Abstract: A method and system of multi-channel echo cancellation using round robin regularization. The multi-channel round robin regularization echo cancellation method includes applying a plurality of adaptive filters, each having an inverse correlation matrix, to the multi-channel playback signal. Each of the plurality of adaptive filters is selected in a round robin sequence, so that every round each of the filters is selected. The inverse correlation matrix associated with each selected adaptive filter then is regularized as needed. The regularized adaptive filter then is used to remove the echo of the multi-channel playback signal from a captured signal. Regularization is implemented in a round robin manner to ensure that each subband is selected so that the adaptive filter for that subband can be examined. Other features of the multi-channel echo cancellation system and method include dynamic switching between monaural and multi-channel echo cancellation and mixed processing for lower and upper subbands.

Abstract: Embodiments of the invention are concerned with improving the amount of information that is available to a user of a mobile device when deciding whether or not to access data from a remote device such as a web site. 
     Requested items can be key words making up a search request or can be web site names indicating web sites of interest to the user. In response to a request, data listings having items generating a match with the requested data item are identified and data indicative of a network location corresponding to the or each matched data item are retrieved. In addition characteristic data, such as data indicative of an amount of data and a resource allocation associated with the set of data accessible via the network location are retrieved and these characteristic data, together with a network subscription associated with device, are used to evaluate actual usage of network resources when accessing the set of data. If data are subsequently requested from the network location the evaluated actual usage can be offset against a resource allocation. 
     The mobile device is equipped with a bespoke software application and user interface that enables the user to select from a set of links. The selections can be presented dependent upon the amount of data to be downloaded, the number of nested links, ratings applied to the data, and other such characteristics.
