) are the low-passed and high-passed
signals and pred(n) is the prediction signal that is subtracted
from the side signal.

<section title='Voice Activity Detection'>
<t>
The input signal is processed by a Voice Activity Detector (VAD) to produce
a measure of voice activity, spectral tilt, and signal-to-noise estimates for
each frame. The VAD uses a sequence of half-band filterbanks to split the
signal into four subbands: 0...Fs/16, Fs/16...Fs/8, Fs/8...Fs/4, and
Fs/4...Fs/2, where Fs is the sampling frequency (8, 12, 16, or 24 kHz).
The lowest subband, from 0 - Fs/16, is high-pass filtered with a first-order
moving average (MA) filter (with transfer function H(z) = 1-z**(-1)) to
reduce the energy at the lowest frequencies. For each frame, the signal
energy per subband is computed.
In each subband, a noise level estimator tracks the background noise level
and a Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR) value is computed as the logarithm of the
ratio of energy to noise level.
Using these intermediate variables, the following parameters are calculated
for use in other SILK modules:
<list style="symbols">
<t>
Average SNR. The average of the subband SNR values.

</figure>
The pitch analysis finds a binary voiced/unvoiced classification, and, for
frames classified as voiced, four pitch lags per frame - one for each
5 ms subframe - and a pitch correlation indicating the periodicity of
the signal.
The input is first whitened using a Linear Prediction (LP) whitening filter,
where the coefficients are computed through standard Linear Prediction Coding
(LPC) analysis. The order of the whitening filter is 16 for best results, but
is reduced to 12 for medium complexity and 8 for low complexity modes.
The whitened signal is analyzed to find pitch lags for which the time
correlation is high.
The analysis consists of three stages for reducing the complexity:
<list style="symbols">
<t>In the first stage, the whitened signal is downsampled to 4 kHz
(from 8 kHz) and the current frame is correlated to a signal delayed
by a range of lags, starting from a shortest lag corresponding to
500 Hz, to a longest lag corresponding to 56 Hz.</t>
<t>
The second stage operates on an 8 kHz signal (downsampled from 12, 16,
or 24 kHz) and measures time correlations only near the lags
corresponding to those that had sufficiently high correlations in the first
stage. The resulting correlations are adjusted for a small bias towards
short lags to avoid ending up with a multiple of the true pitch lag.
The highest adjusted correlation is compared to a threshold depending on:
<list style="symbols">
<t>
Whether the previous frame was classified as voiced
</t>
<t>
The speech activity level
</t>
<t>
The spectral tilt.
</t>
</list>
If the threshold is exceeded, the current frame is classified as voiced and
the lag with the highest adjusted correlation is stored for a final pitch
analysis of the highest precision in the third stage.
</t>
<t>
The last stage operates directly on the whitened input signal to compute time
correlations for each of the four subframes independently in a narrow range
around the lag with highest correlation from the second stage.
</t>
</list>
</t>
</section>
<section title='Noise Shaping Analysis' anchor='noise_shaping_analysis_overview_section'>
<t>
The noise shaping analysis finds gains and filter coefficients used in the
prefilter and noise shaping quantizer. These parameters are chosen such that
they will fulfill several requirements:
<list style="symbols">
<t>
Balancing quantization noise and bitrate.
The quantization gains determine the step size between reconstruction levels
of the excitation signal. Therefore, increasing the quantization gain
amplifies quantization noise, but also reduces the bitrate by lowering
the entropy of the quantization indices.
</t>
<t>
Spectral shaping of the quantization noise; the noise shaping quantizer is
capable of reducing quantization noise in some parts of the spectrum at the
cost of increased noise in other parts without substantially changing the
bitrate.
By shaping the noise such that it follows the signal spectrum, it becomes
less audible. In practice, best results are obtained by making the shape
of the noise spectrum slightly flatter than the signal spectrum.
</t>
<t>
De-emphasizing spectral valleys; by using different coefficients in the
analysis and synthesis part of the prefilter and noise shaping quantizer,
the levels of the spectral valleys can be decreased relative to the levels
of the spectral peaks such as speech formants and harmonics.
This reduces the entropy of the signal, which is the difference between the
coded signal and the quantization noise, thus lowering the bitrate.
</t>
<t>
Matching the levels of the decoded speech formants to the levels of the
original speech formants; an adjustment gain and a first order tilt
coefficient are computed to compensate for the effect of the noise
shaping quantization on the level and spectral tilt.

<xref target='noise_shape_analysis_spectra_figure' /> shows an example of an
input signal spectrum (1).
After de-emphasis and level matching, the spectrum has deeper valleys (2).
The quantization noise spectrum (3) more or less follows the input signal
spectrum, while having slightly less pronounced peaks.
The entropy, which provides a lower bound on the bitrate for encoding the
excitation signal, is proportional to the area between the de-emphasized
spectrum (2) and the quantization noise spectrum (3). Without de-emphasis,
the entropy is proportional to the area between input spectrum (1) and
quantization noise (3) - clearly higher.
</t>
<t>
The transformation from input signal to de-emphasized signal can be
described as a filtering operation with a filter

