Abstract:
A sound processing node for an arrangement of sound processing nodes is disclosed. The sound processing nodes being configured to receive a plurality of sound signals, wherein the sound processing node comprises a processor configured to determine a beamforming signal on the basis of the plurality of sound signals weighted by a plurality of weights, wherein the processor is configured to determine the plurality of weights using a transformed version of a linearly constrained minimum variance approach, the transformed version of the linearly constrained minimum variance approach being obtained by applying a convex relaxation to the linearly constrained minimum variance approach.

Claim (Index 12):
The sound processing node of  claim 11 , wherein the unbiased covariance of the plurality of sound signals is defined by the following equation: Q = 1 M \ue89e \u2211 l = 1 M \ue89e Y ( l ) \ue89e Y ( l ) \ue89e H , wherein Y i (l)  denotes the vector of sound signals received by i-th sound processing node and M denotes the total number of microphones of all sound processing nodes.
