ABSTRACT:
An echo canceller (500) utilizes a central control unit (502) (CCU) and at least one convolution processing unit (504) (CPU) to perform echo cancellation on one or more channels. A method for operating the echo canceller (500) controls reading (706) one or more reference signals (510) and reflected signals (512), convolution and adaptive processing (11, 21, 31, 41) using the CPUs (504), and post-processing (702) to produce one or more echo cancelled signals (514). Convolution and adaptive processing for multiple channels can be performed simultaneously (11, 31) by multiple CPUs (504), or in a time-multiplexed manner (11, 21) by a single CPU (504), or a combination (11, 21, 31, 41) of simultaneous and time-multiplexing by multiple CPUs (504). CCU (502) is able to perform processing functions (702-730) while CPUs (504) perform convolution and adaptive processing (11, 21, 31, 41).
