In many practical applications, systems and signals show energy concentration in a few coefficients. This prior knowledge can often be incorporated into algorithms designed for tasks such as compressive sensing and system identification. This Letter proposes a new least mean square (LMS)‐based algorithm that exploits the hidden sparsity of the system that the adaptive filter intends to estimate. The algorithm minimises the ℓ2‐norm of a linear transformation of the coefficient vector, using the minimum distortion principle. Simulation results demonstrate good performance of the proposed algorithm with respect to the LMS algorithm. In addition, a stochastic model of the advanced algorithm is proposed, which provides accurate mean‐square deviation and mean‐square error predictions.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
