Subband Acoustic Echo Cancellation Using the FAP-RLS Algorithm: Fixedpoint Implementation Issues

  • Chapter
Acoustic Signal Processing for Telecommunication

Abstract

In this chapter, we investigate quantization effects in the fixed-point implementation of a subband AEC system based on a modified form of the FAP algorithm, referred to as FAP-RLS. The latter is similar in concept to the standard FAP, except for two modifications: use of sliding window RLS-type approach (instead of FRLS) to compute the normalized residual echo vector, for improved robustness in implementation; and simplified update of the residual echo vector. Subband decomposition is performed with modified uniform DFT filter banks, realized efficiently via the weighted overlap-add (WOA) technique for flexibility in oversampling. We characterize the main sources of errors in both the FAP-RLS and the DFT filter banks, and propose simple and effective solutions for stable operation of the subband AEC system. Our findings are supported experimentally.
