The standard adaptive filtering algorithm with a single error norm exhibits slow convergence rate and poor noise reduction performance under specific environments. To overcome this drawback, a filtered-x generalized mixed norm (FXGMN) algorithm for active noise control (ANC) system is proposed. The FXGMN algorithm is developed by using a convex mixture of l p and l q norms as the cost function that it can be viewed as a generalized version of the most existing adaptive filtering algorithms, and it will reduce to a specific algorithm by choosing certain parameters. Especially, it can be used to solve the ANC under Gaussian and non-Gaussian noise environments (including impulsive noise with symmetric α -stable ( S α S ) distribution). To further enhance the algorithm performance, namely convergence speed and noise reduction performance, a convex combination of the FXGMN algorithm (C-FXGMN) is presented. Moreover, the computational complexity of the proposed algorithms is analyzed, and a stability condition for the proposed algorithms is provided. Simulation results show that the proposed FXGMN and C-FXGMN algorithms can achieve better convergence speed and higher noise reduction as compared to other existing algorithms under various noise input conditions, and the C-FXGMN algorithm outperforms the FXGMN.

The active noise control (ANC) based on the principle of superposition is an attractive method to attenuate the noise signals. However, the impulsive noise in the ANC systems will degrade the performance of the controller. In this paper, a filtered-x recursive maximum correntropy (FxRMC) algorithm is proposed based on the maximum correntropy criterion (MCC) to reduce the effect of outliers. The proposed FxRMC algorithm does not requires any priori information of the noise characteristics and outperforms the filtered-x least mean square (FxLMS) algorithm for impulsive noise. Meanwhile, in order to adjust the kernel size of FxRMC algorithm online, a recursive approach is proposed through taking into account the past estimates of error signals over a sliding window. Simulation and experimental results in the context of active impulsive noise control demonstrate that the proposed algorithms achieve much better performance than the existing algorithms in various noise environments.
