Diffusion multi-rate LMS algorithm for acoustic sensor networks

Abstract: In this paper, we present a diffusion multi-rate least-mean-square (LMS) algorithm, named DMLMS, which is an effective solution for distributed estimation when two or more observation sequences are available with different sampling rates. Then, we focus on a more practical application in the wireless acoustic sensor networks (ASN). The filtered-x LMS (FxLMS) algorithm is extended to the distributed multi-rate system and it introduces collaboration between nodes following a diffusion strategy. Simulation results show that the effectiveness of the proposed algorithms.