</t>
<t>
All noise shaping parameters are computed and applied per subframe of 5 ms.
First, an LPC analysis is performed on a windowed signal block of 15 ms.
The signal block has a look-ahead of 5 ms relative to the current subframe,
and the window is an asymmetric sine window. The LPC analysis is done with the
autocorrelation method, with an order of between 8, in lowest-complexity mode,
and 16, for best quality.
</t>
<t>
Optionally the LPC analysis and noise shaping filters are warped by replacing
the delay elements by first-order allpass filters.
This increases the frequency resolution at low frequencies and reduces it at
high ones, which better matches the human auditory system and improves
quality.
The warped analysis and filtering comes at a cost in complexity
and is therefore only done in higher complexity modes.
</t>
<t>
The quantization gain is found by taking the square root of the residual energy
from the LPC analysis and multiplying it by a value inversely proportional
to the coding quality control parameter and the pitch correlation.
</t>
<t>
Next the two sets of short-term noise shaping coefficients a_ana(k) and
a_syn(k) are obtained by applying different amounts of bandwidth expansion to the
coefficients found in the LPC analysis.
This bandwidth expansion moves the roots of the LPC polynomial towards the
origin, using the formulas
<figure align="center">
<artwork align="center">
<![CDATA[
k
a_ana(k) = a(k)*g_ana , and
k
a_syn(k) = a(k)*g_syn ,

</figure>
where a(k) is the k'th LPC coefficient, and the bandwidth expansion factors
g_ana and g_syn are calculated as
<figure align="center">
<artwork align="center">
<![CDATA[
g_ana = 0.95 - 0.01*C, and
g_syn = 0.95 + 0.01*C,

</artwork>
</figure>
where C is the coding quality control parameter between 0 and 1.
Applying more bandwidth expansion to the analysis part than to the synthesis
part gives the desired de-emphasis of spectral valleys in between formants.
</t>
<t>
The long-term shaping is applied only during voiced frames.
It uses three filter taps, described by
<figure align="center">
<artwork align="center">

b_ana = F_ana * [0.25, 0.5, 0.25], and
b_syn = F_syn * [0.25, 0.5, 0.25].
]]>
</artwork>
</figure>
For unvoiced frames these coefficients are set to 0. The multiplication factors
F_ana and F_syn are chosen between 0 and 1, depending on the coding quality
control parameter, as well as the calculated pitch correlation and smoothed
subband SNR of the lowest subband. By having F_ana less than F_syn,
the pitch harmonics are emphasized relative to the valleys in between the
harmonics.
</t>
<t>
The tilt coefficient c_tilt is for unvoiced frames chosen as
<figure align="center">

and as

</artwork>
</figure>
for voiced frames, where V is the voice activity level between 0 and 1.
</t>
<t>
The adjustment gain G serves to correct any level mismatch between the original
and decoded signals that might arise from the noise shaping and de-emphasis.
This gain is computed as the ratio of the prediction gain of the short-term
analysis and synthesis filter coefficients. The prediction gain of an LPC
synthesis filter is the square root of the output energy when the filter is
excited by a unit-energy impulse on the input.
An efficient way to compute the prediction gain is by first computing the
reflection coefficients from the LPC coefficients through the step-down
algorithm, and extracting the prediction gain from the reflection coefficients
as

