This is adapted to match the +echo impulse response of the telephone line. It must be long enough to +adequately cover the duration of that impulse response. The signal transmitted +to the telephone line is passed through the FIR filter. Once the FIR is +properly adapted, the resulting output is an estimate of the echo signal +received from the line. This is subtracted from the received signal. The result +is an estimate of the signal which originated at the far end of the line, free +from echos of our own transmitted signal. + +The least mean squares (LMS) algorithm is attributed to Widrow and Hoff, and +was introduced in 1960. It is the commonest form of filter adaption used in +things like modem line equalisers and line echo cancellers. There it works very +well. However, it only works well for signals of constant amplitude. It works +very poorly for things like speech echo cancellation, where the signal level +varies widely. This is quite easy to fix. If the signal level is normalised - +similar to applying AGC - LMS can work as well for a signal of varying +amplitude as it does for a modem signal. This normalised least mean squares +(NLMS) algorithm is the commonest one used for speech echo cancellation. Many +other algorithms exist - e.g. RLS (essentially the same as Kalman filtering), +FAP, etc. Some perform significantly better than NLMS. However, factors such +as computational complexity and patents favour the use of NLMS. + +A simple refinement to NLMS can improve its performance with speech. NLMS tends +to adapt best to the strongest parts of a signal. If the signal is white noise, +the NLMS algorithm works very well. However, speech has more low frequency than +high frequency content. Pre-whitening (i.e. filtering the signal to flatten its +spectrum) the echo signal improves the adapt rate for speech, and ensures the +final residual signal is not heavily biased towards high frequencies. A very +low complexity filter is adequate for this, so pre-whitening adds little to the +compute requirements of the echo canceller. + +An FIR filter adapted using pre-whitened NLMS performs well, provided certain +conditions are met: + + - The transmitted signal has poor self-correlation. + - There is no signal being generated within the environment being + cancelled. + +The difficulty is that neither of these can be guaranteed. + +If the adaption is performed while transmitting noise (or something fairly +noise like, such as voice) the adaption works very well. If the adaption is +performed while transmitting something highly correlative (typically narrow +band energy such as signalling tones or DTMF), the adaption can go seriously +wrong. The reason is there is only one solution for the adaption on a near +random signal - the impulse response of the line. For a repetitive signal, +there are any number of solutions which converge the adaption, and nothing +guides the adaption to choose the generalised one. Allowing an untrained +canceller to converge on this kind of narrowband energy probably a good thing, +since at least it cancels the tones. Allowing a well converged canceller to +continue converging on such energy is just a way to ruin its generalised +adaption. A narrowband detector is needed, so adapation can be suspended at +appropriate times. + +The adaption process is based on trying to eliminate the received signal. When +there is any signal from within the environment being cancelled it may upset +the adaption process. Similarly, if the signal we are transmitting is small, +noise may dominate and disturb the adaption process. If we can ensure that the +adaption is only performed when we are transmitting a significant signal level, +and the environment is not, things will be OK. Clearly, it is easy to tell when +we are sending a significant signal. Telling, if the environment is generating +a significant signal, and doing it with sufficient speed that the adaption will +not have diverged too much more we stop it, is a little harder. + +The key problem in detecting when the environment is sourcing significant +energy is that we must do this very quickly. Given a reasonably long sample of +the received signal, there are a number of strategies which may be used to +assess whether that signal contains a strong far end component. However, by the +time that assessment is complete the far end signal will have already caused +major mis-convergence in the adaption process. An assessment algorithm is +needed which produces a fairly accurate result from a very short burst of far +end energy. + +How do I use it? + +The echo cancellor processes both the transmit and receive streams sample by +sample. The processing function is not declared inline. Unfortunately, +cancellation requires many operations per sample, so the call overhead is only +a minor burden. +*/ + +#include "fir.h" +#include "oslec.h" + +/* + G.168 echo canceller descriptor.
