Packet Loss Concealment for Multichannel Audio Using the Multiband Source/Filter Model

We recently proposed a multichannel audio coding method using a multiband source/filter model, which results in a compact representation of the original recording. Our method can reproduce the original recording using only one audio channel and side information for the remaining channels in the order of 5 KBps/channel. Here, we examine packet loss concealment strategies for use within our model, so that we can derive a complete system for low-bitrate multichannel audio streaming through the Internet or wireless channels.
