Abstract: A harmonic echo power estimator estimates power of echo generated by harmonic loudspeaker nonlinearities in a user equipment having an echo path between a loudspeaker input and a microphone output. The estimator includes a frequency band mapper that maps each frequency band in a set of loudspeaker output signal frequency bands into a corresponding array of loudspeaker input signal frequency bands, where each frequency band in the set is mapped into several frequency bands in the corresponding array. A power estimator determines a power estimate of each input signal in each array of frequency bands. A power estimate combiner combines determined power estimates in each array of frequency bands into a corresponding estimate of loudspeaker input power generating harmonic loudspeaker nonlinearities. A power estimate transformer transforms the estimates of loudspeaker input power across the echo path into power estimates of the echo generated by the harmonic loudspeaker nonlinearities.

Abstract: A method for suppressing noise of a first signal captured via a primary microphone is provided. A primary and a reference microphone are arranged on a communication device to capture noise and intermittent speech. A determination is made whether the first signal comprises non-stationary signal components or substantially stationary noise, and whether the first signal comprises substantially far-field noise in case it was determined that it comprises non-stationary signal components. A noise power spectrum estimate of the first signal is updated with a stationary noise power spectrum estimate if the first signal is considered to comprise substantially stationary noise or a far-field noise power spectrum estimate if the first signal is considered to comprise substantially far-field noise. A frequency response is computed on the basis of the estimated noise power spectrum. Noise from the first signal is suppressed by applying the frequency response on the first signal.
