Abstract

An echo canceller determines a dynamic threshold that depends on a non-linear error power estimate and also a linear error power estimate. A residual power estimate of a residual signal is compared to this dynamic threshold. The residual signal is attenuated in a non-linear processor if the residual estimate falls below the dynamic threshold.
