Complexity Reduction Techniques for DSP-based Multi-Channel Echo Canceller Systems

Overview This paper describes the use of two techniques to reduce the complexity of a Multi-Channel Echo Canceller (MCEC) system. First, the MCEC system complexity can be reduced by efficient utilization of DSP architectural features to achieve an increased number channels per DSP. The second technique relies on the fact that the adaptation procedures for the filter coefficients are suspended based on the speech activity factor. We present a method to estimate the reduction in complexity for a typical MCEC system based on the above model. Small performance degradation of fixed complexity systems dependent on speech statistics is analyzed and estimated. Finally, we submit results for performance of such systems based on simulations.

Peter Cochrane's Uncommon Sense: Science and belief

In an ideal world experimenters should be free of bias in their selection of technique, measurement and subject. As a student I had the good fortune to have professors who insisted I solved problems using at least three different techniques...

Devil's Advocate: Christmas letters

Although we now have a whole host of technologies devoted to the storage and transmission of speech, much of the time we still talk to people face to face. Just because we now take it for granted, we tend to suppose that writing is easy and almost...

Peter Cochrane's Uncommon Sense: Wireless everything

The electronics to operate in 'cocktail party' mode and filter out the desired signal by using the equivalent of a wireless sieve at the receiver are now available. We can create complex digital signals that occupy a broad swath of frequency space...

The Bloor Perspective: Voice over Palm, outsourcing in finance and DRM trailblazers

Fast wireless networks introduce another idea: remote speech recognition. That's maybe not today but maybe very soon - one company already supplies a wireless VoIP speech recognition application for hospitals.

Peter Cochrane's Uncommon Sense: Logistics on the move

The best estimate that I can derive sees about 47 per cent of the GDP of the entire planet wasted in transaction costs that include the logistics of moving atoms from one place to another. At a modest estimate we should be able to reduce such...

Live Webcast: Telecoms 2.0 - Where is telecoms heading?

In this webcast, our panel of experts will review where we are with next generation telecoms in the UK, working through the concept of 'Telecoms 2.0': - Realising the potential of Next Generation Networks - why it isn't just about the technology? - What attributes should firms be looking for in their telco partner? - Is the relationship between telco provider and customer changing? - What things need to happen to make next generation services a reality? - You say you want the supplier to change. Do you want to change too? - What is Telecoms 2.0?

Telecom 2.0: Mind over matter

ntl:Telewest Business believes that the role of the telco is evolving. Gone are the days when it was enough to simply focus on circuits and minutes, customers now need a far higher degree of interaction and look for suppliers who will talk business solutions with them.
