Low complexity LMS-Type adaptive algorithm with selective coefficient update for stereophonic acoustic echo cancellation
Stereophonic acoustic echo cancellation (SAEC) has brought up recently much attention and found a viable place in a number of hands-free applications. In this paper, we propose an LMS-type algorithm for SAEC based on decomposing the long adaptive filter of each channel of the SAEC system into smaller subfilters. We further reduce the complexity of the algorithm by employing the selective coefficient update (SCU) method in each subfilter. This leads to a significant improvement in the convergence rate of the algorithm with low computational overhead. However, the algorithm has a high final mean-square error (MSE) at steady-state that increases as number of subfilters increases. A combined-error algorithm is presented that achieves fast convergence without compromising the steady state error level. Simulations demonstrate the convergence speed advantages of the combined-error algorithm. (C) 2008 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
