Partial-Update L_∞ -Norm Based Algorithms

The computational complexity of an adaptive filtering algorithm increases with increasing the filter tap length and therefore, the use of such a filter can become prohibitive for certain applications, especially for real-time implementation. In this paper, we develop low-complexity adaptive filtering algorithms by incorporating the concept of partial updating of the filter coefficients into the technique of finding the gradient vector in the hyperplane based on the L_infin-norm criterion. Two specific partial update algorithms based on the sequential and M-Max coefficient updating are proposed. The statistical analyses of the two algorithms are carried out, and evolution equations for the mean and mean-square of the filter coefficient misalignment as well as the stability bounds on the step size are obtained. It is shown that the proposed partial update algorithm employing the M-Max coefficient updating can achieve a convergence rate that is closest to that of the full update algorithm. Finally, simulations are carried out to validate the theoretical results and study the convergence rate of the proposed algorithms
