Methods and apparatus for adaptive signal gain control in communications systems

摘要

Adaptive gain control techniques provide correctly adjusted audio signal levels during the entirety of an Internet telephony conversation and are resilient to background noise and loudspeaker echo. Disclosed techniques can account for multiple near-end speakers, as well as changes in near-end environment. In an exemplary embodiment, an adaptive gain controller includes a gain control processor configured to adjust an analog gain for a microphone output signal based on measurements of the microphone output signal and on measurements of a loudspeaker input signal.
