Abstract
A method for adaptive control of a multi-channel echo cancellation system including N loudspeakers, where N is an integer greater than or equal to 2, and M microphones, where M is an integer greater than or equal to 1. The system includes N×M identification filters with variable coefficients, the identification filters being used to estimate acoustic coupling between the loudspeakers and the microphones as a function of a variable coefficients adaptive step. The variable coefficients adaptive step depends on whether or not there is a signal present on the loudspeakers. The method is applicable to hands-off operation of communication tools.
