Abstract

Techniques for acoustic voice activity detection (AVAD) is described, including detecting a signal associated with a subband from a microphone, performing an operation on data associated with the signal, the operation generating a value associated with the subband, and determining whether the value distinguishes the signal from noise by using the value to determine a signal-to-noise ratio and comparing the value to a threshold.
