摘要： The quality and robustness of audio echo cancellation is enhanced by selectively applying glitch recovery processes based on a quality measurement of the relative offset between capture and render audio streams. For example, large and small glitch detection is enabled for low relative offset variance; large glitch detection is enabled in a medium range of relative offset variance; and neither enabled at high variance. Further, a fast glitch recovery process suspends updating the adaptive filter coefficients of the audio echo cancellation while buffers are re-aligned to recover from the glitch, so as to avoid resetting the adaptive filter. When clock drift exists between capture and render audio streams, a multi-step compensation method is applied to improve AEC output quality in case the drifting rate is low; and a resampler is used to compensate the drift in case the drifting rate is high. An anti-clipping process detects clipping of the signals, and also suspends adaptive filter updating during clipping.

摘要： A communications device is presented for providing bi-directional audio communications between a near-end user and a far-end user via a bidirectional communications channel. The communications device includes an adaptive echo canceller receiving a near-end audio signal and a far-end audio signal and providing an echo-canceled near-end audio signal for transmission to the far-end user via the communications channel. The adaptive echo canceller includes a first bank of analysis filters for filtering the near-end audio signal, a second bank of analysis filters for filtering the far-end audio signal, and a bank of synthesis filters for filtering sub-band echo-canceled signals generated within the adaptive echo canceller. The first and second filter banks have a frequency response optimized to reduce echo residual gain.

摘要： A communication end device of a two-way communication system is shown. The device includes an audio signal capture device for capturing local audio to be transmitted to another end device, an audio signal rendering device for playing remote audio received from the other end device, and buffers for buffering the captured and rendered audio signals. The device also includes an audio echo canceller operating to predict echo from the rendered audio signal at a calculated relative offset in the captured audio signal based on an adaptive filter, and subtract the predicted echo from the signal transmitted to the other end device The calculated relative offset that is used by the audio echo canceller for a current signal sample is adjusted if a difference between it and an adjusted relative offset of a preceding sample exceeds a threshold value.

摘要： A voice communication end device performs quality checks to determine whether acoustic echo cancellation would be ineffective, such as due to noise or clock drift or discontinuities between incoming and outgoing voice channels. In the case where echo cancellation would prove ineffective, the device falls back on a tri-state voice switching operation that includes a bi-direction state in which both channels are on in full duplex operation, which provides a smoother transition switching between active channels. The tri-state voice switching supports both voluntary transitions where the active user voluntarily stops to yield the active channel, and forced transitions where the active user is forcedly interrupted by the other user speaking more loudly.
