 1.    INTRODUCTION
The Fraunhofer FDK AAC Codec Library for Android ("FDK AAC Codec") is software
that implements the MPEG Advanced Audio Coding ("AAC") encoding and decoding
scheme for digital audio. This FDK AAC Codec software is intended to be used on
a wide variety of Android devices.

AAC's HE-AAC and HE-AAC v2 versions are regarded as today's most efficient
general perceptual audio codecs. AAC-ELD is considered the best-performing
full-bandwidth communications codec by independent studies and is widely
deployed. AAC has been standardized by ISO and IEC as part of the MPEG
specifications.

Patent licenses for necessary patent claims for the FDK AAC Codec (including
those of Fraunhofer) may be obtained through Via Licensing
(www.vialicensing.com) or through the respective patent owners individually for
the purpose of encoding or decoding bit streams in products that are compliant
with the ISO/IEC MPEG audio standards. Please note that most manufacturers of
Android devices already license these patent claims through Via Licensing or
directly from the patent owners, and therefore FDK AAC Codec software may
already be covered under those patent licenses when it is used for those
licensed purposes only.

Commercially-licensed AAC software libraries, including floating-point versions
with enhanced sound quality, are also available from Fraunhofer. Users are
encouraged to check the Fraunhofer website for additional applications

\section Scope

This document describes the high-level interface and usage of the ISO/MPEG-2/4
AAC Encoder library developed by the Fraunhofer Institute for Integrated
Circuits (IIS).

The library implements encoding on the basis of the MPEG-2 and MPEG-4 AAC
Low-Complexity standard, and depending on the library's configuration, MPEG-4
High-Efficiency AAC v2 and/or AAC-ELD standard.

All references to SBR (Spectral Band Replication) are only applicable to HE-AAC
or AAC-ELD versions of the library. All references to PS (Parametric Stereo) are
only applicable to HE-AAC v2 versions of the library.

\section encBasics Encoder Basics

This document can only give a rough overview about the ISO/MPEG-2 and ISO/MPEG-4
AAC audio coding standard. To understand all the terms in this document, you are
encouraged to read the following documents.

- ISO/IEC 13818-7 (MPEG-2 AAC), which defines the syntax of MPEG-2 AAC audio
bitstreams.
- ISO/IEC 14496-3 (MPEG-4 AAC, subparts 1 and 4), which defines the syntax of
MPEG-4 AAC audio bitstreams.
- Lutzky, Schuller, Gayer, Kr&auml;mer, Wabnik, "A guideline to audio codec
delay", 116th AES Convention, May 8, 2004

MPEG Advanced Audio Coding is based on a time-to-frequency mapping of the
signal. The signal is partitioned into overlapping portions and transformed into
frequency domain. The spectral components are then quantized and coded. \n An
MPEG-2 or MPEG-4 AAC audio bitstream is composed of frames. Contrary to MPEG-1/2
Layer-3 (mp3), the length of individual frames is not restricted to a fixed
number of bytes, but can take on any length between 1 and 768 bytes.


\page LIBUSE Library Usage

\section InterfaceDescription API Files

All API header files are located in the folder /include of the release package.
All header files are provided for usage in C/C++ programs. The AAC encoder
library API functions are located in aacenc_lib.h.

\section CallingSequence Calling Sequence

For encoding of ISO/MPEG-2/4 AAC bitstreams the following sequence is mandatory.
Input read and output write functions as well as the corresponding open and
close functions are left out, since they may be implemented differently
according to the user's specific requirements. The example implementation uses
file-based input/output.

