Adaptive Momentum Enhanced Distributed Multichannel Active Noise Control for Faster Convergence under Communication Delays

Junwei Ji, Woon-Seng Gan, Boxiang Wang, Ziyi Yang, Haowen Li

Distributed multichannel active noise control (DMCANC) reduces the computational burden of centralized ANC systems by distributing processing tasks across multiple nodes, while requiring information exchange to achieve satisfactory global noise reduction. To improve robustness under communication delays, the auto-shrink step size mixed-gradients filtered reference LMS (ASSS-MGDFxLMS) algorithm has been proposed. However, the reduced step size inevitably slows convergence. In this work, an adaptive momentum term is introduced to accelerate convergence, where cosine similarity is used to evaluate the alignment between the instantaneous gradient and the momentum component and dynamically adjust the momentum parameter. This design accelerates convergence when the directions are consistent while preserving stability under delayed communication. Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed adaptive momentum ASSS-MGDFxLMS (AMAS-MGDFxLMS) algorithm achieves faster convergence than ASSS-MGDFxLMS while maintaining stable and effective noise reduction performance.