<artwork align="center">
<![CDATA[

where r_k is the k'th reflection coefficient.
</t>
<t>
Initial values for the quantization gains are computed as the square-root of
the residual energy of the LPC analysis, adjusted by the coding quality control
parameter.
These quantization gains are later adjusted based on the results of the
prediction analysis.
</t>
</section>
<section title='Prediction Analysis' anchor='pred_ana_overview_section'>
<t>
The prediction analysis is performed in one of two ways depending on how
the pitch estimator classified the frame.
The processing for voiced and unvoiced speech is described in
<xref target='pred_ana_voiced_overview_section' /> and
<xref target='pred_ana_unvoiced_overview_section' />, respectively.
Inputs to this function include the pre-whitened signal from the
pitch estimator (see <xref target='pitch_estimator_overview_section'/>).
</t>
<section title='Voiced Speech' anchor='pred_ana_voiced_overview_section'>
<t>
For a frame of voiced speech the pitch pulses will remain dominant in the
pre-whitened input signal.
Further whitening is desirable as it leads to higher quality at the same
available bitrate.
To achieve this, a Long-Term Prediction (LTP) analysis is carried out to
estimate the coefficients of a fifth-order LTP filter for each of four
subframes.
The LTP coefficients are quantized using the method described in
<xref target='ltp_quantizer_overview_section'/>, and the quantized LTP
coefficients are used to compute the LTP residual signal.
This LTP residual signal is the input to an LPC analysis where the LPC coefficients are
estimated using Burg's method <xref target="Burg"/>, such that the residual energy is minimized.
The estimated LPC coefficients are converted to a Line Spectral Frequency (LSF) vector
and quantized as described in <xref target='lsf_quantizer_overview_section'/>.
After quantization, the quantized LSF vector is converted back to LPC
coefficients using the full procedure in <xref target="silk_nlsfs"/>.
By using quantized LTP coefficients and LPC coefficients derived from the
quantized LSF coefficients, the encoder remains fully synchronized with the
decoder.
The quantized LPC and LTP coefficients are also used to filter the input
signal and measure residual energy for each of the four subframes.
</t>
</section>
<section title='Unvoiced Speech' anchor='pred_ana_unvoiced_overview_section'>
<t>
For a speech signal that has been classified as unvoiced, there is no need
for LTP filtering, as it has already been determined that the pre-whitened
input signal is not periodic enough within the allowed pitch period range
for LTP analysis to be worth the cost in terms of complexity and bitrate.
The pre-whitened input signal is therefore discarded, and instead the input
signal is used for LPC analysis using Burg's method.
The resulting LPC coefficients are converted to an LSF vector and quantized
as described in the following section.
They are then transformed back to obtain quantized LPC coefficients, which
are then used to filter the input signal and measure residual energy for
each of the four subframes.
</t>
<section title="Burg's Method">
<t>
The main purpose of linear prediction in SILK is to reduce the bitrate by
minimizing the residual energy.
At least at high bitrates, perceptual aspects are handled
independently by the noise shaping filter.
Burg's method is used because it provides higher prediction gain
than the autocorrelation method and, unlike the covariance method,
produces stable filters (assuming numerical errors don't spoil
that). SILK's implementation of Burg's method is also computationally
faster than the autocovariance method.
The implementation of Burg's method differs from traditional
implementations in two aspects.
The first difference is that it
operates on autocorrelations, similar to the Schur algorithm <xref target="Schur"/>, but
with a simple update to the autocorrelations after finding each
reflection coefficient to make the result identical to Burg's method.
This brings down the complexity of Burg's method to near that of
the autocorrelation method.
The second difference is that the signal in each subframe is scaled
by the inverse of the residual quantization step size. Subframes with
a small quantization step size will on average spend more bits for a
given amount of residual energy than subframes with a large step size.
Without scaling, Burg's method minimizes the total residual energy in
all subframes, which doesn't necessarily minimize the total number of
bits needed for coding the quantized residual. The residual energy
of the scaled subframes is a better measure for that number of
bits.
</t>
</section>
</section>
</section>
<section title='LSF Quantization' anchor='lsf_quantizer_overview_section'>
<t>
Unlike many other speech codecs, SILK uses variable bitrate coding
for the LSFs.
This improves the average rate-distortion (R-D) tradeoff and reduces outliers.
The variable bitrate coding minimizes a linear combination of the weighted
quantization errors and the bitrate.
The weights for the quantization errors are the Inverse
Harmonic Mean Weighting (IHMW) function proposed by Laroia et al.
(see <xref target="laroia-icassp" />).
These weights are referred to here as Laroia weights.
</t>
<t>
The LSF quantizer consists of two stages.
The first stage is an (unweighted) vector quantizer (VQ), with a
codebook size of 32 vectors.
The quantization errors for the codebook vector are sorted, and
for the N best vectors a second stage quantizer is run.
By varying the number N a tradeoff is made between R-D performance
and computational efficiency.
For each of the N codebook vectors the Laroia weights corresponding
to that vector (and not to the input vector) are calculated.
Then the residual between the input LSF vector and the codebook
vector is scaled by the square roots of these Laroia weights.
This scaling partially normalizes error sensitivity for the
residual vector, so that a uniform quantizer with fixed
step sizes can be used in the second stage without too much
performance loss.
And by scaling with Laroia weights determined from the first-stage
codebook vector, the process can be reversed in the decoder.
</t>
<t>
The second stage uses predictive delayed decision scalar
quantization.
The quantization error is weighted by Laroia weights determined
from the LSF input vector.
The predictor multiplies the previous quantized residual value
by a prediction coefficient that depends on the vector index from the
first stage VQ and on the location in the LSF vector.
The prediction is subtracted from the LSF residual value before
quantizing the result, and added back afterwards.
This subtraction can be interpreted as shifting the quantization levels
of the scalar quantizer, and as a result the quantization error of
each value depends on the quantization decision of the previous value.
This dependency is exploited by the delayed decision mechanism to
search for a quantization sequency with best R-D performance
with a Viterbi-like algorithm <xref target="Viterbi"/>.
The quantizer processes the residual LSF vector in reverse order
(i.e., it starts with the highest residual LSF value).
This is done because the prediction works slightly
better in the reverse direction.
</t>
<t>
The quantization index of the first stage is entropy coded.
The quantization sequence from the second stage is also entropy
coded, where for each element the probability table is chosen
depending on the vector index from the first stage and the location
of that element in the LSF vector.
</t>
<section title='LSF Stabilization' anchor='lsf_stabilizer_overview_section'>
<t>
If the input is stable, finding the best candidate usually results in a
quantized vector that is also stable. Because of the two-stage approach,
however, it is possible that the best quantization candidate is unstable.
The encoder applies the same stabilization procedure applied by the decoder
(see <xref target="silk_nlsf_stabilization"/> to ensure the LSF parameters
are within their valid range, increasingly sorted, and have minimum
distances between each other and the border values.