-# Call aacEncOpen() to allocate encoder instance with required \ref encOpen
"configuration". \code HANDLE_AACENCODER hAacEncoder = NULL; if ( (ErrorStatus =
aacEncOpen(&hAacEncoder,0,0)) != AACENC_OK ) { \endcode
-# Call aacEncoder_SetParam() for each parameter to be set. AOT, samplingrate,
channelMode, bitrate and transport type are \ref encParams "mandatory". \code
ErrorStatus = aacEncoder_SetParam(hAacEncoder, parameter, value);
\endcode
-# Call aacEncEncode() with NULL parameters to \ref encReconf "initialize"
encoder instance with present parameter set. \code ErrorStatus =
aacEncEncode(hAacEncoder, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL); \endcode
-# Call aacEncInfo() to retrieve a configuration data block to be transmitted
out of band. This is required when using RFC3640 or RFC3016 like transport.
\code
AACENC_InfoStruct encInfo;
aacEncInfo(hAacEncoder, &encInfo);
\endcode
-# Encode input audio data in loop.
\code
do
{
\endcode
Feed \ref feedInBuf "input buffer" with new audio data and provide input/output
\ref bufDes "arguments" to aacEncEncode(). \code ErrorStatus =
aacEncEncode(hAacEncoder, &inBufDesc, &outBufDesc, &inargs, &outargs); \endcode
Write \ref writeOutData "output data" to file or audio device.
\code
} while (ErrorStatus==AACENC_OK);
\endcode
-# Call aacEncClose() and destroy encoder instance.
\code
aacEncClose(&hAacEncoder);
\endcode


\section encOpen Encoder Instance Allocation

The assignment of the aacEncOpen() function is very flexible and can be used in
the following way.
- If the amount of memory consumption is not an issue, the encoder instance can
be allocated for the maximum number of possible audio channels (for example 6 or
8) with the full functional range supported by the library. This is the default
open procedure for the AAC encoder if memory consumption does not need to be
minimized. \code aacEncOpen(&hAacEncoder,0,0) \endcode
- If the required MPEG-4 AOTs do not call for the full functional range of the
library, encoder modules can be allocated selectively. \verbatim
------------------------------------------------------
 AAC | SBR |  PS | MD |         FLAGS         | value
-----+-----+-----+----+-----------------------+-------
  X  |  -  |  -  |  - | (0x01)                |  0x01
  X  |  X  |  -  |  - | (0x01|0x02)           |  0x03
  X  |  X  |  X  |  - | (0x01|0x02|0x04)      |  0x07
  X  |  -  |  -  |  X | (0x01          |0x10) |  0x11
  X  |  X  |  -  |  X | (0x01|0x02     |0x10) |  0x13
  X  |  X  |  X  |  X | (0x01|0x02|0x04|0x10) |  0x17
------------------------------------------------------
 - AAC: Allocate AAC Core Encoder module.
 - SBR: Allocate Spectral Band Replication module.
 - PS: Allocate Parametric Stereo module.
 - MD: Allocate Meta Data module within AAC encoder.
\endverbatim
\code aacEncOpen(&hAacEncoder,value,0) \endcode
- Specifying the maximum number of channels to be supported in the encoder
instance can be done as follows.
 - For example allocate an encoder instance which supports 2 channels for all
supported AOTs. The library itself may be capable of encoding up to 6 or 8
channels but in this example only 2 channel encoding is required and thus only
buffers for 2 channels are allocated to save data memory. \code
aacEncOpen(&hAacEncoder,0,2) \endcode
 - Additionally the maximum number of supported channels in the SBR module can
be denoted separately.\n In this example the encoder instance provides a maximum
of 6 channels out of which up to 2 channels support SBR. This encoder instance
can produce for example 5.1 channel AAC-LC streams or stereo HE-AAC (v2)
streams. HE-AAC 5.1 multi channel is not possible since only 2 out of 6 channels
support SBR, which saves data memory. \code aacEncOpen(&hAacEncoder,0,6|(2<<8))
\endcode \n

