Abstract
A smoothing method for suppressing fluctuating artifacts in the reduction of interference noise includes the following steps: providing short-term spectra for a sequence of signal frames, transforming each short-term spectrum by way of a forward transformation which describes the short-term spectrum using transformation coefficients that represent the short-term spectrum subdivided into its coarse and fine structures; smoothing the transformation coefficients with the respective same coefficient indices by combining at least two successive transformed short-term spectra; and transforming the smoothed transformation coefficients into smoothed short-term spectra by way of a backward transformation.

35. A smoothing method for suppressing fluctuating artifacts during noise reduction, which comprises the following steps:
-
providing short-term spectra for a series of signal frames; transforming each short-term spectrum of the short-term spectra by forward transformation, the forward transformation describing the short-term spectrum using transformation coefficients which represent the short-term spectrum divided into coarse structures and fine structures thereof; smoothing the transformation coefficients with the same coefficient indices in each case by combining at least two successive transformed short-term spectra, and transforming the smoothed transformation coefficients into smoothed short-term spectra by backward transformation. - View Dependent Claims (36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42, 43, 44, 45, 46, 47, 48, 49, 50, 51, 52, 53, 54, 55, 56, 57, 58, 59, 60, 61, 62, 63, 64, 65, 66, 67, 68, 69)
