In this paper, a new spatio-temporal based approach is proposed which improves the speed and performance of temporal-based algorithms, conventional Least Mean Square (LMS), Normalized LMS (NLMS) and Variable Step-size LMS (VSLMS), by using the switched beam technique. In the proposed algorithm, first, DOA of the signal source is estimated by MUltiple SIgnal Classification (MUSIC) algorithm. In the second step, depending on the desired user's location, the closest beam of the switched beam system is selected and its predetermined weights are chosen as the initial values for the weight vector. Finally, LMS/NLMS/VSLMS algorithm is applied to initial weights and final weights are calculated. Simulation results show improved convergence and tracking speed and also a higher efficiency in data transmission through increasing the Signal to Interference plus Noise Ratio (SINR) as well as decreasing the Bit Error Rate (BER) and Mean Square Error (MSE), in a joint state. Moreover, Error Vector Magnitude (EVM) as a measure for distortion introduced by the proposed adaptive scheme on the received signal is evaluated for all LMS-based proposed algorithms which are approximately the same as that for conventional ones. In order to investigate the tracking capability of the proposed method, the system is assumed to be time varying and the desired signal location is considered once in the centre of the initial beam and once in the edge of the fixed beam. As depicted in simulation results, the proposed DOA-based methods offer beamforming with higher performance in both cases of the initial beam, centre as the best case and edge as the worst case, with respect to conventional ones. The MSE diagrams for this time varying system show an ideal response for DOA-based methods in the best case. Also, in the worst case, initial height of MSE is reduced and consequently the required iteration to converge is less than the conventional LMS/NLMS/VSLMS Manuscript profile

Effective algorithms in modern digital communication systems provide a fundamental basis for increasing the efficiency of the application networks which are in many cases neither optimized nor very close to their practical limits. Equalizations are one of the preferred methods for increasing the efficiency of application systems such as orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM). In this paper, we study the possibility of improving the OFDM modulation employing sliced multi-modulus algorithm (S-MMA) equalization. We compare applying the least mean square (LMS), multi modulus algorithm (MMA) and S-MMA equalizations to the per tone equalization in the OFDM modulation. The paper contribution lies in using the S-MMA technique, for weight adaptation, to decreasing the BER in the OFDM multicarrier modulation. For more efficiency, it is assumed that the channel impulse response is longer than the cyclic prefix (CP) length and as a result, the system will be more efficient but at the expense of the high intersymbol interference (ISI) impairment existing. Both analysis and simulations demonstrate better performance of the S-MMA compared to LMS and MMA algorithms, in standard channels with additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN) and ISI impairment simultanously. Therefore, the S-MMA equalization is a good choice for high speed and real-time applications such as OFDM based systems. Manuscript profile

The least mean square (LMS) adaptive algorithm is widely used in acoustic noise cancellation (ANC) scenario. In a noise cancellation scenario, speech signals usually have high amplitude and sudden variations that are modeled by impulsive noises. When the additive noise process is nonGaussian or impulsive, LMS algorithm has a very poor performance. On the other hand, it is well-known that the acoustic channels usually have sparse impulse responses. When the impulse response of system changes from a non-sparse to a highly sparse one, conventional algorithms like the LMS based adaptive filters can not make use of the priori knowledge of system sparsity and thus, fail to improve their performance both in terms of transient and steady state. Impulsive noise and sparsity are two important features in the ANC scenario that have paid special attention, recently. Due to the poor performance of the LMS algorithm in the presence of impulsive noise and sparse systems, this paper presents a novel adaptive algorithm that can overcomes these two features. In order to eliminate impulsive disturbances from speech signal, the information theoretic criterion, that is named correntropy, is used in the proposed cost function and the zero norm is also employed to deal with the sparsity feature of the acoustic channel impulse response. Simulation results indicate the superiority of the proposed algorithm in presence of impulsive noise along with sparse acoustic channel. Manuscript profile