<section title='LTP Quantization' anchor='ltp_quantizer_overview_section'>
<t>
For voiced frames, the prediction analysis described in
<xref target='pred_ana_voiced_overview_section' /> resulted in four sets
(one set per subframe) of five LTP coefficients, plus four weighting matrices.
The LTP coefficients for each subframe are quantized using entropy constrained
vector quantization.
A total of three vector codebooks are available for quantization, with
different rate-distortion trade-offs. The three codebooks have 10, 20, and
40 vectors and average rates of about 3, 4, and 5 bits per vector, respectively.
Consequently, the first codebook has larger average quantization distortion at
a lower rate, whereas the last codebook has smaller average quantization
distortion at a higher rate.
Given the weighting matrix W_ltp and LTP vector b, the weighted rate-distortion
measure for a codebook vector cb_i with rate r_i is give by
<figure align="center">
<artwork align="center">
<![CDATA[
RD = u * (b - cb_i)' * W_ltp * (b - cb_i) + r_i,
]]>
</artwork>
</figure>
where u is a fixed, heuristically-determined parameter balancing the distortion
and rate.
Which codebook gives the best performance for a given LTP vector depends on the
weighting matrix for that LTP vector.
For example, for a low valued W_ltp, it is advantageous to use the codebook
with 10 vectors as it has a lower average rate.
For a large W_ltp, on the other hand, it is often better to use the codebook
with 40 vectors, as it is more likely to contain the best codebook vector.
The weighting matrix W_ltp depends mostly on two aspects of the input signal.
The first is the periodicity of the signal; the more periodic, the larger W_ltp.
The second is the change in signal energy in the current subframe, relative to
the signal one pitch lag earlier.
A decaying energy leads to a larger W_ltp than an increasing energy.
Both aspects fluctuate relatively slowly, which causes the W_ltp matrices for
different subframes of one frame often to be similar.
Because of this, one of the three codebooks typically gives good performance
for all subframes, and therefore the codebook search for the subframe LTP
vectors is constrained to only allow codebook vectors to be chosen from the
same codebook, resulting in a rate reduction.
</t>
<t>
To find the best codebook, each of the three vector codebooks is
used to quantize all subframe LTP vectors and produce a combined
weighted rate-distortion measure for each vector codebook.
The vector codebook with the lowest combined rate-distortion
over all subframes is chosen. The quantized LTP vectors are used
in the noise shaping quantizer, and the index of the codebook
plus the four indices for the four subframe codebook vectors
are passed on to the range encoder.
</t>
</section>
<section title='Prefilter'>
<t>
In the prefilter the input signal is filtered using the spectral valley
de-emphasis filter coefficients from the noise shaping analysis
(see <xref target='noise_shaping_analysis_overview_section'/>).
By applying only the noise shaping analysis filter to the input signal,
it provides the input to the noise shaping quantizer.
</t>
</section>
<section title='Noise Shaping Quantizer'>
<t>
The noise shaping quantizer independently shapes the signal and coding noise
spectra to obtain a perceptually higher quality at the same bitrate.
</t>
<t>
The prefilter output signal is multiplied with a compensation gain G computed
in the noise shaping analysis. Then the output of a synthesis shaping filter
is added, and the output of a prediction filter is subtracted to create a
residual signal.
The residual signal is multiplied by the inverse quantized quantization gain
from the noise shaping analysis, and input to a scalar quantizer.
The quantization indices of the scalar quantizer represent a signal of pulses
that is input to the pyramid range encoder.
The scalar quantizer also outputs a quantization signal, which is multiplied
by the quantized quantization gain from the noise shaping analysis to create
an excitation signal.
The output of the prediction filter is added to the excitation signal to form
the quantized output signal y(n).
The quantized output signal y(n) is input to the synthesis shaping and
prediction filters.
</t>
<t>
Optionally the noise shaping quantizer operates in a delayed decision
mode.
In this mode it uses a Viterbi algorithm to keep track of
multiple rounding choices in the quantizer and select the best
one after a delay of 32 samples. This improves the rate/distortion
performance of the quantizer.
</t>
</section>
<section title='Constant Bitrate Mode'>
<t>
SILK was designed to run in Variable Bitrate (VBR) mode. However
the reference implementation also has a Constant Bitrate (CBR) mode
for SILK. In CBR mode SILK will attempt to encode each packet with
no more than the allowed number of bits. The Opus wrapper code
then pads the bitstream if any unused bits are left in SILK mode, or
encodes the high band with the remaining number of bits in Hybrid mode.
The number of payload bits is adjusted by changing
the quantization gains and the rate/distortion tradeoff in the noise
shaping quantizer, in an iterative loop
around the noise shaping quantizer and entropy coding.
Compared to the SILK VBR mode, the CBR mode has lower
audio quality at a given average bitrate, and also has higher
computational complexity.
</t>
</section>
</section>
</section>
<section title="CELT Encoder">
<t>
Most of the aspects of the CELT encoder can be directly derived from the description
of the decoder. For example, the filters and rotations in the encoder are simply the
inverse of the operation performed by the decoder. Similarly, the quantizers generally
optimize for the mean square error (because noise shaping is part of the bit-stream itself),
so no special search is required. For this reason, only the less straightforward aspects of the
encoder are described here.
</t>
<section anchor="pitch-prefilter" title="Pitch Prefilter">
<t>The pitch prefilter is applied after the pre-emphasis. It is applied
in such a way as to be the inverse of the decoder's post-filter. The main non-obvious aspect of the
prefilter is the selection of the pitch period. The pitch search should be optimized for the
following criteria:
<list style="symbols">
<t>continuity: it is important that the pitch period
does not change abruptly between frames; and</t>
<t>avoidance of pitch multiples: when the period used is a multiple of the real period
(lower frequency fundamental), the post-filter loses most of its ability to reduce noise</t>
</list>
</t>
</section>
<section anchor="normalization" title="Bands and Normalization">
<t>
The MDCT output is divided into bands that are designed to match the ear's critical
bands for the smallest (2.5 ms) frame size. The larger frame sizes use integer
multiples of the 2.5 ms layout. For each band, the encoder
computes the energy that will later be encoded. Each band is then normalized by the
square root of the <spanx style="strong">unquantized</spanx> energy, such that each band now forms a unit vector X.
The energy and the normalization are computed by compute_band_energies()
and normalise_bands() (bands.c), respectively.
</t>
</section>
<section anchor="energy-quantization" title="Energy Envelope Quantization">
<t>
Energy quantization (both coarse and fine) can be easily understood from the decoding process.
For all useful bitrates, the coarse quantizer always chooses the quantized log energy value that
minimizes the error for each band. Only at very low rate does the encoder allow larger errors to
minimize the rate and avoid using more bits than are available. When the
available CPU requirements allow it, it is best to try encoding the coarse energy both with and without
inter-frame prediction such that the best prediction mode can be selected. The optimal mode depends on
the coding rate, the available bitrate, and the current rate of packet loss.
</t>
<t>The fine energy quantizer always chooses the quantized log energy value that
minimizes the error for each band because the rate of the fine quantization depends only
on the bit allocation and not on the values that are coded.
</t>
</section> <!-- Energy quant -->
<section title="Bit Allocation">
<t>The encoder must use exactly the same bit allocation process as used by the decoder
and described in <xref target="allocation"/>. The three mechanisms that can be used by the
encoder to adjust the bitrate on a frame-by-frame basis are band boost, allocation trim,
and band skipping.
</t>
<section title="Band Boost">
<t>The reference encoder makes a decision to boost a band when the energy of that band is significantly
higher than that of the neighboring bands. Let E_j be the log-energy of band j, we define
<list>
<t>D_j = 2*E_j - E_j-1 - E_j+1 </t>
</list>
The allocation of band j is boosted once if D_j > t1 and twice if D_j > t2. For LM>=1, t1=2 and t2=4,
while for LM<1, t1=3 and t2=5.
</t>
</section>
<section title="Allocation Trim">
<t>The allocation trim is a value between 0 and 10 (inclusively) that controls the allocation
balance between the low and high frequencies. The encoder starts with a safe "default" of 5
and deviates from that default in two different ways. First the trim can deviate by +/- 2
depending on the spectral tilt of the input signal. For signals with more low frequencies, the
trim is increased by up to 2, while for signals with more high frequencies, the trim is
decreased by up to 2.
For stereo inputs, the trim value can
be decreased by up to 4 when the inter-channel correlation at low frequency (first 8 bands)
is high. </t>
</section>
<section title="Band Skipping">
<t>The encoder uses band skipping to ensure that the shape of the bands is only coded
if there is at least 1/2 bit per sample available for the PVQ. If not, then no bit is allocated
and folding is used instead. To ensure continuity in the allocation, some amount of hysteresis is
added to the process, such that a band that received PVQ bits in the previous frame only needs 7/16
bit/sample to be coded for the current frame, while a band that did not receive PVQ bits in the
previous frames needs at least 9/16 bit/sample to be coded.</t>
</section>
</section>
<section title="Stereo Decisions">
<t>Because CELT applies mid-side stereo coupling in the normalized domain, it does not suffer from
important stereo image problems even when the two channels are completely uncorrelated. For this reason
it is always safe to use stereo coupling on any audio frame. That being said, there are some frames
for which dual (independent) stereo is still more efficient. This decision is made by comparing the estimated
entropy with and without coupling over the first 13 bands, taking into account the fact that all bands with
more than two MDCT bins require one extra degree of freedom when coded in mid-side. Let L1_ms and L1_lr
be the L1-norm of the mid-side vector and the L1-norm of the left-right vector, respectively. The decision
to use mid-side is made if and only if
<figure align="center">
<artwork align="center"><![CDATA[
L1_ms L1_lr
-------- < -----
bins + E bins
]]></artwork>
</figure>
where bins is the number of MDCT bins in the first 13 bands and E is the number of extra degrees of
freedom for mid-side coding. For LM>1, E=13, otherwise E=5.
</t>
<t>The reference encoder decides on the intensity stereo threshold based on the bitrate alone. After
taking into account the frame size by subtracting 80 bits per frame for coarse energy, the first
band using intensity coding is as follows:
</t>
<texttable anchor="intensity-thresholds"

