/* Implementation Notes
David Rowe
April 2007
This code started life as Steve's NLMS algorithm with a tap
rotation algorithm to handle divergence during double talk. I
added a Geigel Double Talk Detector (DTD) [2] and performed some
G168 tests. However I had trouble meeting the G168 requirements,
especially for double talk - there were always cases where my DTD
failed, for example where near end speech was under the 6dB
threshold required for declaring double talk.
So I tried a two path algorithm [1], which has so far given better
results. The original tap rotation/Geigel algorithm is available
in SVN http://svn.rowetel.com/software/oslec/tags/before_16bit.
It's probably possible to make it work if some one wants to put some
serious work into it.
At present no special treatment is provided for tones, which
generally cause NLMS algorithms to diverge. Initial runs of a
subset of the G168 tests for tones (e.g ./echo_test 6) show the
current algorithm is passing OK, which is kind of surprising. The
full set of tests needs to be performed to confirm this result.
One other interesting change is that I have managed to get the NLMS
code to work with 16 bit coefficients, rather than the original 32
bit coefficents. This reduces the MIPs and storage required.
I evaulated the 16 bit port using g168_tests.sh and listening tests
on 4 real-world samples.
I also attempted the implementation of a block based NLMS update
[2] but although this passes g168_tests.sh it didn't converge well
on the real-world samples. I have no idea why, perhaps a scaling
problem. The block based code is also available in SVN
http://svn.rowetel.com/software/oslec/tags/before_16bit. If this
code can be debugged, it will lead to further reduction in MIPS, as
the block update code maps nicely onto DSP instruction sets (it's a
dot product) compared to the current sample-by-sample update.
Steve also has some nice notes on echo cancellers in echo.h

R1 = W [P1] (X) ||
nop;

A block based update algorithm would be much faster but the
above can't be improved on much. Every instruction saved in
the loop above is 2 MIPs/ch! The for loop above is where the
Blackfin spends most of it's time - about 17 MIPs/ch measured
with speedtest.c with 256 taps (32ms). Write-back and
Write-through cache gave about the same performance.

/*
IDEAS for further optimisation of lms_adapt_bg():
1/ The rounding is quite costly. Could we keep as 32 bit coeffs
then make filter pluck the MS 16-bits of the coeffs when filtering?
However this would lower potential optimisation of filter, as I
think the dual-MAC architecture requires packed 16 bit coeffs.
2/ Block based update would be more efficient, as per comments above,
could use dual MAC architecture.
3/ Look for same sample Blackfin LMS code, see if we can get dual-MAC
packing.
4/ Execute the whole e/c in a block of say 20ms rather than sample
by sample. Processing a few samples every ms is inefficient.

The Boffins have shown that if we obey (1) we converge
quickly and avoid instability.
The correct factor f must be in Q30, as this is the fixed
point format required by the lms_adapt_bg() function,
therefore the scaled version of (1) is:
(2^30) * f = (2^30) * Beta * clean_bg_rx/P
factor = (2^30) * Beta * clean_bg_rx/P ----- (2)
We have chosen Beta = 0.25 by experiment, so:
factor = (2^30) * (2^-2) * clean_bg_rx/P
(30 - 2 - log2(P))
factor = clean_bg_rx 2 ----- (3)
To avoid a divide we approximate log2(P) as top_bit(P),
which returns the position of the highest non-zero bit in
P. This approximation introduces an error as large as a
factor of 2, but the algorithm seems to handle it OK.
Come to think of it a divide may not be a big deal on a
modern DSP, so its probably worth checking out the cycles
for a divide versus a top_bit() implementation.

as part of the tx process. See rx HP (DC blocking) filter above, it's
the same design.
Some soft phones send speech signals with a lot of low frequency
energy, e.g. down to 20Hz. This can make the hybrid non-linear
which causes the echo canceller to fall over. This filter can help
by removing any low frequency before it gets to the tx port of the
hybrid.
It can also help by removing and DC in the tx signal. DC is bad
for LMS algorithms.
This is one of the classic DC removal filters, adjusted to provide sufficient
bass rolloff to meet the above requirement to protect hybrids from things that
upset them. The difference between successive samples produces a lousy HPF, and
then a suitably placed pole flattens things out. The final result is a nicely
rolled off bass end. The filtering is implemented with extended fractional
precision, which noise shapes things, giving very clean DC removal.
