| 20090257578 | Network Apparatus Capable of Canceling Far-End-Crosstalk and Network Signal Processing Method thereof - The present invention provides a network apparatus capable of canceling far-end crosstalk (FEXT). When the network apparatus is under a training mode, hard data is provided to a FEXT canceller for performing FEXT cancellation. When the network apparatus is under a data mode, soft data is provided to the FEXT canceller for performing FEXT cancellation as well. Therefore, FEXT is effectively canceled, and consumption power of the network apparatus is saved. | 10-15-2009 |
| 20090279685 | DETECTION OF DOUBLE TALK IN TELECOMMUNICATIONS NETWORKS - In one embodiment, the presence of double talk (DT) is detected in a telecommunications network having a near-end user and a far-end user. The energies of both (1) a signal received from the far-end user by the near-end user and (2) a signal to be communicated from the near-end user to the far-end user are computed. An echo return loss (ERL) estimate is calculated based on the energy calculations, and a preliminary decision is made as to whether DT is present based on the ERL estimate and the energy calculations. If DT is detected, then a counter is set to a hangover value. If DT is not detected, then the counter is reduced. This process is repeated, and, for each iteration, a final decision as to whether DT is present is made based on the counter value. | 11-12-2009 |
| 20090304177 | Acoustic Echo Canceller - Disclosed methods and systems measure acoustic responses to training signals activated prior to communication sessions. Profiles related to the acoustic responses are saved and adapted during communication sessions. Training signals may have uniform frequency distributions over a frequency range and may be in response to user inputs, timeouts, or predetermined events. In the next excessive divergence is detected, an adapted profile may be substituted by an original, trained profile. | 12-10-2009 |
| 20120057693 | Joint Signal Processing Across A Plurality Of Line Termination Cards - In one embodiment, the line termination card includes a data output terminal configured to output a data sequence. The card further includes a vectoring entity configured to parse and encode the data sequence into frequency samples according to a carrier loading parameter, configured to scale the frequency samples into scaled frequency samples according to a carrier scaling parameter, and, configured to process the scaled frequency samples for crosstalk compensation. A controller is configured to adjust the carrier loading parameter and the carrier scaling parameter, and a forwarder is coupled to the data output terminal and to the controller. The forwarder is configured to forward the data sequence, the carrier loading parameter and the carrier scaling parameter towards a further line termination card. | 03-08-2012 |
| 20120163580 | SOUND PROCESSING APPARATUS, METHOD, AND PROGRAM - A sound processing apparatus includes: a sound output unit which outputs sound based on a first sound signal as first sound processing when execution of the first sound processing is instructed; a sound collecting unit which generates an echo signal by collecting surrounding sound; a filtering unit which performs filtering process with an adaptive digital filter on the first sound signal and generates a pseudo echo signal; a subtracting unit which removes a sound component, which is output from the sound output unit and reaches the sound collecting unit, from the echo signal by subtracting the pseudo echo signal from the echo signal to generate a residual signal; an updating unit which updates the adaptive digital filter based on the residual signal and the first sound signal; and an update resolution control unit which controls the resolution at which the adaptive digital filter is updated by the updating unit. | 06-28-2012 |
| 20120170735 | COMMUNICATION APPARATUS FOR RAPIDLY ADJUSTING ANALOG ECHO CANCELLATION CIRCUIT AND RELATED ECHO CANCELLATION METHOD - A communication apparatus is disclosed including: an analog-front-end circuit for receiving and processing an analog input signal; an analog-to-digital converter (ADC) coupled with the analog-front-end circuit for converting processed signal from the analog-front-end circuit into a digital input signal; and a control unit coupled with the ADC for adjusting at least one resistance and/or at least one capacitance in an analog echo cancellation circuit according to the digital input signal before the analog-front-end circuit receives a training sequence that is the first training sequence transmitted from a second communication apparatus after the second communication apparatus begins communicating with the communication apparatus. | 07-05-2012 |
| 20120201370 | TIME-DOMAIN ACOUSTIC ECHO CONTROL - In one embodiment, an acoustic echo control (AEC) module receives an outgoing signal and an incoming signal, which, at various times, contains acoustic echo corresponding to the outgoing signal. The AEC module has a delay estimation block that estimates, in the time domain, the echo delay using an adaptive filtering technique. This delay estimation is used to align samples of the incoming signal having acoustic echo with the corresponding samples of the outgoing signal from which the acoustic echo originated. The AEC module determines whether or not samples of the incoming signal contain acoustic echo based on the aligned outgoing signal, and the determinations are applied to a hangover counter. The AEC module then suppresses acoustic echo in the incoming signal and adds comfort noise to the incoming signal. The amount of echo suppression performed is gradually increased or decreased based on comparisons of the counter to a hangover threshold. | 08-09-2012 |
