Abstract: We introduce a new transform domain (least mean square) LMS algorithm with variable step. The existing approaches use different time-variable step-sizes for each filter tap. The step-sizes are time-variable due to the power estimates of each transform coefficient. In our new approach, for each step-size we define a local component that is given by the power normalization, and a global component that is the same for each filter coefficient. We show that if the global component is also made time-variable, depending on the output error, the speed of convergence can be significantly improved.
