    Abstract: Frequency domain nonlinear processing techniques are applied in the context of echo suppression. According to exemplary embodiments, the filtering characteristic of a nonlinear processor is dynamically adjusted by comparing the power spectrum of a residual echo component of a communication signal with that of the overall communication signal itself. For example, the filtering characteristic can be adjusted so that the nonlinear processor blocks only those signal frequencies in which the residual echo is, in some sense, dominant. The disclosed techniques make full duplex communication possible during the entirety of a conversation, even while residual echo is being actively suppressed.

    Abstract: The present invention relates to echo suppression in a telephony system wherein a communication link is established over an analogue network and a digital network. The disclosed echo suppression invention provides cost-effective ways of minimizing an echo arising in the public switched telephone network (PSTN) by calculating a first value for the energy level of the signal from the analogue to the digital network, and likewise calculating a second value for the energy level of the signal from the digital to the analogue network. The sound from the analogue network to digital network is transmitted in dependence of the results of a comparison between the first and second values.
