A method of canceling an echo in a signal of a communication network may include filtering an input signal and a corresponding reference signal of an echo path so as to produce vectors of N subband signals corresponding to the input signal and N subband reference echo signals corresponding to the reference signal. Vectors corresponding to a subset of the N subband signals may be adaptively adjusted to form modified vectors of the subset which approximate the corresponding N subband reference echo signals. Based on the modified vectors, subband errors related to a residual echo for each of the subband signals of the subset may be determined. The subband errors may be synthesized to generate a full-band signal with a synthesized residual echo.