\section bufDes Input/Output Arguments

\subsection allocIOBufs Provide Buffer Descriptors
In the present encoder API, the input and output buffers are described with \ref
AACENC_BufDesc "buffer descriptors". This mechanism allows a flexible handling
of input and output buffers without impact to the actual encoding call. Optional
buffers are necessary e.g. for ancillary data, meta data input or additional
output buffers describing superframing data in DAB+ or DRM+.\n At least one
input buffer for audio input data and one output buffer for bitstream data must
be allocated. The input buffer size can be a user defined multiple of the number
of input channels. PCM input data will be copied from the user defined PCM
buffer to an internal input buffer and so input data can be less than one AAC
audio frame. The output buffer size should be 6144 bits per channel excluding
the LFE channel. If the output data does not fit into the provided buffer, an
AACENC_ERROR will be returned by aacEncEncode(). \code static INT_PCM
inputBuffer[8*2048]; static UCHAR            ancillaryBuffer[50]; static
AACENC_MetaData  metaDataSetup; static UCHAR            outputBuffer[8192];
\endcode

All input and output buffer must be clustered in input and output buffer arrays.
\code
static void* inBuffer[]        = { inputBuffer, ancillaryBuffer, &metaDataSetup
}; static INT   inBufferIds[]     = { IN_AUDIO_DATA, IN_ANCILLRY_DATA,
IN_METADATA_SETUP }; static INT   inBufferSize[]    = { sizeof(inputBuffer),
sizeof(ancillaryBuffer), sizeof(metaDataSetup) }; static INT   inBufferElSize[]
= { sizeof(INT_PCM), sizeof(UCHAR), sizeof(AACENC_MetaData) };

static void* outBuffer[]       = { outputBuffer };
static INT   outBufferIds[]    = { OUT_BITSTREAM_DATA };
static INT   outBufferSize[]   = { sizeof(outputBuffer) };
static INT   outBufferElSize[] = { sizeof(UCHAR) };
\endcode

Allocate buffer descriptors
\code
AACENC_BufDesc inBufDesc;
AACENC_BufDesc outBufDesc;
\endcode

Initialize input buffer descriptor
\code
inBufDesc.numBufs            = sizeof(inBuffer)/sizeof(void*);
inBufDesc.bufs              = (void**)&inBuffer;
inBufDesc.bufferIdentifiers = inBufferIds;
inBufDesc.bufSizes          = inBufferSize;
inBufDesc.bufElSizes        = inBufferElSize;
\endcode

Initialize output buffer descriptor
\code
outBufDesc.numBufs           = sizeof(outBuffer)/sizeof(void*);
outBufDesc.bufs              = (void**)&outBuffer;
outBufDesc.bufferIdentifiers = outBufferIds;
outBufDesc.bufSizes          = outBufferSize;
outBufDesc.bufElSizes        = outBufferElSize;
\endcode

\subsection argLists Provide Input/Output Argument Lists
The input and output arguments of an aacEncEncode() call are described in
argument structures. \code AACENC_InArgs     inargs; AACENC_OutArgs    outargs;
\endcode

\section feedInBuf Feed Input Buffer
The input buffer should be handled as a modulo buffer. New audio data in the
form of pulse-code- modulated samples (PCM) must be read from external and be
fed to the input buffer depending on its fill level. The required sample bitrate
(represented by the data type INT_PCM which is 16, 24 or 32 bits wide) is fixed
and depends on library configuration (usually 16 bit). \code inargs.numInSamples
+= WAV_InputRead ( wavIn, &inputBuffer[inargs.numInSamples],
                                       FDKmin(encInfo.inputChannels*encInfo.frameLength,
                                              sizeof(inputBuffer) /
                                              sizeof(INT_PCM)-inargs.numInSamples),
                                       SAMPLE_BITS
                                     );
\endcode

After the encoder's internal buffer is fed with incoming audio samples, and
aacEncEncode() processed the new input data, update/move remaining samples in
input buffer, simulating a modulo buffer: \code if (outargs.numInSamples>0) {
    FDKmemmove( inputBuffer,
                &inputBuffer[outargs.numInSamples],
                sizeof(INT_PCM)*(inargs.numInSamples-outargs.numInSamples) );
    inargs.numInSamples -= outargs.numInSamples;
}
\endcode

\section writeOutData Output Bitstream Data
If any AAC bitstream data is available, write it to output file or device as
follows. \code if (outargs.numOutBytes>0) { FDKfwrite(outputBuffer,
outargs.numOutBytes, 1, pOutFile);
}
\endcode

\section cfgMetaData Meta Data Configuration

If the present library is configured with Metadata support, it is possible to
insert meta data side info into the generated audio bitstream while encoding.

