Abstract: A method and apparatus e.g. a headset or a base station for controlling channel selection in a communications system (400) using a DECT communications protocol, wherein multiple predefined channels are established using multiple carrier signals at respective carrier frequencies (F1, F2, . . . F8); comprising: transmitting (205) a first signal (S1) on multiple of the channels using automatic channel selection; transmitting a first signal and a second signal on multiple of the channels using automatic channel selection; setting a power level of carrier signals in a first group of channels to a first power level and setting a power level of carrier signals in a second group of channels to a second power level; wherein the second power level is preferably/deliberately set to a predetermined power level higher than the first power level.

Abstract: A method for attenuating undesired content in an audio signal and to an apparatus adapted to attenuate undesired content in an audio signal. The method has receiving an audio input signal (Si); providing a main audio signal (Sa) in dependence on the audio input signal (Si); determining an input level signal (Ln) indicating a signal level (Ln,i) of the main audio signal (Sa); applying a frequency-dependent gain to the main audio signal (Sa) to provide an audio output signal (So); providing an analysis signal (Sn) in dependence on the audio input signal (Si); determining a classification signal (Sc) indicating the presence in the analysis signal (Sn) determining a threshold control signal (St) indicating a frequency-dependent level threshold (72, 75, 76, Tf) for multiple frequency subbands; and determining the frequency-dependent gain in dependence on signal levels (Ln,i).

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for attenuating undesired content in an audio signal and to an apparatus adapted to attenuate undesired content in an audio signal. The invention may be used to reduce adverse effects on a user caused by undesired or potentially harmful audio signals received from an audio communication network, such as e.g. a telephone network, and may advantageously be implemented in headsets and other audio communication apparatus that can receive audio signals from an audio communication network and provide corresponding sound signals to one or more users. The present invention provides a method for attenuating undesired content in an audio signal.

Abstract: A device and method processing microphone signals from at least two microphones is presented. A first beamformer processes the signals from the microphones and provides a first beamformed signal. A power estimator processes the signals from the microphones and the first beamformed signal from the first beamformer in order to generate, in frequency bands, a first statistical estimate of the energy of a first part of an incident sound field. A gain controller processes said first statistical estimate in order to generate in frequency bands a first gain signal, and an audio processor for processing an input to the signal processing device in dependence of said generated first gain signal. The invention provides a new and improved noise reduction device and noise reduction method for use in the signal processing in devices processing acoustic signals, e.g. microphone devices.
