NLMS algorithm
The first go-to algorithm for acoustic echo cancellation (AEC) is a the gradient descent
least mean squared (LMS) algorithm. The LMS algorithm however has a challenge in the
convergence time making it not quite suitable for real time operating system which
require fast convergence of the algorithm with low computation time. An adaptation of
the LMS algorithm, the normalized LMS algorithm is used to mitigate this
challenge. Consider the LMS algorithm which proceeds as:
which leads to
Further, the partials with respect to the Lagrange multipliers are
The NLMS update equation looks similar to the original LMS update equation
