A system and method facilitating acoustic echo cancellation convergence
detection is provided. The invention includes an acoustic echo
cancellation convergence detector having a center clipping component, a
convergence calculator, a convergence filter and a convergence statistic
component. The invention provides for the acoustic echo cancellation
convergence detector to provide an output regarding convergence of an
adaptive filter based, at least in part, upon a filtered convergence
statistic. Optionally, the acoustic echo cancellation convergence
detector can provide an output associated with convergence history.
