| contents | Two algorithms for combined acoustic echo cancellation (AEC) and noise reduction (NR) are analysed, namely the generalised echo and interference canceller (GEIC) and the extended multichannel Wiener filter (MWFext). Previously, these algorithms have been examined for linear echo paths, and assuming access to voice activity detectors (VADs) that separately detect desired speech and echo activity. However, algorithms implementing VADs may introduce detection errors. Therefore, in this paper, the previous analyses are extended by 1) modelling general nonlinear echo paths by means of the generalised Bussgang decomposition, and 2) modelling VAD error effects in each specific algorithm, thereby also allowing to model specific VAD assumptions. It is found and verified with simulations that, generally, the MWFext achieves a higher NR performance, while the GEIC achieves a more robust AEC performance. |
