“…In this paper, we only consider the permutation problem, where the order of the recovered source components at each frequency bin may not be consistent with each other (e.g. ½ [26,30] utilizes the continuity of the spectral components in adjacent frequency channels while [27,28] use direction of arrival estimation, [31] combines both previous techniques, and [32] utilizes statistical signal models. However, the performance of these algorithms can be degraded by acoustical noise.…”
