This paper investigates a new technique using discrete multiwavelet transformsin acoustic echo cancellation. Recently, Geronimo, Hardin, and Massopust constructed two symmetric scaling functions, two associated wavelets and corresponding coefficient matricesfrom the theories of fractal interpolation functions and the notion of multiresolution analysis. In this paper, we introduce a binary tree-structured multiwavelet packetcoupled with adaptive filtering and apply it to acoustic echo cancellation. Based on the multiwavelet packet decomposition, we derive the condition of complete echo cancellation. To approach this optimal condition,we propose a structure-modified multiwavelet packet.Our experiments show that the structure-modified multiwavelet packetoutperforms the binary tree-structured one,with both using symmetric scaling functions. We next derive a measure to check how wellthe optimal condition is satisfied.Based on this measure,We propose a procedure to find the optimal coefficient matriceswith asymmetric scaling functions and associated wavelets in the echo cancellation problem.We obtain different optimal coefficient matrices forthe multiwavelet packets with different structures.The experiment results on echo cancellationusing the optimal coefficient matrices are presented.Comparisons to other schemesshow that the structure-modified multiwavelet packetwith optimal coefficient matrices has the best performance.
