Lossless and near lossless scalable audio codec

TLDR
In this paper, a scalable audio codec uses perceptual transform coding to encode the base layer and the residual is calculated in a transform domain, which includes a frequency and possibly also multi-channel transform of the input audio.
Abstract
A scalable audio codec encodes an input audio signal as a base layer at a high compression ratio and one or more residual signals as an enhancement layer of a compressed bitstream, which permits a lossless or near lossless reconstruction of the input audio signal at decoding. The scalable audio codec uses perceptual transform coding to encode the base layer. The residual is calculated in a transform domain, which includes a frequency and possibly also multi-channel transform of the input audio. For lossless reconstruction, the frequency and multi-channel transforms are reversible.

Scalable audio in a multi-point environment

TL;DR: In this paper, a scalable audio codec is proposed to implement distributed mixing and/or sender bit rate regulation in a multipoint conference, which allows the audio signal from each endpoint to be split into one or more frequency bands and for the transform coefficients within such bands to be prioritized such that usable audio may be decoded from a subset of the entire signal.