To work with meta data the encoder instance has to be \ref encOpen "allocated"
with meta data support. The meta data mode must be be configured with the
::AACENC_METADATA_MODE parameter and aacEncoder_SetParam() function. \code
aacEncoder_SetParam(hAacEncoder, AACENC_METADATA_MODE, 0-3); \endcode

This configuration indicates how to embed meta data into bitstrem. Either no
insertion, MPEG or ETSI style. The meta data itself must be specified within the
meta data setup structure AACENC_MetaData.

Changing one of the AACENC_MetaData setup parameters can be achieved from
outside the library within ::IN_METADATA_SETUP input buffer. There is no need to
supply meta data setup structure every frame. If there is no new meta setup data
available, the encoder uses the previous setup or the default configuration in
initial state.

In general the audio compressor and limiter within the encoder library can be
configured with the ::AACENC_METADATA_DRC_PROFILE parameter
AACENC_MetaData::drc_profile and and AACENC_MetaData::comp_profile.
\n

\section encReconf Encoder Reconfiguration

The encoder library allows reconfiguration of the encoder instance with new
settings continuously between encoding frames. Each parameter to be changed must
be set with a single aacEncoder_SetParam() call. The internal status of each
parameter can be retrieved with an aacEncoder_GetParam() call.\n There is no
stand-alone reconfiguration function available. When parameters were modified
from outside the library, an internal control mechanism triggers the necessary
reconfiguration process which will be applied at the beginning of the following
aacEncEncode() call. This state can be observed from external via the
AACENC_INIT_STATUS and aacEncoder_GetParam() function. The reconfiguration
process can also be applied immediately when all parameters of an aacEncEncode()
call are NULL with a valid encoder handle.\n\n The internal reconfiguration
process can be controlled from extern with the following access. \code
aacEncoder_SetParam(hAacEncoder, AACENC_CONTROL_STATE, AACENC_CTRLFLAGS);
\endcode


\section encParams Encoder Parametrization

All parameteres listed in ::AACENC_PARAM can be modified within an encoder
instance.

\subsection encMandatory Mandatory Encoder Parameters
The following parameters must be specified when the encoder instance is
initialized. \code aacEncoder_SetParam(hAacEncoder, AACENC_AOT, value);
aacEncoder_SetParam(hAacEncoder, AACENC_BITRATE, value);
aacEncoder_SetParam(hAacEncoder, AACENC_SAMPLERATE, value);
aacEncoder_SetParam(hAacEncoder, AACENC_CHANNELMODE, value);
\endcode
Beyond that is an internal auto mode which preinitizializes the ::AACENC_BITRATE
parameter if the parameter was not set from extern. The bitrate depends on the
number of effective channels and sampling rate and is determined as follows.
\code
AAC-LC (AOT_AAC_LC): 1.5 bits per sample
HE-AAC (AOT_SBR): 0.625 bits per sample (dualrate sbr)
HE-AAC (AOT_SBR): 1.125 bits per sample (downsampled sbr)
HE-AAC v2 (AOT_PS): 0.5 bits per sample
\endcode

