In recent years, signal processing with ad hoc microphone arrays has attracted a lot of
attention. Speech enhancement in noisy, interfered, and reverberant environments is one of
the problems targeted by ad hoc microphone arrays. Most of the proposed solutions require
knowledge of fingerprints, such as acoustic transfer functions, which may not be known as
accurately as required in practical situations. In this paper, a distributed signal subspace

In recent years, signal processing with ad hoc microphone arrays has attracted a lot of attention. Speech enhancement in noisy, interfered, and reverberant environments is one of the problems targeted by ad hoc microphone arrays. Most of the proposed solutions require knowledge of fingerprints, such as acoustic transfer functions, which may not be known as accurately as required in practical situations. In this paper, a distributed signal subspace filtering method is proposed which is not restricted to a special graph topology. Here, the maximum signal to interference-plus-noise ratio (max-SINR) criterion is used with the primal-dual method of multipliers for distributed filtering. The paper investigates the convergence of the algorithm in both synchronous and asynchronous schemes, and also discusses some practical pros and cons. The applicability of the proposed method is demonstrated by means of simulation results.
