Hi,

I would like to know if it is normal to include a 2nd redundant echo canceler
algorithm for line echo cancellation.

I came across brief notes on the internet that suggested use of two echo
cancelers in line echo cancellation. The additional echo canceler is enabled in
case the primary echo canceler goes out of bounds (diverges). I could not find
much useful information on this subject.

1. Is this a general rule in LEC (including 2 cancelers)?
2. What kind of algorithms are preferred or generally used in the 2nd redundant
echo canceler?

Any pointers would be of great help. Thanks.

Regards,
Deepak

I'm not sure there are any general rules in LEC. One common strategy is
certainly to maintain two or more sets of FIR coefficients. If the working set
seems to be drifting badly off tune, the canceller reverts to a "known
good" set. The details of how this works is left as an exercise for the
reader.

Hi Deepak,=20
=A0
(1) There is no rule in echo cancellation to use two echo cancellers.=20
(2) Some authors suggest to use additional filters or best converged filter=

to give better echo cancellation in case of echo path variations or=A0in ca=
