Abstract

A far-end modem transmits a "pilot tone" during the time that a near-end modem is training its echo canceler. Correspondingly, the near-end modem is modified to notch, or filter, out this pilot tone from the received signal. The filtered received signal is then used by the near-end modem to train its echo canceler.
