A voice communication device with an integrated framework structure for echo cancellation and noise reduction is disclosed. A microphone receives a local input signal while a speaker is outputting a local output signal. The local input signal and output signal are all decomposed into a plurality of subband signals by filter banks for conducting individual processing of echo cancellation and noise reduction per subband. The subband echo canceller is followed by a DFT unit to split the cancellation result into a plurality of narrow frequency bins whereby the noise reduction is performed. The noise reduction results are recombined by an IDFT unit for residual echo removal in a subband non-linear processor. The final output is obtained from a synthesis filter bank that synthesizes the subband signals after echo cancellation and noise reduction into a full-band signal.
