    Abstract: A method of estimating available bandwidth for a network comprising a transmitting device and a receiving device, the method comprising: transmitting a media packet stream over the network to the receiving device, the media packets comprising media data for streaming media at the receiving device; transmitting one or more probe packets over the network so as to test the available bandwidth of the network, wherein the probe packets comprise duplicate data of the media packet stream; and determining, during transmission of the probe packets, a measure of network bandwidth availability in dependence on one or more metrics associated with receiving the media packet stream at the receiving device.

    Abstract: A gain control system for dynamically tuning an echo canceller, the echo canceller being configured to estimate an echo of a far-end signal and subtract that echo estimate from a microphone signal to output an echo cancelled signal, the gain control system comprising a monitoring unit configured to estimate an energy associated with an impulse response of an adaptive filter configured to generate the echo estimate from the far-end signal and a gain tuner configured to adjust an attenuation of at least one of the microphone signal and the far-end signal in dependence on the estimated energy.

    Abstract: A gain control system for dynamically tuning an echo canceller, the echo canceller being configured to estimate an echo of a far-end signal and subtract that estimate from a microphone signal to output an echo cancelled signal, the system comprising an echo measurement unit configured to calculate a ratio of the microphone signal to the far-end signal, an attenuation unit configured to attenuate at least one of the microphone signal and the far-end signal to output a second microphone signal and a second far-end signal to the echo canceller, the ratio of the second microphone signal to the second far-end signal being different from the calculated ratio, and an attenuation controller configured to control the attenuation unit, in dependence on the calculated ratio, so as to alter the ratio of the second microphone signal to the second far-end signal and control the echo-cancelled signal.
