Furthermore, noise adaptation may not be accurately performed by measur-
ing the spectral deviation when subband energies fluctuate rapidly. Thus,
AMR2 changes the VAD threshold in an adaptive way together with the vari-
ation of burst and hangover counts. The hangover control is performed by
measuring the peak-to-average SNR, in which the average SNR is calculated
using AR-adaptation with the increased instantaneous SNR. In other words,
for an increase of the peak-to-average SNR, it decreases the hangover andburst
counts while increasing the VAD threshold. The block diagram of AMR2 is
shown in Figure 10.6.
