The Dynamic LMS for Line Echo Cancellation

Abstract:

To the best of our knowledge, this study represents the proposal using the dynamic least mean square (DLMS) algorithm to reduce the computation load of LMS. Moreover, three regions of impulse response of line echo path are also proposed to analyze the redundant coefficients. Using the DLMS method, redundant coefficients can be detected and grouped, thereby automatically reducing computation. We employed line echo cancellation (LEC) to evaluate the performance of DLMS. The pure-delay and overlong regions of impulse response of line echo path are grouped and the associated computation load is reduced. The experimental results confirm the excellent performance of DLMS achieving a 35% savings in computation. Moreover, the quality echo return loss enhancement (ERLE) of DLMS also maintains at a level nearly equal to LMS.
