System and Method for Performing Automatic Gain Control in Mobile Phone Environments

摘要

A Dynamic Noise Compensation (DNC) telephone speech enhancement algorithm addresses the issue of environment noise on the listener end of a telephone call. A single microphone proximal to the listener provides a sample of near end ambient noise level and of near end speech. A Voice Activity Detector (VAD) detects the presence of near end (listener) speech. The DNC algorithm adjusts the far end incoming speech level based on the near end ambient noise and the VAD ensures that the near end listener speech does not effect the incoming speech level adjustment.