\subsection channelMode Channel Mode Configuration
The input audio data is described with the ::AACENC_CHANNELMODE parameter in the
aacEncoder_SetParam() call. It is not possible to use the encoder instance with
a 'number of input channels' argument. Instead, the channelMode must be set as
follows. \code aacEncoder_SetParam(hAacEncoder, AACENC_CHANNELMODE, value);
\endcode The parameter is specified in ::CHANNEL_MODE and can be mapped from the
number of input channels in the following way. \code CHANNEL_MODE chMode =
MODE_INVALID;

switch (nChannels) {
  case 1:  chMode = MODE_1;          break;
  case 2:  chMode = MODE_2;          break;
  case 3:  chMode = MODE_1_2;        break;
  case 4:  chMode = MODE_1_2_1;      break;
  case 5:  chMode = MODE_1_2_2;      break;
  case 6:  chMode = MODE_1_2_2_1;    break;
  case 7:  chMode = MODE_6_1;        break;
  case 8:  chMode = MODE_7_1_BACK;   break;
  default:
    chMode = MODE_INVALID;
}
return chMode;
\endcode

\subsection peakbitrate Peak Bitrate Configuration
In AAC, the default bitreservoir configuration depends on the chosen bitrate per
frame and the number of effective channels. The size can be determined as below.
\f[
bitreservoir = nEffChannels*6144 - (bitrate*framelength/samplerate)
\f]
Due to audio quality concerns it is not recommended to change the bitreservoir
size to a lower value than the default setting! However, for minimizing the
delay for streaming applications or for achieving a constant size of the
bitstream packages in each frame, it may be necessaray to limit the maximum bits
per frame size. This can be done with the ::AACENC_PEAK_BITRATE parameter. \code
aacEncoder_SetParam(hAacEncoder, AACENC_PEAK_BITRATE, value);
\endcode

To achieve acceptable audio quality with a reduced bitreservoir size setting at
least 1000 bits per audio channel is recommended. For a multichannel audio file
with 5.1 channels the bitreservoir reduced to 5000 bits results in acceptable
audio quality.


\subsection vbrmode Variable Bitrate Mode
The variable bitrate (VBR) mode coding adapts the bit consumption to the
psychoacoustic requirements of the signal. The encoder ignores the user-defined
bit rate and selects a suitable pre-defined configuration based on the provided
AOT. The VBR mode 1 is tuned for HE-AACv2, for VBR mode 2, HE-AACv1 should be
used. VBR modes 3-5 should be used with Low-Complexity AAC. When encoding
AAC-ELD, the best mode is selected automatically.

The bitrates given in the table are averages over time and different encoder
settings. They strongly depend on the type of audio signal. The VBR
configurations can be adjusted with the ::AACENC_BITRATEMODE encoder parameter.
\verbatim
-----------------------------------------------
 VBR_MODE | Approx. Bitrate in kbps for stereo
          |     AAC-LC    |      AAC-ELD
----------+---------------+--------------------
    VBR_1 | 32 (HE-AACv2) |         48
    VBR_2 | 72 (HE-AACv1) |         56
    VBR_3 |      112      |         72
    VBR_4 |      148      |        148
    VBR_5 |      228      |        224
--------------------------------------------
\endverbatim
Note that these figures are valid for stereo encoding only. VBR modes 2-5 will
yield much lower bit rates when encoding single-channel input. For
configurations which are making use of downmix modules the AAC core channels
respectively downmix channels shall be considered.

\subsection encQual Audio Quality Considerations
The default encoder configuration is suggested to be used. Encoder tools such as
TNS and PNS are activated by default and are internally controlled (see \ref
BEHAVIOUR_TOOLS).

There is an additional quality parameter called ::AACENC_AFTERBURNER. In the
default configuration this quality switch is deactivated because it would cause
a workload increase which might be significant. If workload is not an issue in
the application we recommended to activate this feature. \code
aacEncoder_SetParam(hAacEncoder, AACENC_AFTERBURNER, 0/1); \endcode

\subsection encELD ELD Auto Configuration Mode
For ELD configuration a so called auto configurator is available which
configures SBR and the SBR ratio by itself. The configurator is used when the
encoder parameter ::AACENC_SBR_MODE and ::AACENC_SBR_RATIO are not set
explicitly.

