PARAMETER DECODING APPARATUS AND PARAMETER DECODING METHOD

A parameter decoding apparatus includes a prediction residue decoder that finds a quantized prediction residue based on encoded information included in a current frame subject to decoding and an auto-regressive predictor produces a predicted parameter by multiplying a predictive coefficient with a past decoded parameter. An adder decodes a parameter by adding the quantized prediction residue and the predicted parameter, wherein the prediction residue decoder, when the current frame is erased, finds a current-frame quantized prediction residue from a weighted linear sum of a parameter decoded in the past and a future-frame quantized prediction residue.
