IPC: H04R3/00

Abstract: In a method of enhancing received desired sound signals such as speech signals, and of suppressing undesired sound signals such as noise. The method uses I microphones each feeding into a bank of K band pass filters. In the I identical banks of K band pass filters each bank receives an input from one microphone and has K outputs of distinct frequency sub-bands. K beam-formers, one for each frequency sub-band, each receives one input from each of the I filter banks representing the same frequency sub-band. The output from each beam-former is the beam-formed signal for one distinct frequency sub-band. From the beam-formed frequency sub-band signals a time domain output signal is reconstructed. Stored estimates of the desired sound source are used in the method of the invention. Such estimates are obtained from received signals from the desired sound source at times with no or insignificant undesired sound signals. The method lends itself in particular to hands-free mobile communication in noisy environments such as in a motor vehicle.

Abstract: Doppler spread associated with a Rayleigh or fast fading channel established between a radio base station and a mobile radio station is estimated. In particular, the Doppler spread is estimated through calculation of the autocorrelation function of a sequence of complex channel estimates determined from a known sequence in the received signal. More specifically, a sequence of complex channel estimates obtained from the known sequence in a first sampling interval is complex conjugated and then correlated with a sequence of complex channel estimates obtained from the known reference in a second sampling interval which have been not been complex conjugated. A zero crossing of the complex autocorrelation function is detected, and the estimated Doppler spread is calculated using this zero crossing and a Bessel function.
