Abstract
In a cellular telephone, a method of reducing background noise of an audio signal resulting from a received signal. Each digital sample of the audio signal is used to calculate an average energy of the audio signal over a number of samples. When the average energy is less than a threshold, a gain factor is calculated using the average energy and the threshold. The amplitude of the audio sample is then adjusted according to the gain factor.
