Traditional adaptation algorithms for acoustic echo cancellers are sufficiently robust to give satisfying performance even in the presence of nonlinear distortions, e.g. those induced by low-cost audio equipment in speech communication products for the consumer market. However, the performance of echo compensation can be improved if special measures are taken to acount for nonlinear behaviour in the...
We present a new error concealment technique for audio transmission over packet networks with high packet loss rate. Unlike other techniques it modifies the time-scale of correctly received packets instead of repeating them. This is done by a time-domain algorithm, WSOLA, whose parameters are redefined so that short audio segments like lost packets can be extended. Particular attention is paid to...
Low-cost audio components in hands-free telephone applications call for nonlinear adaptive echo cancellation. It has been demonstrated that a cascade of a polynomial and an FIR filter can cancel echoes due to nonlinearities of typical low-cost applications [1]. Overcoming the slow convergence of an NLMS-based adaptation [5], we derive an RLS-type adaptation for the polynomial preprocessor. Furthermore,...
Acoustic echo cancellers (AECs) in today's hands-free telephones rely on the assumption of a linear echo path. However, low-cost audio equipment or constraints of portable communication systems cause nonlinear distortions in the loudspeaker and its amplifier, which limit the echo reduction of linear AECs. Such an echo path can be modelled by a memoryless nonlinear function preceding the linear FIR...
