Abstract

This letter proposes a complexity reduction method to speed up the noiseless decoding of a bit-sliced arithmetic coding (BSAC) decoder. This scheme fully utilizes the group of consecutive arithmetic-coded symbols known as the decoding band and the significance tree structure sorted in order of significance at every decoding band. With the same audio quality, the proposed method reduces the number of calculations that are performed during the noiseless decoding in BSAC to about 22% of the amount of calculations with the conventional full-search method.
