Abstract
- In adaptive feedback cancellation (AFC) methods, the step-size plays an important role in controlling the convergence speed of an adaptive filter in the feedback canceller path. The selection of this step-size provides a compromise between a low steady-state error and a fast convergence rate. The use of a variable step-size (VSS) is a potential solution to achieve both fast convergence and low steady-state error. In this paper, we propose a frequency-domain AFC method which integrates an improved practical VSS (IPVSS) algorithm into a partitioned-block frequency-domain (PBFD) implementation of the prediction error method (PEM) for hearing aid applications. The proposed method derives benefit from the IPVSS algorithm, e.g., a better compromise solution between convergence and steady-state error, and from the PBFD-PEM, e.g., a low numerical complexity and an improved convergence. The proposed method is evaluated for different types of speech incoming signals as well as for a sudden change of the acoustic feedback path. Simulation results show that the proposed method provides a significant performance improvement compared to the PBFD affine combination approach as well as the PBFD using either the upper or the lower step-sizes which are utilised as boundaries in the IPVSS algorithm.
