A Class of Diffusion Proportionate Subband Adaptive Filters for Sparse System Identification over Distributed Networks

Abstract

This paper aims to extend the proportionate adaptation concept to the design of a class of diffusion normalized subband adaptive filter (DNSAF) algorithms. This leads to four extensions of the algorithm associated with different step-size variations, namely diffusion proportionate normalized subband adaptive filter (DPNSAF), diffusion \(\mu \)-law PNSAF (DMPNSAF), diffusion improved PNSAF (DIPNSAF) and diffusion improved IPNSAF (DIIPNSAF). Subsequently, steady-state performance, stability conditions and computational complexity of the proposed algorithms are investigated. For each extension the performance has been evaluated using both real and simulated data, where the outcomes demonstrate the accuracy of the theoretical expressions and effectiveness of the proposed algorithms.