Based on sampling rate and chosen bitrate a reasonable SBR configuration will be
used. \verbatim
------------------------------------------------------------------
 Sampling Rate |   Total Bitrate | No. of | SBR |       SBR Ratio
     [kHz]     |      [bit/s]    |  Chan  |     |

\subsection encDsELD Reduced Delay (Downscaled) Mode
The downscaled mode of AAC-ELD reduces the algorithmic delay of AAC-ELD by
virtually increasing the sampling rate. When using the downscaled mode, the
bitrate should be increased for keeping the same audio quality level. For common
signals, the bitrate should be increased by 25% for a downscale factor of 2.

Currently, downscaling factors 2 and 4 are supported.
To enable the downscaled mode in the encoder, the framelength parameter
AACENC_GRANULE_LENGTH must be set accordingly to 256 or 240 for a downscale
factor of 2 or 128 or 120 for a downscale factor of 4. The default values of 512
or 480 mean that no downscaling is applied. \code
aacEncoder_SetParam(hAacEncoder, AACENC_GRANULE_LENGTH, 256);
aacEncoder_SetParam(hAacEncoder, AACENC_GRANULE_LENGTH, 128);
\endcode

Downscaled bitstreams are fully backwards compatible. However, the legacy
decoder needs to support high sample rate, e.g. 96kHz. The signaled sampling
rate is multiplied by the downscale factor. Although not required, downscaling
should be applied when decoding downscaled bitstreams. It reduces CPU workload
and the output will have the same sampling rate as the input. In an ideal
configuration both encoder and decoder should run with the same downscale
factor.

The following table shows approximate filter bank delays in ms for common
sampling rates(sr) at framesize(fs), and downscale factor(dsf), based on this
formula: \f[ 1000 * fs / (dsf * sr) \f]

\section audiochCfg Audio Channel Configuration
The MPEG standard refers often to the so-called Channel Configuration. This
Channel Configuration is used for a fixed Channel Mapping. The configurations
1-7 and 11,12,14 are predefined in MPEG standard and used for implicit
signalling within the encoded bitstream. For user defined Configurations the
Channel Configuration is set to 0 and the Channel Mapping must be explecitly
described with an appropriate Program Config Element. The present Encoder
implementation does not allow the user to configure this Channel Configuration
from extern. The Encoder implementation supports fixed Channel Modes which are
mapped to Channel Configuration as follow. \verbatim

standard for Channel Config 1-7 and 11,12,14.\n In case of Channel Config 0 or
writing matrix mixdown coefficients, the encoder enables the writing of Program
Config Element itself as described in \ref encPCE. The configuration used in
Program Config Element refers to the denoted Table.\n Beside the Channel Element
assignment the Channel Modes are resposible for audio input data channel

\section suppBitrates Supported Bitrates

The FDK AAC Encoder provides a wide range of supported bitrates.
The minimum and maximum allowed bitrate depends on the Audio Object Type. For
AAC-LC the minimum bitrate is the bitrate that is required to write the most
basic and minimal valid bitstream. It consists of the bitstream format header
information and other static/mandatory information within the AAC payload. The
maximum AAC framesize allowed by the MPEG-4 standard determines the maximum
allowed bitrate for AAC-LC. For HE-AAC and HE-AAC v2 a library internal look-up
table is used.

A good working point in terms of audio quality, sampling rate and bitrate, is at
1 to 1.5 bits/audio sample for AAC-LC, 0.625 bits/audio sample for dualrate
HE-AAC, 1.125 bits/audio sample for downsampled HE-AAC and 0.5 bits/audio sample
for HE-AAC v2. For example for one channel with a sampling frequency of 48 kHz,
the range from 48 kbit/s to 72 kbit/s achieves reasonable audio quality for
AAC-LC.

For HE-AAC and HE-AAC v2 the lowest possible audio input sampling frequency is
16 kHz because then the AAC-LC core encoder operates in dual rate mode at its
lowest possible sampling frequency, which is 8 kHz. HE-AAC v2 requires stereo
input audio data.

