3-ANNEX D (informative) PSYCHOACOUSTIC MODELS 3-D.1. Psychoacoustic Model I The calculation of the psychoacoustic model has to be adapted to the corresponding layer. This example is valid for Layers I and II. The model can be adapted to LayerIII. There is no principal difference in the application of psychoacoustic model 1 to Layer I or II. Layer I: A new bit allocation is calculated for each block of 12 subband or 384 input PCM samples. Layer II: A new bit allocation is calculated for three blocks totaling 36 subband samples corresponding to 3*384 (1152) input PCM samples. The bit allocation of the 32 subbands is calculated on the basis of the signal-to-mask ratios of all the subbands. Therefore it is necessary to determine, for each subband the maximum signal level and the minimum masking threshold. The minimum masking threshold is derived from an FFT of the input PCM signal, followed by a psychoacoustic model calculation. The FFT in parallel with the subband filter compensates for the lack of spectral selectivity obtained at low frequencies by the subband filterbank. This technique provides both a sufficient time resolution for the coded audio signal (Polyphase filter with optimized window for minimal pre-echoes) and a sufficient spectral resolution for the calculation of the masking thresholds. The frequencies and levels of aliasing distortions can be calculated. This is necessary for calculating a minimum bit rate for those subbands which need some bits to cancel the aliasing components in the decoder. The additional complexity to calculate the better frequency resolution is necessary only in the encoder, and introduces no additional delay or complexity in the decoder. The calculation of the signal-to-mask-ratio is based on the following steps: Step 1 - Calculation of the FFT for time to frequency conversion. Step 2 - Determination of the sound pressure level in each subband. Step 3 - Determination of the threshold in quiet (absolute threshold). Step 4 - Fin
