Echo canceller adaptive step size and method therefor

摘要

The step sizes for tap positions of an adaptive filter (124) in an echo canceller (125) for canceling an echo signal are individually selected based upon a profile of the echo environment. A training signal (112) is injected into the echo canceller and to the echo path during a training interval, or period. The adaptive filter profiles the echo path during the training interval. Respective step sizes alpha[k] for the tap positions are generated as a function of the echo profile so generated.
