In this paper, a robust nonlinear echo cancellation is proposed, where a third-order adaptive Volterra filtering is employed along with an expanded correlation LMS (ECLMS) algorithm to compensate for nonlinear distortion in the echo path. (e.g., DAC of the hybrid network). Finally, the robustness in the echo cancellation of the proposed approach is demonstrated using computer simulations, where high attenuation of echo signals is achieved even in the double-talk situation (e.n., BdB improvement in ERLE).

In this paper, an efficient nonlinear echo cancellation method is proposed, whereby the fast block exact Gauss-Seidel pseudo affine projection (FBEGS-PAP) is further utilized for adaptive Volterra filtering. In particular, the proposed nonlinear echo cancellation approach requires lower computational complexity as in the conventional linear adaptive echo cancellation methods based on NLMS and GS-PAP, and still provides nonlinear echo cancellation performance similar to the GS-PAP method. Finally, echo cancellation performance of the proposed approach is demonstrated by providing some simulation results.

In this paper, nonlinear echo cancellation using a correlation LMS (CLMS) algorithm is proposed to cancel the undesired nonlinear echo signals generated in the hybrid system of the telephone network. In the telephone network, the echo signals may result the degradation of the network performance. Furthermore, digital to analog converter (DAC) and analog to digital converter (ADC) may be the source of the nonlinear distortion in the hybrid system. The adaptive filtering technique based on the nonlinear Volterra filter has been the general technique to cancel such a nonlinear echo signals in the telephone network. But in the presence of the double-talk situation, the error signal for tap adaptations will be greatly larger, and the near-end signal can cause any fluctuation of tap coefficients, and they may diverge greatly. To solve a such problem, the correlation LMS (CLMS) algorithm can be applied as the nonlinear adaptive echo cancellation algorithm. The CLMS algorithm utilizes the fact that the far-end signal is not correlated with a near-end signal. Accordingly, the residual error for the tap adaptation is relatively small, when compared to that of the conventional normalized LMS algorithm. To demonstrate the performance of the proposed algorithm, the DAC of hybrid system of the telephone network is considered. The simulation results show that the proposed algorithm can cancel the nonlinear echo signals effectively and show robustness under the double-talk situations.

In this paper, a nonlinear echo cancellation approach, based on a Gauss-Seidel pseudo affine projection algorithm and Volterra filtering, is proposed to compensate for echo path nonlinearity in the telephone network. Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed approach yields reduction of computational complexity and improved convergence speed than the conventional nonlinear echo cancellation methods (NLMS, ECLMS, FAP, RLS).

An efficient echo cancellation method, which controls the echo caused from the PSTN, is proposed. In our situation, the PSTN is connected to the mobile subscriber and the base-station which use different bit-rate CVSD(continuously variable slope delta modulation) coders and echo canceller is installed at the location of the base-station. By using the symmetry of the coder pairs. the proposed method shortens the echo pate length and reduces the nonlinear distortion inherent in the coders. And it is implemented in the decoded signal region, so fitted to the general-purpose DSP implementation. We also proposed a echo cancellation method using the combined bit-stream so as to implement without the multipliers onto the VLSI. It has an improved echo cancellation performance by reducing the high frequency noises in the coders. And it has an reduced complexity by reducing the excitation rate of the bit-stream.

This paper proposes a architecture of the nonlinear echo canceller for the full-duplex transmission, which is easy to implement. The architecture is designed to cancel the nonlinear echo signals due to the hybrid or the data converter, as well as the linear echo signals, by adding a small number of taps to the FIR structure for the linear echo cancellation. The number of tap to be add depends on how much the linear echo signals are cancelled. A computer program for this architecture was written and run. Numerical results of the computer simulations show good performances on cancellations of the nonlinear echo signals by adding a small number of taps.

This paper proposes a robust nonlinear acoustic echo canceller (NAEC) which is effective for modeling the nonlinearity of a speaker module and the long acoustic echo path within a speech communication environment. The proposed NAEC utilizes a sigmoid pre-processor for modeling the speaker nonlinearity and a partitioned block frequnecy-domain adaptive filter for identifying the acoustic echo path with small delay. Simulation results confirmed that the proposed algorithm achieves excellent performance with much lower computational complexity than the previous NAEC.
