where the superscript t indicates the frame index, η is the smooth adaptation
factor, e.g. 0.95, and Y is the noisy spectrum. In the case of speech presence,
usually indicated by a VAD, it does not update the noise variance. HD-based
noise adaptation has been widely used in speech enhancement.
11.3.2 SoftDecision-basedNoiseAdaptation
The SD-based noise estimation, the estimated noise given by Y k ,isformu-
lated as,
E(D k |
Y k ) =
E(D k |
Y k ,H 0 )p(H 0 |
Y k ) +
E(D k |

The optimal noise gain G D,k can be derived from the Wiener estimator W in
the time domain. It can be shown that W

G D is an independent task within the noise estimation process which may
be used in other kinds of enhanced spectral estimation techniques, such as
MMSE, MMSE-LSA, etc. The noise variance of the SD-based method may be
estimated in a recursive manner as given below,

11.3.3 MixedDecision-basedNoiseAdaptation
In order to alleviate the problems in the HD- and SD-based methods, the
MD-based method is proposed [20] for noise adaptation as
