Abstract

For feedforward multichannel active noise control (ANC) systems, the use of adaptive finite-impulse response (FIR) filters is a popular solution, and the multichannel filtered-x least-mean-square (FX-LMS) algorithm is the most commonly used algorithm. The drawback of the FX-LMS is the slow convergence speed, especially for broadband multichannel systems. Recently, some fast affine projection algorithms have been introduced for multichannel ANC, as an interesting alternative to the FX-LMS algorithm. They can provide a significantly improved convergence speed at a reasonable additional computational cost. Yet, the additional computational cost or the potential numerical instability in some of the recently proposed algorithms can prevent the use of those algorithms for some applications. In this paper, we propose two pseudo-affine projection algorithms for multichannel ANC: one based on the Gauss-Seidel method and one based on dichotomous coordinate descent (DCD) iterations. It is shown that the proposed algorithms typically have a lower complexity than the previously published fast affine projection algorithms for ANC, with very similar good convergence properties and good numerical stability. Thus, the proposed algorithms are an interesting alternative to the standard FX-LMS algorithm for ANC, providing an improved performance for a computational load of the same order
