Techniques for suppressing large echo due to nonlinearity, instable adaptive filter, and so on. An echo cancellation system includes an echo canceller unit, a nonlinear echo detection unit, and a nonlinear echo suppression unit. The echo canceller unit (e.g., an adaptive filter) receives a reference signal and a near-end signal, derives an echo estimate signal based on the reference and near-end signals, cancels a portion of echo in the near-end signal based on the echo estimate signal, and provides an intermediate signal having residual echo. The nonlinear echo detection unit detects for large nonlinear echo in the echo estimate signal. The nonlinear echo suppression unit suppresses large nonlinear echo in the first intermediate signal based on a variable gain, which may be adjusted lower if large nonlinear echo is detected and higher otherwise.

An echo detector correlates between an incoming signal an echo signal to determine echo delay. A preprocesssor extracts a characteristic pattern such as a binary pattern derived by thresholding an averaged power of each signal. This pattern is down sampled then used for the correlation, and delay is deduced from peaks in the correlation. Advantages include reduced computational load, or larger correlation window size, because the characteristic pattern is easier to correlate. The quantising can enhance the correlation peaks, and the averaging can limit the number of transitions, to give more robustness to noise. An echo canceller has a coarse echo delay estimator and a fine echo delay estimator. The coarse estimated delay is used to adjust a delay detection range of a fine delay detector having a narrow range. The output of the fine detector is used to adjust or suppress the adaptive echo canceller.

The invention relates to the field of voice communication, and discloses a residual echo detection method and apparatus. In the invention, according to a voice spectrum statistical characteristic, within a frequency range with a voice signal-to-noise ratio, an average coherent coefficient of several frequency ranges is utilized to replace a conventional full-frequency range average coherent coefficient as a residual echo detection statistical amount. Since in a frequency range with quite low voice energy, the voice signal-to-noise ratio is quite low, a coherent coefficient is greatly influenced by noise; however, in a frequency range with quite high voice energy, the voice signal-to-noise ratio is quite high, and the coherent coefficient is less influenced by the noise. Therefore, the interference resistance of the full-frequency range average coherent coefficient is lower than the frequency range with the quite high voice energy, so that in actual application, the detection method of a selected frequency range can be provided with a quite high interference resistance capability. At the same time, since the calculation of the full-frequency range average coherent coefficient is unnecessary, the complexity of the detection method is greatly reduced.
