    摘要: A method and apparatus for identifying echo sources in a communication path. A system that incorporates teachings of the present disclosure may include, for example, an echo measurement device (EMD) having a transmit module to transmit an echo canceller deactivation signal in a communication path of the communication system, wherein the echo canceller deactivation signal deactivates one or more echo cancellers in said communication path. The transmit module can also transmit a test signal in the communication path which is looped back at an end point identified as having an echo problem, wherein the test signal is transmitted at a remote location from the end point. The EMD can further include a detection module to detect one or more echo signals associated with the test signal. Additional embodiments are disclosed.

    摘要: A method and apparatus for providing echo cancellation are disclosed. For example, the method receives via an echo canceller a first audio signal directed towards an endpoint device, and adds an inserted signal to the first audio signal directed towards the endpoint device. The method determines if a second audio signal being received from the endpoint device comprises the inserted signal, and cancels at least a portion of the second audio signal that is associated with the first audio signal, if the inserted signal is detected.

    摘要: A method and system for measuring the signal transmission time through a network link bounded by at least one echo canceller. The method generally includes the steps of determining a signal transmission time (tA) along a network path including the network link bounded by the echo canceller between a first endpoint and a second endpoint, transmitting a test signal from the first endpoint to the second endpoint through the network path, transmitting an echo signal which simulates the test signal from the second endpoint to the first endpoint through the network path, measuring a minimum time delay between transmission of the test signal and transmission of the echo signal which causes the echo canceller to cancel the echo signal and calculating the signal transmission time through the network link bounded by the echo canceller based on the measured minimum time delay and the determined network path signal transmission time (tA). Where the network link is bounded by two echo cancellers, the method further includes the steps of transmitting a second test signal from the second endpoint to the first endpoint through the network path, transmitting a second echo signal which simulates the second test signal from the first endpoint to the second endpoint through the network path, measuring a second minimum time delay between transmission of the second test signal and transmission of the second echo signal which causes the second echo canceller to cancel the second echo signal and calculating the delay through the network link bounded between the first and second echo cancellers based on both measured minimum time delays and the determined network path signal transmission time (tA).

    摘要: A system that incorporates teachings of the present disclosure may include, for example, an echo measurement device having a controller to transmit a test signal in a communication path which is looped back at an end point identified as having an echo problem.
