Abstract

A method of synthesizing an echo path in an echo canceller is provided. The method includes the steps of obtaining near end and far end signal samples at an echo canceller, locating the echo in a background task using a whitened version of the signal, transferring the echo location information to a foreground task, and eliminating the echo in the incoming signals by filtering the signal in the location passed to the foreground task by the background task.
