In multichannel audio coding, an improved coding efficiency is achieved by the following measure: the noise filling of zero-quantized scale factor bands is performed using noise filling sources other than artificially generated noise or spectral replica. In particular, the coding efficiency in multichannel audio coding may be rendered more efficient by performing the noise filling based on noise generated using spectral lines from a previous frame of, or a different channel of the current frame of, the multichannel audio signal.

A decoder includes a feature extraction circuit for calculating one or more feature vectors. An acoustic model circuit is coupled to receive one or more feature vectors from and assign one or more likelihood values to the one or more feature vectors. A memory architecture that utilizes on-chip state lattices and an off-chip memory for storing states of transition of the decoder is used to reduce reading and writing to the off-chip memory. The on-chip state lattice is populated with at least one of the states of transition stored in the off-chip memory. An an on-chip word is generated from a snapshot from the on-chip state lattice. The on-chip state lattice and the on-chip word lattice act as an on-chip cache to reduce reading and writing to the off-chip memory.
