Variable Step-Size Affine Projection Maximum Correntropy Criterion Adaptive Filter With Correntropy Induced Metric for Sparse System Identification.

In this brief, an affine projection maximum correntropy criterion with correntropy induced metric (APMCCCIM) algorithm is proposed for robust sparse adaptive filtering, and it is derived by using the cost function based on affine projection maximum correntropy criterion and correntropy induced metric to eliminate the adverse effects of impulsive noise on filter weight update in sparse systems. In order to further improve the convergence speed and steady-state misalignment of the proposed APMCCCIM algorithm, the variable step-size method is incorporated into the APMCCCIM algorithm. Hence, the variable step-size APMCCCIM (VSS-APMCCCIM) algorithm is presented. Besides, the computational complexity and the range of step-size of the proposed APMCCCIM algorithm are analyzed. Simulation results show that the proposed APMCCCIM and VSS-APMCCCIM algorithms have faster convergence speed and lower steady-state misalignment for sparse system identification and echo cancellation scenarios in the impulsive noise environments.