Please note that in HE-AAC or HE-AAC v2 mode the encoder supports much higher
bitrates than are appropriate for HE-AAC or HE-AAC v2. For example, at a bitrate
of more than 64 kbit/s for a stereo audio signal at 44.1 kHz it usually makes
sense to use AAC-LC, which will produce better audio quality at that bitrate
than HE-AAC or HE-AAC v2.

\page ENCODERBEHAVIOUR Encoder Behaviour

\section BEHAVIOUR_BANDWIDTH Bandwidth

The FDK AAC encoder usually does not use the full frequency range of the input
signal, but restricts the bandwidth according to certain library-internal
settings. They can be changed in the table "bandWidthTable" in the file
bandwidth.cpp (if available).

The encoder API provides the ::AACENC_BANDWIDTH parameter to adjust the
bandwidth explicitly. \code aacEncoder_SetParam(hAacEncoder, AACENC_BANDWIDTH,
value); \endcode

However it is not recommended to change these settings, because they are based
on numerous listening tests and careful tweaks to ensure the best overall
encoding quality. Also, the maximum bandwidth that can be set manually by the
user is 20kHz or fs/2, whichever value is smaller.

Theoretically a signal of for example 48 kHz can contain frequencies up to 24
kHz, but to use this full range in an audio encoder usually does not make sense.
Usually the encoder has a very limited amount of bits to spend (typically 128
kbit/s for stereo 48 kHz content) and to allow full range bandwidth would waste
a lot of these bits for frequencies the human ear is hardly able to perceive
anyway, if at all. Hence it is wise to use the available bits for the really
important frequency range and just skip the rest. At lower bitrates (e. g. <= 80
kbit/s for stereo 48 kHz content) the encoder will choose an even smaller
bandwidth, because an encoded signal with smaller bandwidth and hence less
artifacts sounds better than a signal with higher bandwidth but then more coding
artefacts across all frequencies. These artefacts would occur if small bitrates
and high bandwidths are chosen because the available bits are just not enough to
encode all frequencies well.

Unfortunately some people evaluate encoding quality based on possible bandwidth
as well, but it is a double-edged sword considering the trade-off described
above.

Another aspect is workload consumption. The higher the allowed bandwidth, the
more frequency lines have to be processed, which in turn increases the workload.

\section FRAMESIZES_AND_BIT_RESERVOIR Frame Sizes & Bit Reservoir

For AAC there is a difference between constant bit rate and constant frame
length due to the so-called bit reservoir technique, which allows the encoder to
use less bits in an AAC frame for those audio signal sections which are easy to
encode, and then spend them at a later point in time for more complex audio
sections. The extent to which this "bit exchange" is done is limited to allow
for reliable and relatively low delay real time streaming. Therefore, for
AAC-ELD, the bitreservoir is limited. It varies between 500 and 4000 bits/frame,
depending on the bitrate/channel.
- For a bitrate of 12kbps/channel and below, the AAC-ELD bitreservoir is 500
bits/frame.
- For a bitrate of 70kbps/channel and above, the AAC-ELD bitreservoir is 4000
bits/frame.
- Between 12kbps/channel and 70kbps/channel, the AAC-ELD bitrervoir is increased
linearly.
- For AAC-LC, the bitrate is only limited by the maximum AAC frame length. It
is, regardless of the available bit reservoir, defined as 6144 bits per channel.

Over a longer period in time the bitrate will be constant in the AAC constant
bitrate mode, e.g. for ISDN transmission. This means that in AAC each bitstream
frame will in general have a different length in bytes but over time it
will reach the target bitrate.


One could also make an MPEG compliant
AAC encoder which always produces constant length packages for each AAC frame,
but the audio quality would be considerably worse since the bit reservoir
technique would have to be switched off completely. A higher bit rate would have
to be used to get the same audio quality as with an enabled bit reservoir.

