A Sparseness Controlled Proportionate Algorithm for AEC

Conclusion

4

Algorithms developed for mobile hands-free terminals are required to be

robust to the variations in the sparseness of the acoustic path.

SC-PNLMS: Sparseness measure has been incorporated into PNLMS.

o Sparseness measured using estimated impulse response.

o Modest increase in computational complexity

o Outperformed across all sparseness levels.
