Abstract

An acoustic echo cancellation (AEC) system that detects and compensates for differences in sample rates between the AEC system and a set of wireless speakers based on a search-based trial-and-error technique. The system individually determines a frequency offset for each microphone-speaker pair using an iterative process, determining an echo-return loss enhancement (ERLE) value for each offset that is tried, and selecting the frequency offset associated with the largest ERLE value.