For mp3 by the way, the same bit reservoir technique exists, but there each bit
stream frame has a constant length for a given bit rate (ignoring the
padding byte). In mp3 there is a so-called "back pointer" which tells
the decoder which bits belong to the current mp3 frame - and in general some or
many bits have been transmitted in an earlier mp3 frame. Basically this leads to
the same "bit exchange between mp3 frames" as in AAC but with virtually constant
length frames.

This variable frame length at "constant bit rate" is not something special
in this Fraunhofer IIS AAC encoder. AAC has been designed in that way.

\subsection BEHAVIOUR_ESTIM_AVG_FRAMESIZES Estimating Average Frame Sizes

A HE-AAC v1 or v2 audio frame contains 2048 PCM samples per channel.

The number of HE-AAC frames \f$N\_FRAMES\f$ per second at 44.1 kHz is:

\f[
N\_FRAMES = 44100 / 2048 = 21.5332
\f]

At a bit rate of 8 kbps the average number of bits per frame
\f$N\_BITS\_PER\_FRAME\f$ is:

\f[
N\_BITS\_PER\_FRAME = 8000 / 21.5332 = 371.52
\f]

which is about 46.44 bytes per encoded frame.

At a bit rate of 32 kbps, which is quite high for single channel HE-AAC v1, it
is:

\f[
N\_BITS\_PER\_FRAME = 32000 / 21.5332 = 1486
\f]

which is about 185.76 bytes per encoded frame.

These bits/frame figures are average figures where each AAC frame generally has
a different size in bytes. To calculate the same for AAC-LC just use 1024
instead of 2048 PCM samples per frame and channel. For AAC-LD/ELD it is either
480 or 512 PCM samples per frame and channel.


\section BEHAVIOUR_TOOLS Encoder Tools

The AAC encoder supports TNS, PNS, MS, Intensity and activates these tools
depending on the audio signal and the encoder configuration (i.e. bitrate or
AOT). It is not required to configure these tools manually.

PNS improves encoding quality only for certain bitrates. Therefore it makes
sense to activate PNS only for these bitrates and save the processing power
required for PNS (about 10 % of the encoder) when using other bitrates. This is
done automatically inside the encoder library. PNS is disabled inside the
encoder library if an MPEG-2 AOT is choosen since PNS is an MPEG-4 AAC feature.

If SBR is activated, the encoder automatically deactivates PNS internally. If
TNS is disabled but PNS is allowed, the encoder deactivates PNS calculation
internally.

                    For making sure that the listener always experiences the
                 best audio quality, explicit hierarchical signaling should be
                 used. This makes sure that only a full HE-AAC-capable decoder
                 will decode those streams. The audio is played at full
                 bandwidth. For best backwards compatibility, it is recommended
                 to encode with implicit SBR signaling. A decoder capable of
                 AAC-LC only will then only decode the AAC part, which means the
                 decoded audio will sound band-limited.

                    For MPEG-2 transport types (ADTS,ADIF), only implicit
                 signaling is possible.

                    For LOAS and LATM, explicit backwards compatible signaling
                 only works together with AudioMuxVersion==1. The reason is
                 that, for explicit backwards compatible signaling, additional
                 information will be appended to the ASC. A decoder that is only
                 capable of decoding AAC-LC will skip this part. Nevertheless,
                 for jumping to the end of the ASC, it needs to know the ASC
                 length. Transmitting the length of the ASC is a feature of
                 AudioMuxVersion==1, it is not possible to transmit the length
                 of the ASC with AudioMuxVersion==0, therefore an AAC-LC-only
                 decoder will not be able to parse a LOAS/LATM stream that was
                 being encoded with AudioMuxVersion==0.

                    For downsampled SBR, explicit signaling is mandatory. The
                 reason for this is that the extension sampling frequency (which
                 is in case of SBR the sampling frequqncy of the SBR part) can
                 only be signaled in explicit mode.

                    For AAC-ELD, the SBR information is transmitted in the
                 ELDSpecific Config, which is part of the AudioSpecificConfig.
                 Therefore, the settings here will have no effect on AAC-ELD.*/
