Robust Total Least Mean M-Estimate normalized subband filter Adaptive Algorithm for impulse noises and noisy inputs

When the input signal is correlated input signals, and the input and output signal is contaminated by Gaussian noise, the total least squares normalized subband adaptive filter (TLS-NSAF) algorithm shows good performance. However, when it is disturbed by impulse noise, the TLS-NSAF algorithm shows the rapidly deteriorating convergence performance. To solve this problem, this paper proposed the robust total minimum mean M-estimator normalized subband filter (TLMM-NSAF) algorithm. In addition, this paper also conducts a detailed theoretical performance analysis of the TLMM-NSAF algorithm and obtains the stable step size range and theoretical steady-state mean squared deviation (MSD) of the algorithm. To further improve the performance of the algorithm, we also propose a new variable step size (VSS) method of the algorithm. Finally, the robustness of our proposed algorithm and the consistency of theoretical and simulated values are verified by computer simulations of system identification and echo cancellation under different noise models

Study of L0-norm constraint normalized subband adaptive filtering algorithm

Limited by fixed step-size and sparsity penalty factor, the conventional sparsity-aware normalized subband adaptive filtering (NSAF) type algorithms suffer from trade-off requirements of high filtering accurateness and quicker convergence behavior. To deal with this problem, this paper proposes variable step-size L0-norm constraint NSAF algorithms (VSS-L0-NSAFs) for sparse system identification. We first analyze mean-square-deviation (MSD) statistics behavior of the L0-NSAF algorithm innovatively in according to a novel recursion form and arrive at corresponding expressions for the cases that background noise variance is available and unavailable, where correlation degree of system input is indicated by scaling parameter r. Based on derivations, we develop an effective variable step-size scheme through minimizing the upper bounds of the MSD under some reasonable assumptions and lemma. To realize performance improvement, an effective reset strategy is incorporated into presented algorithms to tackle with non-stationary situations. Finally, numerical simulations corroborate that the proposed algorithms achieve better performance in terms of estimation accurateness and tracking capability in comparison with existing related algorithms in sparse system identification and adaptive echo cancellation circumstances.Comment: 15 pages,15 figure

A class of diffusion proportionate subband adaptive filters for sparse system identification over distributed networks

This paper aims to extend the proportionate adaptation concept to the design of a class of diffusion normalized subband adaptive filter (DNSAF) algorithms. This leads to four extensions of the algorithm associated with different step-size variations, namely diffusion proportionate normalized subband adaptive filter (DPNSAF), diffusion μ-law PNSAF (DMPNSAF), diffusion improved PNSAF (DIPNSAF) and diffusion improved IPNSAF (DIIPNSAF). Subsequently, steady-state performance, stability conditions and computational complexity of the proposed algorithms are investigated. For each extension the performance has been evaluated using both real and simulated data, where the outcomes demonstrate the accuracy of the theoretical expressions and effectiveness of the proposed algorithms

Combinations of adaptive filters

Adaptive filters are at the core of many signal processing applications, ranging from acoustic noise supression to echo cancelation [1], array beamforming [2], channel equalization [3], to more recent sensor network applications in surveillance, target localization, and tracking. A trending approach in this direction is to recur to in-network distributed processing in which individual nodes implement adaptation rules and diffuse their estimation to the network [4], [5].The work of Jerónimo Arenas-García and Luis Azpicueta-Ruiz was partially supported by the Spanish Ministry of Economy and Competitiveness (under projects TEC2011-22480 and PRI-PIBIN-2011-1266.
