<p>With the high speed of communication in LTE-5G, fast beamforming techniques need to be adopted. The training time required to form and steer the main lobes toward 5G multiple users must be short. Least-Mean-Square (LMS) training time is not suitable to work with in LTE-5G, but it has a good performance in forming multiple beams to large number of users and producing nulls in the interference direction. In this paper, an optimized hybrid MVDR-LMS beamforming algorithm is proposed to reduce the time required to estimate the antenna’s weights. This optimization is made by the benefit of previously set weights calculated using MVDR algorithms. The performance of the proposed hybrid MVDR-LMS algorithm tested using MATLAB 2016a.</p>

In this paper, we develop a modified adaptive combination strategy for the distributed estimation problem over diffusion networks. We still consider the online adaptive combiners estimation problem from the perspective of minimum variance unbiased estimation. In contrast with the classic adaptive combination strategy which exploits orthogonal projection technology, we formulate a non-constrained mean-square deviation (MSD) cost function by introducing Lagrange multipliers. Based on the Karush–Kuhn–Tucker (KKT) conditions, we derive the fixed-point iteration scheme of adaptive combiners. Illustrative simulations validate the improved transient and steady-state performance of the diffusion least-mean-square LMS algorithm incorporated with the proposed adaptive combination strategy.

Abstract Vibration predictions for rotating machinery with high-speed flexible rotors must account for the methods and limitations of the balance test process which determine the residual rotor unbalance. Vibration predictions based on finite element analysis (FEA) methods are highly dependent upon the assumed rotor unbalance amplitude and phase. The actual residual unbalance distribution depends upon the measured influence coefficients and the least-mean-square (LMS) algorithm used to calculate balance correction weights. Repeatability of the vibration measurements is a key factor in successful balancing. The vibration predictions described in this paper use estimates of final residual unbalance obtained by simulating the balance test process. The simulation uses FEA based influence coefficients, a test based measurement uncertainty (repeatability) model, and LMS balance weight calculations including the specified vibration target levels. The simulations can be used to predict the limit of balance performance of the machinery and to evaluate design options for impact on residual unbalance levels.

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to analyze the convergence performance of Bessel beamformer, based on the design steps of least mean square (LMS) algorithm, can be named as Bessel LMS (BLMS) algorithm. Its performance is compared in adaptive environment with LMS in terms of two important performance parameters, namely; convergence and mean square error. The proposed BLMS algorithm is implemented on digital signal processor along with antenna array to make it smart in wireless sensor networks. Design/methodology/approach – Convergence analysis is theoretically developed and verified through MatLab Software. Findings – Theoretical model is verified through simulation and its results are shown in the provided table. Originality/value – The theoretical model can obtain validation from well-known result of Wiener filter theory through principle of orthogonality.

The standard least mean square algorithm does not consider the sparsity of the impulse response,and the performs of the ZA-LMS algorithm deteriorates ,as the degree of system sparsity reduces or non-sparse . Concerning this issue ,the ZA-LMS algorithm is studied and modified in this paper to improve the performance of sparse system identification .The improved algorithm by modify the zero attraction term, which attracts the coefficients only in a certain range (the “inactive” taps), thus have a good performance when the sparsity decreases. The simulations demonstrate that the proposed algorithm significantly outperforms then the ZA-LMS with variable sparisity.

This paper proposes a method of Speech recognition using Self Organizing Maps (SOM) and actuation through network in Matlab. The different words spoken by the user at client end are captured and filtered using Least Mean Square (LMS) algorithm to remove the acoustic noise. FFT is taken for the filtered voice signal. The voice spectrum is recognized using trained SOM and appropriate label is sent to server PC. The client and the server communication are established using User Datagram Protocol (UDP). Microcontroller (AT89S52) is used to control the speed of the actuator depending upon the input it receives from the client. Real-time working of the prototype system has been verified with successful speech recognition, transmission, reception and actuation via network.

This paper presents an insufficient cyclic prefix (CP) Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) system with equalizer whose coefficients are calculated using Least Mean Square (LMS) algorithm. The OFDM signal is passed through a channel with four multipath signals which cause the OFDM signal to be under high inter-symbol interference (ISI) and inter-carrier interference (ICI).8-QAM and 16-QAM digital modulation techniques are used to evaluate the performance of the proposed system. The simulation results have accentuated the high performance of the LMS equalizer via comparing its Bit Error Rate (BER) and constellation diagram with those of the Minimum Mean Square Error and Zero Forcing equalizers. Moreover, the results also reveal that the LMS equalizer provides BER performance close to that of the OFDM system with a hypothetical sufficient CP.

The step size of least mean square (LMS) algorithm is significant for its performance. To be specific, small step size can get small excess mean square error but results in slow convergence. However, large step size may cause instability. Many variable step size least mean square (VSSLMS) algorithms have been developed to enhance the control performance. In this paper, a new VSSLMS was proposed based on Kwong’s algorithm to evaluate the robustness. The approximate analysis of dynamic and steady-state performance of this developed VSSLMS algorithm was given. An active vibration control system of piezoelectric cantilever beam was established to verify the performance of the VSSLMS algorithms. By comparing with the current VSSLMS algorithms, the proposed method has better performance in active vibration control applications.

In this chapter, we describe a compact array antenna. Beamforming is achieved by tuning the load reactances at parasitic elements surrounding the active central element. The existing beam forming algorithms for this reactively controlled parasitic array antennas require long training time. In comparison with these algorithms, a faster beamforming algorithm, based on simultaneous perturbation stochastic approximation (SPSA) theory with a maximum cross-correlation coefficient (MCCC) criterion, is proposed in this chapter. The simulation results validate the algorithm. In an environment where the signal-to-interference ratio (SIR) is 0 dB, the algorithm converges within 50 iterations and achieves an output SINR of 10 dB. With the fast beamforming ability and its low power consumption attribute, the antenna makes the mass deployment of smart antenna technologies practical. To give a comparison of the beamforming algorithm with one of the standard beamforming algorithms for a digital beamforming (DBF) antenna array, we compare the proposed algorithm with the least mean square (LMS) beamforming algorithm. Since the parasitic array antenna is in nature an analog antenna, it cannot suppress correlated interference. Here, we assume that the interferences are uncorrelated.