</texttable>
</section>
<section title="Time-Frequency Decision">
<t>
The choice of time-frequency resolution used in <xref target="tf-change"></xref> is based on
R-D optimization. The distortion is the L1-norm (sum of absolute values) of each band
after each TF resolution under consideration. The L1 norm is used because it represents the entropy
for a Laplacian source. The number of bits required to code a change in TF resolution between
two bands is higher than the cost of having those two bands use the same resolution, which is
what requires the R-D optimization. The optimal decision is computed using the Viterbi algorithm.
See tf_analysis() in celt/celt.c.
</t>
</section>
<section title="Spreading Values Decision">
<t>
The choice of the spreading value in <xref target="spread values"></xref> has an
impact on the nature of the coding noise introduced by CELT. The larger the f_r value, the
lower the impact of the rotation, and the more tonal the coding noise. The
more tonal the signal, the more tonal the noise should be, so the CELT encoder determines
the optimal value for f_r by estimating how tonal the signal is. The tonality estimate
is based on discrete pdf (4-bin histogram) of each band. Bands that have a large number of small
values are considered more tonal and a decision is made by combining all bands with more than
8 samples. See spreading_decision() in celt/bands.c.
</t>
</section>
<section anchor="pvq" title="Spherical Vector Quantization">
<t>CELT uses a Pyramid Vector Quantization (PVQ) <xref target="PVQ"></xref>
codebook for quantizing the details of the spectrum in each band that have not
been predicted by the pitch predictor. The PVQ codebook consists of all sums
of K signed pulses in a vector of N samples, where two pulses at the same position
are required to have the same sign. Thus the codebook includes
all integer codevectors y of N dimensions that satisfy sum(abs(y(j))) = K.
</t>
<t>
In bands where there are sufficient bits allocated PVQ is used to encode
the unit vector that results from the normalization in
<xref target="normalization"></xref> directly. Given a PVQ codevector y,
the unit vector X is obtained as X = y/||y||, where ||.|| denotes the
L2 norm.
</t>
<section anchor="pvq-search" title="PVQ Search">
<t>
The search for the best codevector y is performed by alg_quant()
(vq.c). There are several possible approaches to the
search, with a trade-off between quality and complexity. The method used in the reference
implementation computes an initial codeword y1 by projecting the normalized spectrum
X onto the codebook pyramid of K-1 pulses:
</t>
<t>
y0 = truncate_towards_zero( (K-1) * X / sum(abs(X)))
</t>
<t>
Depending on N, K and the input data, the initial codeword y0 may contain from
0 to K-1 non-zero values. All the remaining pulses, with the exception of the last one,
are found iteratively with a greedy search that minimizes the normalized correlation
between y and X:
<figure align="center">
<artwork align="center"><![CDATA[
T
J = -X * y / ||y||
]]></artwork>
</figure>
</t>
<t>
The search described above is considered to be a good trade-off between quality
and computational cost. However, there are other possible ways to search the PVQ
codebook and the implementers MAY use any other search methods. See alg_quant() in celt/vq.c.
</t>
</section>
<section anchor="cwrs-encoder" title="PVQ Encoding">
<t>
The vector to encode, X, is converted into an index i such that
0 <= i < V(N,K) as follows.
Let i = 0 and k = 0.
Then for j = (N - 1) down to 0, inclusive, do:
<list style="numbers">

