Evolutionary and variable step size strategies for multichannel filtered-x affine projection algorithms

This study is focused on the necessity to improve the performance of the affine projection (AP) algorithm for active noise control (ANC) applications. The proposed algorithms are evaluated regarding their steady-state behaviour, their convergence speed and their computational complexity. To this end, different strategies recently applied to the AP for channel identification are proposed for multichannel ANC. These strategies are based either on a variable step size, an evolving projection order, or the combination of both strategies. The developed efficient versions of the AP algorithm use the modified filtered-x structure, which exhibits faster convergence than other filtering schemes. Simulation results show that the proposed approaches exhibit better performance than the conventional AP algorithm and represent a meaningful choice for practical multichannel ANC applications.This work was supported by a grant of the Romanian National Authority for Scientific Research, CNCS-UEFISCDI, project number PN-II-ID-PCE-2011-3-0097, Spanish Ministerio de Ciencia e Innovacion TEC2009-13741 and Generalitat Valenciana PROMETEO 2009/2013.Gonzalez, A.; Albu, F.; Ferrer Contreras, M.; Diego Antón, MD.

Adaptive filters for sparse system identification

Sparse system identification has attracted much attention in the field of adaptive algorithms, and the adaptive filters for sparse system identification are studied. Firstly, a new family of proportionate normalized least mean square (PNLMS) adaptive algorithms that improve the performance of identifying block-sparse systems is proposed. The main proposed algorithm, called block-sparse PNLMS (BS-PNLMS), is based on the optimization of a mixed ℓ2,1 norm of the adaptive filter\u27s coefficients. A block-sparse improved PNLMS (BS-IPNLMS) is also derived for both sparse and dispersive impulse responses. Meanwhile, the proposed block-sparse proportionate idea has been extended to both the proportionate affine projection algorithm (PAPA) and the proportionate affine projection sign algorithm (PAPSA). Secondly, a generalized scheme for a family of proportionate algorithms is also presented based on convex optimization. Then a novel low-complexity reweighted PAPA is derived from this generalized scheme which could achieve both better performance and lower complexity than previous ones. The sparseness of the channel is taken into account to improve the performance for dispersive system identification. Meanwhile, the memory of the filter\u27s coefficients is combined with row action projections (RAP) to significantly reduce the computational complexity. Finally, two variable step-size zero-point attracting projection (VSS-ZAP) algorithms for sparse system identification are proposed. The proposed VSS-ZAPs are based on the approximations of the difference between the sparseness measure of current filter coefficients and the real channel, which could gain lower steady-state misalignment and also track the change in the sparse system --Abstract, page iv
