The variable step size regularized block exact affine projection algorithm

This paper presents several block exact affine projection algorithms (BEAPA) with a variable regularization factor and/or variable step size. The performance of the algorithms is investigated for the acoustic echo cancellation (AEC) and noise reduction applications. It is shown that the variable step size regularized BEAPA whose regularization factor and variable step size are adjusted according to the square of a time-averaging estimate of the autocorrelation of a priori and a posteriori errors is a possible choice for AEC and noise reduction systems. © 2012 IEEE