If k > 0, set
i = i + (V(N-j-1,k-1) + V(N-j,k-1))/2.

<section anchor="conformance" title="Conformance">
<t>
It is our intention to allow the greatest possible choice of freedom in
implementing the specification. For this reason, outside of the exceptions
noted in this section, conformance is defined through the reference
implementation of the decoder provided in <xref target="ref-implementation"/>.
Although this document includes an English description of the codec, should
the description contradict the source code of the reference implementation,
the latter shall take precedence.
</t>
<t>
Compliance with this specification means that in addition to following the normative keywords in this document,
a decoder's output MUST also be
within the thresholds specified by the opus_compare.c tool (included
with the code) when compared to the reference implementation for each of the
test vectors provided (see <xref target="test-vectors"></xref>) and for each output
sampling rate and channel count supported. In addition, a compliant
decoder implementation MUST have the same final range decoder state as that of the
reference decoder. It is therefore RECOMMENDED that the
decoder implement the same functional behavior as the reference.
A decoder implementation is not required to support all output sampling
rates or all output channel counts.
</t>
<section title="Testing">
<t>
Using the reference code provided in <xref target="ref-implementation"></xref>,
a test vector can be decoded with
<list>
<t>opus_demo -d <rate> <channels> testvectorX.bit testX.out</t>
</list>
where <rate> is the sampling rate and can be 8000, 12000, 16000, 24000, or 48000, and
<channels> is 1 for mono or 2 for stereo.
</t>
<t>
If the range decoder state is incorrect for one of the frames, the decoder will exit with
"Error: Range coder state mismatch between encoder and decoder". If the decoder succeeds, then
the output can be compared with the "reference" output with
<list>
<t>opus_compare -s -r <rate> testvectorX.dec testX.out</t>
</list>
for stereo or
<list>
<t>opus_compare -r <rate> testvectorX.dec testX.out</t>
</list>
for mono.
</t>
<t>In addition to indicating whether the test vector comparison passes, the opus_compare tool
outputs an "Opus quality metric" that indicates how well the tested decoder matches the
reference implementation. A quality of 0 corresponds to the passing threshold, while
a quality of 100 is the highest possible value and means that the output of the tested decoder is identical to the reference
implementation. The passing threshold (quality 0) was calibrated in such a way that it corresponds to
additive white noise with a 48 dB SNR (similar to what can be obtained on a cassette deck).
It is still possible for an implementation to sound very good with such a low quality measure
(e.g. if the deviation is due to inaudible phase distortion), but unless this is verified by
listening tests, it is RECOMMENDED that implementations achive a quality above 90 for 48 kHz
decoding. For other sampling rates, it is normal for the quality metric to be lower
(typically as low as 50 even for a good implementation) because of harmless mismatch with
the delay and phase of the internal sampling rate conversion.
</t>
<t>
On POSIX environments, the run_vectors.sh script can be used to verify all test
vectors. This can be done with
<list>
<t>run_vectors.sh <exec path> <vector path> <rate></t>
</list>
where <exec path> is the directory where the opus_demo and opus_compare executables
are built and <vector path> is the directory containing the test vectors.

