20230051021 · 2023-02-16 ·

An AEC system can implement different updating techniques for echo cancellation. A Block Maximum Likelihood updating technique updates filter coefficients typically at integer multiples of a block size. A Proportional-Incremental Maximum Likelihood updating technique applies proportional weighting to the updates of filter coefficients. A Multi-source Incremental Maximum Likelihood updating technique uses separate control parameters associated with each of multiple loudspeakers. Combinations of these may be used, and one or more of these can be selected and implemented in real-time.
