Bit Slice Arithmetic Coding (BSAC) slices the quantized spectrum into layers and each layer is arithmetic coded. BSAC can be used in audio coding for bit-rate scalability during the encoding or decoding process.
The concept of BSAC was standardized for MPEG-4 AAC by ISO/IEC 14496-3 subpart 4. The difference between MPEG-4 BSAC and the standard AAC is that the quantized values are arithmetically coded. A group of slices is called a layer and the layers can be decoded independently. Few layers are sufficient to be decoded to produce reasonably good quality audio. This gives QoS scalability and is very important in error-prone media like wireless. MPEG-4 BSAC is adopted by the Multimedia standard T-DMB.