</section>
<section anchor="opus-custom" title="Opus Custom">
<t>
Opus Custom is an OPTIONAL part of the specification that is defined to
handle special sample rates and frame rates that are not supported by the
main Opus specification. Use of Opus Custom is discouraged for all but very
special applications for which a frame size different from 2.5, 5, 10, or 20 ms is
needed (for either complexity or latency reasons). Because Opus Custom is
optional, streams encoded using Opus Custom cannot be expected to be decodable by all Opus
implementations. Also, because no in-band mechanism exists for specifying the sampling
rate and frame size of Opus Custom streams, out-of-band signaling is required.
In Opus Custom operation, only the CELT layer is available, using the opus_custom_* function
calls in opus_custom.h.
</t>
</section>
</section>
<section anchor="security" title="Security Considerations">
<t>
Like any other audio codec, Opus should not be used with insecure ciphers
or cipher-modes that are vulnerable to known-plaintext attacks. In addition to the zeros used
in Opus padding, digital silence frames generate predictable compressed results
and the TOC byte may have an easily predictable value.</t>
<t>
Implementations of the Opus codec need to take appropriate security considerations
into account, as outlined in <xref target="DOS"/>.
It is extremely important for the decoder to be robust against malicious
payloads.
Malicious payloads must not cause the decoder to overrun its allocated memory
or to take an excessive amount of resources to decode.
Although problems
in encoders are typically rarer, the same applies to the encoder. Malicious
audio streams must not cause the encoder to misbehave because this would
allow an attacker to attack transcoding gateways.
</t>
<t>
The reference implementation contains no known buffer overflow or cases where
a specially crafted packet or audio segment could cause a significant increase
in CPU load.
However, on certain CPU architectures where denormalized floating-point
operations are much slower than normal floating-point operations, it is
possible for some audio content (e.g., silence or near-silence) to cause an
increase in CPU load.
Denormals can be introduced by reordering operations in the compiler and depend
on the target architecture, so it is difficult to guarantee that an implementation
avoids them.
For architectures on which denormals are problematic, adding very small
floating-point offsets to the affected signals to prevent significant numbers
of denormalized operations is RECOMMENDED.
Alternatively, it is often possible to configure the hardware to treat
denormals as zero (DAZ).
No such issue exists for the fixed-point reference implementation.
</t>
<t>The reference implementation was validated in the following conditions:
<list style="numbers">
<t>
Sending the decoder valid packets generated by the reference encoder and
verifying that the decoder's final range coder state matches that of the
encoder.
</t>
<t>
Sending the decoder packets generated by the reference encoder and then
subjected to random corruption.
</t>
<t>Sending the decoder random packets.</t>
<t>
Sending the decoder packets generated by a version of the reference encoder
modified to make random coding decisions (internal fuzzing), including mode
switching, and verifying that the range coder final states match.
</t>
</list>
In all of the conditions above, both the encoder and the decoder were run
inside the <xref target="Valgrind">Valgrind</xref> memory
debugger, which tracks reads and writes to invalid memory regions as well as
the use of uninitialized memory.
There were no errors reported on any of the tested conditions.

The aim is to encourage protocol designers and network engineers towards designs that are more robust. We discuss partial solutions that reduce the effectiveness of attacks, and how some solutions might inadvertently open up alternative vulnerabilities. This memo provides information for the Internet community.</t></abstract></front>

