Automobile communication system

Abstract

In an aspect, in general, an automobile communication system includes a first signal input for receiving an input signal from a sensor, a second signal input for receiving a first signal representing a rotational frequency associated with a portion of an engine of the automobile, an engine noise estimation module, and a transmitter. The engine noise estimation module is configured to determine an estimate of an engine-related component of the input signal based on the input signal and the first signal and to form a modified input signal. The engine noise estimation module includes a signal combination module configured to form the modified input signal, including combining the estimate of the engine-related component with the input signal. The transmitter is configured to transmit the modified input signal as part of an outgoing communication.
