ABSTRACT:
There is provided a method of updating a noise state of a voice activity detector (VAD) for indicating an active voice mode and an inactive voice mode. The method comprises receiving an input signal having a plurality of frames, determining an elapsed time since the last update of the noise state, updating the noise state of the VAD if the elapsed time exceeds a predetermined time, determining an average minimum energy based on two or more of the plurality of frames, determining a current minimum energy based on a current frame of the plurality of frames, updating the noise state of the VAD if the average minimum energy is less than the current minimum energy, and updating the noise state of the VAD if the average minimum energy is greater than the current minimum energy plus a first predetermined value.
