Abstract

PURPOSE:To operate an echo eliminating device even when the power of an echo component is increased by obtaining a correlation coefficient between the 4-wire input and the 4-wire output of a 2-wire/4-wire converter, comparing the coefficient with a predetermined threshold level and deciding whether or not the mode is in the bidirectional calling state. CONSTITUTION:A correlation coefficient calculation circuit 2 is connected to the 4-wire side of the 2-wire/4-wire converter 1, the correlation coefficient between a 4-wire transmission signal and a 4-wire reception signal is obtained and outputted to a comparator 3. The comparator 3 compares the received correlation coefficient with a predetermined threshold level to decide whether or not the mode is the bidirectional calling state and when the bidirectional calling state is decided it is informed to an echo canceller 4. Then the notice of the bidirectional calling state is received, the echo canceller 4 stops the adaptive control of an adaptive filter 5, outputs an echo estimating value as a fixed filter and a subtraction circuit 6 subtracts the echo estimating value as the fixed filter from a 4-wire reception signal.

The conventional two-way communication state detection method described above uses a method of calculating the power ratio between the 4-wire side input signal and the 4-wire side output signal of the 2-wire/4-wire converter. In order to
Most of the communication signals must be on the two-line side. However, in an actual line, the power of the echo component changes greatly depending on the line condition on the two-line side, so it is difficult to predetermine an appropriate threshold for determining whether or not a two-way communication is in progress. There is a problem in that it is necessary to judge that the majority of output signals on the 4-wire side that exceed a certain value are speech signals on the 2-wire side, and to regulate the operation of the echo removing device.

When the 4-wire side transmission signal is strong and the 4-wire side reception signal is weak,
Since the correlation coefficient output from the correlation coefficient calculation circuit 2 is close to "1", the comparison circuit 3 that receives this output compares it with a predetermined threshold and determines that there is no two-way communication state. ,
The echo canceller 4 is notified of this fact. When the echo canceller 4 receives the notification that the two-way conversation is not in progress, it inputs the 4-wire side transmission signal and the 4-wire side reception signal to the adaptive filter 5, outputs the estimated echo value, and sends the signal to the subtraction circuit 6. input and subtract the estimated echo value from the 4-wire side received signal.

Therefore, if the estimated echo value is output as it is, there is a possibility that it will output an incorrect value, so the comparison circuit 3 that receives the output of the correlation coefficient close to "0" has a predetermined threshold value. By comparison, it is determined that a two-way conversation is in progress, and this is notified to the echo canceller 4. When the echo canceller 4 receives the notification that the two-way communication is in progress, it stops the adaptive control of the adaptive filter 5, outputs the estimated echo value as a fixed filter, and uses the subtraction circuit 6 to extract the estimated value from the received signal on the 4-wire side.
