A method and an apparatus for echo cancellation in a digital data transmission system in which system the end of a transmission link to which sound returns as an echo is the far end and the end of the transmission link from which an echo is reflected back is the near end, and in which a speech coding method is used on the echo path at least for a far-end signal transmitted from the far end to the near end, the method comprising the following steps: the echo originating from the near end is estimated with an adaptive linear filter on the basis of the far-end signal, and the echo estimate is subtracted from the near-end signal transmitted from the near end to the far end, whereby the speech-encoded far-end signal is decoded in an echo canceller, and the echo originating from the near end is estimated on the basis of said decoded far-end signal. |
