Network echo path impulse response is single-block-sparse in nature. In order to obtain a single-block-sparse estimate of the unknown echo path, a new least mean squares (LMS) algorithm is proposed by introducing the penalty of single block sparsity, which is the difference between the mixed l 2,1 norm and l 2 norm of the uniformly partitioned filter tap-weight vector, into the original mean-square-error cost function. This is motivated by the fact that the difference between the mixed l 2,1 norm and l 2 norm of a vector is minimised only when there is at most one non-zero block in the vector. Numerical simulation results show that the proposed algorithm can effectively estimate and track the unknown echo path, outperforming existing block-sparsity-induced LMS algorithms.
