  2. Outline • Introduction to GSM Buzz • Noise Pulse and the Restoration Model • Detection of Noise Pulses • Removal of Noise Pulses • Audio Demo and Results • Future Directions

  3. What is GSM Buzz? • Cellular phone (GSM ,TDMA, and CDMA) send out strong electromagnetic (EM) pulses during registration process • These pulses are received by audio amplifiers and line in circuits and causes noise known as GSM Buzz Buzz

  4. GSM Buzz (Interference Pulses) GSM Buzz Identification • Visual representation of GSM Buzz • Audio representation of GSM Buzz GSM Buzz can be everywhere

  5. signal processing approach Current Solutions to GSM Buzz • Reducing cell-phone transmission power • Changing transmission protocol • Equipping a telecoil (hearing aid) • Shielding All these solutions require hardware changes and are very difficult and expensive

  6. Practical Applications Statistical signal processing approach can provide last stage restoration for : • AV/ PA equipments • Recording studio • Desktop and car stereos • Portable players and recorders • Telephones • Hearing aids

  7. 217 Hz + harmonics Central Pulse (constant width clock) Decaying Tail (capacitance) Analysis of Noise Pulse

  8. The Restoration Model • x(n) - corrupted signal • g(n) - known interference template • b - constant scaling factor for amplitude difference • e(n) - white output noise • s(n) – original signal • m - location of the start of the noise pulse

  9. Design Strategy for GSM Buzz Removal • Assume Interference Template is known (or can be measured) • Assume central pulse has constant width • Detect Noise Pulse location - m’ • Estimate the scale factor - b • Remove Noise Pulse one by one

  10. Detection of Noise Pulses • Hardware Electromagnetic wave detector • Threshold detection/ slope detection • Cross correlation/ matched filter • Bayesian step detector • Autoregressive detector • The Bayesian template detector Detection is generally not a problem Detect

  11. The Bayesian Template Detector • x(n) - corrupted signal • g(n) - known interference template • b - constant scaling factor for amplitude difference • s(n) – original signal, assume to be autoregressive • m - location of the start of the noise pulse

  12. The Bayesian Template Detector • s(n) – original signal, assume to be autoregressive A contains AR coefficients a(i)

  13. The Bayesian Template Detector Assume Where k is large constant Define probability model for The Bayesian template detector : We wish to integrate out parameters b and σ1 in the detector to obtain an equation of only variable m

  14. The Bayesian Template Detector Solution for The Bayesian template detector :

  16. Removal of Noise Pulses with AR Template Interpolator Iterative model: • x(n) - corrupted signal LSAR interpolates the data in the central pulse region (assume data missing) • s(n) – original signal, assume to be autoregressive • g(n) - known interference template • b - constant scaling factor for amplitude difference • m’ - location of the start of the noise pulse

  17. Least Square AR Interpolator Iterative model: LSAR interpolates the data in the central pulse region (assume data missing) Assume x is autoregressive Solve for a(i) and the solution for LSAR is:

  18. iterate Dotted : corrupted Green: original Red :estimate b dip AR Template Interpolator r is estimated interference minimize e(n) to get b

  19. Central pulse Decaying tail Analysis of AR Template Interpolator Green : original Red : first estimate Black: second estimate

  21. Interfered Audio Restored Audio “GSM Debuzz” Demo (Pop and Speech) Original Audio Pop Speech

  22. GSM Debuzz Results No audible artifacts and improve SNR by 50dB www-sigproc.eng.cam.ac.uk/~hl309/DAFX2006/

  23. Real-time Consideration • For detection, use threshold detector or hardware EM detector • For restoration, use only one iteration • LSAR interpolation has computation complexity of O(L^2) using levinson-Durbin recursion • L is around 25 to 75 samples for CD quality audio

  24. Future Works Exponential decay model • Model the interference pulse as two exponential decays, estimate data in the central pulse region

  25. Scale Future Works Multi-channel Extension • Model the noise pulse of one channel as a scaled version of the other channel
