The present invention relates to an arrangement and a method for echo cancellation wherein only telecommunications traffic (s6) of a downlink (3), for which echo cancellation is performed, passes through an echo canceller function (1'). Traffic (s5) of an uplink (2) is forwarded via a switch (15) to a near end (B) without passing through the echo canceller function (1'). A signal copy (s9) of traffic (s5) of the uplink is created by the switch (15) and directed to the echo canceller function (1') in order to serve as a base for an estimated echo signal (e'). The estimated echo signal (e') is subtracted from the traffic (s6) of the downlink, which is input to the echo canceller function (1'), so as to create an output signal (s8), which is substantially free from echo. The invention makes it possible to reduce the processing capacity required in connection with echo cancellation and provides for a decreased delay of traffic of the uplink (2). |
