Claim One:
1. A nonlinear acoustic echo signal suppression system comprising: an acoustic echo signal estimator configured to estimate a nonlinear acoustic echo signal by using a Volterra filter in a frequency domain; and a near-end talker speech signal generator configured to generate a near-end speech absence probability (NSAP) by applying Bayes's rule to a speech absence probability distribution function (PDF), a speech presence PDF, and a prior near-end speech presence probability ratio, and to generate a near-end talker speech signal by suppressing the nonlinear acoustic echo signal based on the NSAP and a gain function, wherein the acoustic echo signal estimator is configured to estimate a filter factor of the Volterra filter by using a multi-tap least square estimator, and estimate the nonlinear acoustic echo signal by using the filter factor of the Volterra filter.