<section anchor="ref-implementation" title="Reference Implementation">
<t>This appendix contains the complete source code for the
reference implementation of the Opus codec written in C. By default,
this implementation relies on floating-point arithmetic, but it can be
compiled to use only fixed-point arithmetic by defining the FIXED_POINT
macro. The normative behaviour is defined as the output using the floating-point
confguration. Information on building and using the reference implementation is
available in the README file.
</t>
<t>The implementation can be compiled with either a C89 or a C99
compiler. It is reasonably optimized for most platforms such that
only architecture-specific optimizations are likely to be useful.
The FFT <xref target="FFT"/> used is a slightly modified version of the KISS-FFT library,
but it is easy to substitute any other FFT library.
</t>
<t>
While the reference implementation does not rely on any
<spanx style="emph">undefined behavior</spanx> as defined by C89 or C99,
it relies on common <spanx style="emph">implementation-defined behavior</spanx>
for two's complement architectures:
<list style="symbols">
<t>Right shifts of negative values are consistent with two's complement arithmetic, so that a>>b is equivalent to floor(a/(2**b)),</t>
<t>For conversion to a signed integer of N bits, the value is reduced modulo 2**N to be within range of the type,</t>
<t>The result of integer division of a negative value is truncated towards zero, and</t>
<t>The compiler provides a 64-bit integer type (a C99 requirement which is supported by most C89 compilers).</t>
</list>
</t>
<t>
In its current form, the reference implementation also requires the following
architectural characteristics to obtain acceptable performance:
<list style="symbols">
<t>Two's complement arithmetic,</t>
<t>At least a 16 bit by 16 bit integer multiplier (32-bit result), and</t>
<t>At least a 32-bit adder/accumulator.</t>
</list>
</t>
<section title="Extracting the source">
<t>
The complete source code can be extracted from this draft, by running the
following command line:
<list style="symbols">
<t><![CDATA[
cat rfcXXXX.txt | grep '^\ \ \ ###' | sed -e 's/...###//' | base64 -d > opus_source.tar.gz
]]></t>
<t>
tar xzvf opus_source.tar.gz
</t>
<t>cd opus_source</t>
<t>make</t>
</list>
On systems where the provided Makefile does not work, the following command line may be used to compile
the source code:
<list style="symbols">
<t><![CDATA[
cc -O2 -g -o opus_demo src/opus_demo.c `cat *.mk | grep -v fixed | sed -e 's/.*=//' -e 's/\\\\//'` -DOPUS_BUILD -Iinclude -Icelt -Isilk -Isilk/float -DUSE_ALLOCA -Drestrict= -lm
]]></t></list>
</t>
<t>
On systems where the base64 utility is not present, the following commands can be used instead:
<list style="symbols">
<t><![CDATA[
cat rfcXXXX.txt | grep '^\ \ \ ###' | sed -e 's/...###//' > opus.b64
]]></t>
<t>openssl base64 -d -in opus.b64 > opus_source.tar.gz</t>
</list>
The SHA1 hash of the opus_source.tar.gz file is <?rfc include="code_sha1"?>
</t>
</section>
<section title="Up-to-date Implementation">
<t>
As of the time of publication of this memo, an up-to-date implementation conforming to
this standard is available in a
<xref target='Opus-git'>Git repository</xref>.
Releases and other resources are available at
<xref target='Opus-website'/>. However, although that implementation is expected to
remain conformant with the standard, it is the code in this document that shall
remain normative.

<section anchor="test-vectors" title="Test Vectors">
<t>
Because of size constraints, the Opus test vectors are not distributed in this
draft. They are available in the proceedings of the 83th IETF meeting (Paris) <xref target="Vectors-proc"/> and from the Opus codec website at
<xref target="Vectors-website"/>. These test vectors were created specifically to exercise
all aspects of the decoder and therefore the audio quality of the decoded output is
significantly lower than what Opus can achieve in normal operation.

The SHA1 hash of the files in the test vector package are

<section anchor="self-delimiting-framing" title="Self-Delimiting Framing">
<t>
To use the internal framing described in <xref target="modes"/>, the decoder
must know the total length of the Opus packet, in bytes.
This section describes a simple variation of that framing which can be used
when the total length of the packet is not known.
Nothing in the encoding of the packet itself allows a decoder to distinguish
between the regular, undelimited framing and the self-delimiting framing
described in this appendix.
Which one is used and where must be established by context at the transport
layer.
It is RECOMMENDED that a transport layer choose exactly one framing scheme,
rather than allowing an encoder to signal which one it wants to use.
</t>
<t>
For example, although a regular Opus stream does not support more than two
channels, a multi-channel Opus stream may be formed from several one- and
two-channel streams.
To pack an Opus packet from each of these streams together in a single packet
at the transport layer, one could use the self-delimiting framing for all but
the last stream, and then the regular, undelimited framing for the last one.
Reverting to the undelimited framing for the last stream saves overhead
(because the total size of the transport-layer packet will still be known),
and ensures that a "multi-channel" stream which only has a single Opus stream
uses the same framing as a regular Opus stream does.
This avoids the need for signaling to distinguish these two cases.
</t>
<t>
The self-delimiting framing is identical to the regular, undelimited framing
from <xref target="modes"/>, except that each Opus packet contains one extra
length field, encoded using the same one- or two-byte scheme from
<xref target="frame-length-coding"/>.
This extra length immediately precedes the compressed data of the first Opus
frame in the packet, and is interpreted in the various modes as follows:
<list style="symbols">
<t>
Code 0 packets: It is the length of the single Opus frame (see
<xref target="sd_code0_packet"/>).
</t>
<t>
Code 1 packets: It is the length used for both of the Opus frames (see
<xref target="sd_code1_packet"/>).
</t>
<t>
Code 2 packets: It is the length of the second Opus frame (see
<xref target="sd_code2_packet"/>).</t>
<t>
CBR Code 3 packets: It is the length used for all of the Opus frames (see
<xref target="sd_code3cbr_packet"/>).
</t>
<t>VBR Code 3 packets: It is the length of the last Opus frame (see
<xref target="sd_code3vbr_packet"/>).
</t>
</list>
