Adaptive Combination of Second Order Volterra Filters with Nlms and Sign-nlms Algorithms for Nonlinear Acoustic Echo Cancellation

چکیده
In this paper, starting from a robust statistics (RS) adaptive approach presented in a previous work entitled the combined NLMS-Sign (CNLMS-S) adaptive filter, an automatic combination technique with similar performances is proposed. Thus, in order to obtain better performances in acoustic echo cancellation (AEC) setups than with the normalized least-mean square (NLMS) algorithm, in the CNLMS-S case the decision between the two algorithms (NLMS and Sign) is based on a set error threshold. The error threshold can be empirically determined or known a priori if the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) value from the loudspeaker-enclosure-microphone (LEM) setup is available or if the local noise levels can be determined from the silences. Here, to overcome this shortcoming, an adaptive combination of the two algorithms involved in RS is highlighted, providing similar results regarding convergence and final misadjustment. Also, the need of the error threshold set by the user is removed, the combination being controlled only by a step-size parameter, independent on the LEM, constrained only by the stability range. The proposed method is compared to the CNLMS-S in nonlinear LEM setups using measured linear and quadratic Volterra kernels, tracking the behavior of the echo-return loss enhancement (ERLE) characteristic. As input sequences, audio signals with different PDFs are used and WGN is added as local noise. Simulation results justify the efficiency of the proposed method, both in convergence and steady-state error against the CNLMS-S and, implicitly the NLMS and the Sign-NLMS algorithms.

Proportionate Nlms Algorithm for Second-order Volterra Filters and Its Application to Nonlinear Echo Cancellation
The performance of linear acoustic echo cancelers degrades if nonnegligible nonlinear distortion is introduced into the echo path as, e.g., caused by low-cost loudspeaker systems driven at high volume. Adaptive second-order Volterra filters are known to effectively model nonlinear acoustic echo paths. In this contribution we propose an extension of the proportionate NLMS (PNLMS) to second-order...

Typical approaches to acoustic echo cancellation (AEC) in mobile telephones employ adaptive linear algorithms, such as the normalized least mean squares (NLMS) algorithm. Smaller, cheaper components on these devices introduce nonlinearities into the echo path, which adversely affect performance of linear AEC systems and necessitate means of nonlinear compensation. Memoryless nonlinear blocks th...

One of the limitations of linear adaptive echo cancellers is nonlinearities which are generated mainly in the loudspeaker. The complete acoustic channel can be modelled as a nonlinear system convolved with a linear dispersive echo channel. Two new acoustic echo canceller models are developed to improve nonlinear performance. The first model consists of a time-delay feedforward neural network (T...
متن کاملPerformance Analysis of Acoustic Echo Cancellation Techniques
Mainly, the adaptive filters are implemented in time domain which works efficiently in most of the applications. But in many applications the impulse response becomes too large, which increases the complexity of the adaptive filter beyond a level where it can no longer be implemented efficiently in time domain. An example of where this can happen would be acoustic echo cancellation (AEC) applic...
