Abstract

A major issue in echo cancellation is to recover the near-end signal from the error signal of the adaptive filter. In this paper, we use this requirement in order to design a family of variable step-size normalized least-mean-square (VSS-NLMS) algorithms. The main parameter that is needed within these algorithms is the near-end signal power estimate. Several solutions for this problem are presented and evaluated in terms of different practical aspects (i.e., available parameters, complexity). Due to their specific characteristic, these VSSNLMS algorithms are equipped with good robustness features against near-end signal variations (e.g., double-talk) and can be reliable candidates for real-world echo cancellation scenarios.
