/* Implementation Notes
David Rowe
April 2007
This code started life as Steve's NLMS algorithm with a tap
rotation algorithm to handle divergence during double talk. I
added a Geigel Double Talk Detector (DTD) [2] and performed some
G168 tests. However I had trouble meeting the G168 requirements,
especially for double talk - there were always cases where my DTD
failed, for example where near end speech was under the 6dB
threshold required for declaring double talk.
So I tried a two path algorithm [1], which has so far given better
results. The original tap rotation/Geigel algorithm is available
in SVN http://svn.rowetel.com/software/oslec/tags/before_16bit.
It's probably possible to make it work if some one wants to put some
serious work into it.
At present no special treatment is provided for tones, which
generally cause NLMS algorithms to diverge. Initial runs of a
subset of the G168 tests for tones (e.g ./echo_test 6) show the
current algorithm is passing OK, which is kind of surprising. The
full set of tests needs to be performed to confirm this result.
One other interesting change is that I have managed to get the NLMS
code to work with 16 bit coefficients, rather than the original 32
bit coefficents. This reduces the MIPs and storage required.
I evaulated the 16 bit port using g168_tests.sh and listening tests
on 4 real-world samples.
I also attempted the implementation of a block based NLMS update
[2] but although this passes g168_tests.sh it didn't converge well
on the real-world samples. I have no idea why, perhaps a scaling
problem. The block based code is also available in SVN
http://svn.rowetel.com/software/oslec/tags/before_16bit. If this
code can be debugged, it will lead to further reduction in MIPS, as
the block update code maps nicely onto DSP instruction sets (it's a
dot product) compared to the current sample-by-sample update.
Steve also has some nice notes on echo cancellers in echo.h

IDEAS for further optimisation of lms_adapt_bg():
1/ The rounding is quite costly. Could we keep as 32 bit coeffs
then make filter pluck the MS 16-bits of the coeffs when filtering?
However this would lower potential optimisation of filter, as I
think the dual-MAC architecture requires packed 16 bit coeffs.
2/ Block based update would be more efficient, as per comments above,
could use dual MAC architecture.
3/ Look for same sample Blackfin LMS code, see if we can get dual-MAC
packing.
4/ Execute the whole e/c in a block of say 20ms rather than sample
by sample. Processing a few samples every ms is inefficient.

It can also help by removing and DC in the tx signal. DC is bad

This is one of the classic DC removal filters, adjusted to provide
sufficient bass rolloff to meet the above requirement to protect hybrids
from things that upset them. The difference between successive samples
produces a lousy HPF, and then a suitably placed pole flattens things out.
The final result is a nicely rolled off bass end. The filtering is

/*
Line echo cancellation for voice
What does it do?
This module aims to provide G.168-2002 compliant echo cancellation, to remove
electrical echoes (e.g. from 2-4 wire hybrids) from voice calls.
How does it work?
The heart of the echo cancellor is FIR filter. This is adapted to match the
echo impulse response of the telephone line. It must be long enough to
adequately cover the duration of that impulse response. The signal transmitted
to the telephone line is passed through the FIR filter. Once the FIR is
properly adapted, the resulting output is an estimate of the echo signal
received from the line. This is subtracted from the received signal. The result
is an estimate of the signal which originated at the far end of the line, free
from echos of our own transmitted signal.
The least mean squares (LMS) algorithm is attributed to Widrow and Hoff, and
was introduced in 1960. It is the commonest form of filter adaption used in
things like modem line equalisers and line echo cancellers. There it works very
well. However, it only works well for signals of constant amplitude. It works
very poorly for things like speech echo cancellation, where the signal level
varies widely. This is quite easy to fix. If the signal level is normalised -
similar to applying AGC - LMS can work as well for a signal of varying
amplitude as it does for a modem signal. This normalised least mean squares
(NLMS) algorithm is the commonest one used for speech echo cancellation. Many
other algorithms exist - e.g. RLS (essentially the same as Kalman filtering),
FAP, etc. Some perform significantly better than NLMS. However, factors such
as computational complexity and patents favour the use of NLMS.
A simple refinement to NLMS can improve its performance with speech. NLMS tends
to adapt best to the strongest parts of a signal. If the signal is white noise,
the NLMS algorithm works very well. However, speech has more low frequency than
high frequency content. Pre-whitening (i.e. filtering the signal to flatten its
spectrum) the echo signal improves the adapt rate for speech, and ensures the
final residual signal is not heavily biased towards high frequencies. A very
low complexity filter is adequate for this, so pre-whitening adds little to the
compute requirements of the echo canceller.
An FIR filter adapted using pre-whitened NLMS performs well, provided certain
conditions are met:
- The transmitted signal has poor self-correlation.
- There is no signal being generated within the environment being
cancelled.
The difficulty is that neither of these can be guaranteed.
If the adaption is performed while transmitting noise (or something fairly
noise like, such as voice) the adaption works very well. If the adaption is
performed while transmitting something highly correlative (typically narrow
band energy such as signalling tones or DTMF), the adaption can go seriously
wrong. The reason is there is only one solution for the adaption on a near
random signal - the impulse response of the line. For a repetitive signal,
there are any number of solutions which converge the adaption, and nothing
guides the adaption to choose the generalised one. Allowing an untrained
canceller to converge on this kind of narrowband energy probably a good thing,
since at least it cancels the tones. Allowing a well converged canceller to
continue converging on such energy is just a way to ruin its generalised
adaption. A narrowband detector is needed, so adapation can be suspended at
appropriate times.
The adaption process is based on trying to eliminate the received signal. When
there is any signal from within the environment being cancelled it may upset
the adaption process. Similarly, if the signal we are transmitting is small,
noise may dominate and disturb the adaption process. If we can ensure that the
adaption is only performed when we are transmitting a significant signal level,
and the environment is not, things will be OK. Clearly, it is easy to tell when
we are sending a significant signal. Telling, if the environment is generating
a significant signal, and doing it with sufficient speed that the adaption will
not have diverged too much more we stop it, is a little harder.
The key problem in detecting when the environment is sourcing significant
energy is that we must do this very quickly. Given a reasonably long sample of
the received signal, there are a number of strategies which may be used to
assess whether that signal contains a strong far end component. However, by the
time that assessment is complete the far end signal will have already caused
major mis-convergence in the adaption process. An assessment algorithm is
needed which produces a fairly accurate result from a very short burst of far
end energy.
How do I use it?
The echo cancellor processes both the transmit and receive streams sample by
sample. The processing function is not declared inline. Unfortunately,
cancellation requires many operations per sample, so the call overhead is only
a minor burden.

Blackfin NOTES & IDEAS:
A simple dot product function is used to implement the filter. This performs
just one MAC/cycle which is inefficient but was easy to implement as a first
pass. The current Blackfin code also uses an unrolled form of the filter
history to avoid 0 length hardware loop issues. This is wasteful of
memory.
Ideas for improvement:
1/ Rewrite filter for dual MAC inner loop. The issue here is handling
history sample offsets that are 16 bit aligned - the dual MAC needs
32 bit aligmnent. There are some good examples in libbfdsp.
2/ Use the hardware circular buffer facility tohalve memory usage.
3/ Consider using internal memory.
Using less memory might also improve speed as cache misses will be
reduced. A drop in MIPs and memory approaching 50% should be
possible.
The foreground and background filters currenlty use a total of
about 10 MIPs/ch as measured with speedtest.c on a 256 TAP echo
can.
