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
Efficient Multiband Algorithms for Blind Source Separation
The problem of blind separation refers to recovering original signals, called source signals, from the mixed signals, called observation signals, in a reverberant environment. The mixture is a function of a sequence of original speech signals mixed in a reverberant room. The objective is to separate mixed signals to obtain the original signals without degradation and without prior information of the features of the sources. The strategy used to achieve this objective is to use multiple bands that work at a lower rate, have less computational cost and a quicker convergence than the conventional scheme. Our motivation is the competitive results of unequal-passbands scheme applications, in terms of the convergence speed. The objective of this research is to improve unequal-passbands schemes by improving the speed of convergence and reducing the computational cost. The first proposed work is a novel maximally decimated unequal-passbands scheme.This scheme uses multiple bands that make it work at a reduced sampling rate, and low computational cost. An adaptation approach is derived with an adaptation step that improved the convergence speed. The performance of the proposed scheme was measured in different ways. First, the mean square errors of various bands are measured and the results are compared to a maximally decimated equal-passbands scheme, which is currently the best performing method. The results show that the proposed scheme has a faster convergence rate than the maximally decimated equal-passbands scheme. Second, when the scheme is tested for white and coloured inputs using a low number of bands, it does not yield good results; but when the number of bands is increased, the speed of convergence is enhanced. Third, the scheme is tested for quick changes. It is shown that the performance of the proposed scheme is similar to that of the equal-passbands scheme. Fourth, the scheme is also tested in a stationary state. The experimental results confirm the theoretical work. For more challenging scenarios, an unequal-passbands scheme with over-sampled decimation is proposed; the greater number of bands, the more efficient the separation. The results are compared to the currently best performing method. Second, an experimental comparison is made between the proposed multiband scheme and the conventional scheme. The results show that the convergence speed and the signal-to-interference ratio of the proposed scheme are higher than that of the conventional scheme, and the computation cost is lower than that of the conventional scheme
