 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

\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, Krämer, 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 at
aacenc_lib.h.

In binary releases the encoder core resides in statically linkable libraries called for example
libAACenc.a/libFDK.a (LINUX) or FDK_fastaaclib.lib (MS Visual C++) for the plain AAC-LC core encoder
and libSBRenc.a (LINUX) or FDK_sbrEncLib.lib (MS Visual C++) for the SBR (Spectral Band
Replication) and PS (Parametric Stereo) modules.

\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 in
main.cpp uses file-based input/output.

-# Call aacEncOpen() to allocate encoder instance with required \ref encOpen "configuration".\n
\dontinclude main.cpp
\skipline hAacEncoder =
\skipline aacEncOpen
-# 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.
\skipline aacEncEncode
-# Call aacEncInfo() to retrieve a configuration data block to be transmitted out of band. This is required when using RFC3640 or RFC3016 like transport.
\dontinclude main.cpp
\skipline encInfo
\skipline aacEncInfo
-# Encode input audio data in loop.
\skip Encode as long as
\skipline do
\until {
Feed \ref feedInBuf "input buffer" with new audio data and provide input/output \ref bufDes "arguments" to aacEncEncode().
\skipline aacEncEncode
\until ;
Write \ref writeOutData "output data" to file or audio device. \skipline while
-# Call aacEncClose() and destroy encoder instance.
\skipline aacEncClose

\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().
\dontinclude main.cpp
\skipline inputBuffer
\until outputBuffer
All input and output buffer must be clustered in input and output buffer arrays.
\skipline inBuffer
\until outBufferElSize
Allocate buffer descriptors
\skipline AACENC_BufDesc
\skipline AACENC_BufDesc
Initialize input buffer descriptor
\skipline inBufDesc
\until bufElSizes
Initialize output buffer descriptor
\skipline outBufDesc
\until bufElSizes

\subsection argLists Provide Input/Output Argument Lists
The input and output arguments of an aacEncEncode() call are described in argument structures.
\dontinclude main.cpp
\skipline AACENC_InArgs
\skipline AACENC_OutArgs

\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).

\dontinclude main.cpp
\skipline WAV_InputRead
\until ;
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:
\skipline outargs.numInSamples>0
\until }

\section writeOutData Output Bitstream Data
If any AAC bitstream data is available, write it to output file or device. This can be done once the
following condition is true:
\dontinclude main.cpp
\skip Valid bitstream available
\skipline outargs

\skipline outBytes>0

If you use file I/O then for example call mpegFileWrite_Write() from the library libMpegFileWrite

\dontinclude main.cpp
\skipline mpegFileWrite_Write

\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, 0-2); \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.
\dontinclude main.cpp
\skip CHANNEL_MODE chMode = MODE_INVALID;
\until return

\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, 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 explicitely.

Based on sampling rate and chosen bitrate per channel a reasonable SBR configuration will be used.
\verbatim
------------------------------------------------------------

\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 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
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 ChannelMode           | ChCfg  | front_El      | side_El  | back_El  | lfe_El
-----------------------+--------+---------------+----------+----------+--------

 - SCE: Low Frequency Element.
\endverbatim

Moreover, the Table describes all fixed Channel Elements for each Channel Mode which are assigned to a speaker arrangement. The
arrangement includes front, side, back and lfe Audio Channel Elements.\n
This mapping of Audio Channel Elements is defined in MPEG standard for Channel Config 1-7. The Channel assignment for MODE_1_1,
MODE_2_2 and MODE_2_1 is used from the ARIB standard. All other configurations are defined as suggested in MPEG.\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 mapping. The Channel Mapping
of the audio data depends on the selected ::AACENC_CHANNELORDER which can be MPEG or WAV like order.\n
Following Table describes the complete channel mapping for both Channel Order configurations.

The denoted mapping is important for correct audio channel assignment when using MPEG or WAV ordering. The incoming audio
channels are distributed MPEG like starting at the front channels and ending at the back channels. The distribution is used as
described in Table concering Channel Config and fix channel elements. Please see the following example for clarification.

\verbatim

\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.

\section reommendedConfig Recommended Sampling Rate and Bitrate Combinations

\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 numerious listening
tests and careful tweaks to ensure the best overall encoding quality.

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 two-sided
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.
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.

The maximum AAC frame length, regardless of the available bit reservoir, is defined
as 6144 bits per channel.

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 (there is
also one mode with 1920 samples per channel but this is only for special purposes
such as DAB+ digital radio).

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.*/
