S. Voran, "Perception-Based Bit-Allocation Algorithms for Audio Coding," Proceedings of the 1997 Workshop on Applications of Signal Processing to Audio and Acoustics, Mohonk Mountain House, New Platz, New York, October 1997.

Abstract:
We describe six algorithms for bit allocation in audio coding. Each algorithm stems from the minimization of a different perceptually-motivated objective function. Three of these objective functions are extensions of existing ones, and three are new. Closed-form bit-allocation equations result in five cases, and an iterative approach is required in the sixth.
