A Robust and Adaptive Line Echo Canceller

In the actual communication system, the line echo is a frequent problem, so the line echo canceller is necessary. Traditionally, the cancellers are designed according to line noises based on the Gaussian noise model. However, the noises do not obey the Gaussian distribution; therefore the performances of algorithms decrease, even cannot be used. In order to solve this problem, this paper proposes a line echo canceller based on alpha stable distribution model. The Method in this line echo canceller has Robust and Adaptive. Alpha stable distribution modeling impulse noise, and under the rule of minimum average p norm, adaptive time delay estimator offsets the echo. This method can not only effectively offset the line echo with the Gaussian noise, but also to have the effect of good to echo with impulse noise. Theoretical analysis and computer simulation experiments show that it is very kind of the line echo canceller. It is robust to impulse noises and adaptive to echo cancellation.
