چکیده

Acoustic multi-channel equalization techniques, such as the regularized partial multi-channel equalization technique based on the multiple-input/output inverse theorem (RP-MINT), are able to achieve a high dereverberation performance in the presence of room impulse response perturbations but may lead to additive noise amplification. This paper proposes to directly extend the RP-MINT technique by incorporating the noise statistics in the reshaping filter design, such that joint dereverberation and noise reduction is achieved. In addition to the regularization parameter used in the RP-MINT technique, a weighting parameter is introduced to trade off between dereverberation and noise reduction. To automatically determine the regularization and weighting parameters, a novel non-intrusive procedure based on the L-hypersurface is proposed. Simulation results using instrumental performance measures show that the proposed technique maintains the high dereverberation performance of the RP-MINT technique, while improving the noise reduction performance.

Single-Carrier Frequency-Domain Equalization for Orthogonal STBC over Frequency-Selective MIMO-PLC channels

In this paper we propose a new space diversity scheme for broadband PLC systems using orthogonal space-time block coding (OSTBC) transmission combined with single-carrier frequency-domain equalization (SC-FDE). To apply this diversity technique to PLC channels, we first propose a new technique for combining SC-FDE with OSTBCs applicable to all dispersive multipath channels impaired by impulsive...

A new joint channel equalization and estimation algorithm for underwater acoustic channels

Underwater acoustic channel (UAC) is one of the most challenging communication channels in the world, owing to its complex multi-path and absorption as well as variable ambient noise. Although adaptive equalization could effectively eliminate the inter-symbol interference (ISI) with the help of training sequences, the convergence rate of equalization in sparse UAC decreased remarkably. Besides,...
