Application of Distributed Arithmetic to Adaptive Filtering Algorithms: Trends, Challenges and Future

Mohd. Tasleem Khan

TL;DR

The paper investigates applying distributed arithmetic (DA) to adaptive filtering (AF) to reduce multiply-accumulate cost and hardware resources in real-time implementations. It surveys DA-based architectures for LMS and its fast variants, detailing Type TC and OBC encodings, conjugate DA, and block/sliding-block approaches, and it formulates LMS AF using DA with explicit IPC and coefficient-update rules. The analysis highlights trends toward LUT-based precomputation, pipelining, and LUT sharing, while noting challenges from memory growth, precision loss, and adaptation complexity; future work envisions hybrid DA with approximate computing and machine learning, plus specialized hardware for edge/6G deployments. Overall, DA-based AFs promise higher throughput and lower hardware complexity, enabling real-time, energy-efficient adaptive filtering in resource-constrained environments and guiding future extensions to more advanced AFs like APA and RLS.

Abstract

The utilization of distributed arithmetic (DA) in AF algorithms has gained significant attention in recent years due to its potential to enhance computational efficiency and reduce resource requirements. This paper presents an exploration of the application of DA to adaptive filtering (AF) algorithms, analyzing trends, discussing challenges, and outlining future prospects. It begins by providing an overview of both DA and AF algorithms, highlighting their individual merits and established applications. Subsequently, the integration of DA into AF algorithms is explored, showcasing its ability to optimize multiply-accumulate operations and mitigate the computational burden associated with AF algorithms. Throughout the paper, the critical trends observed in the field are discussed, including advancements in DA-based hardware architectures. Moreover, the challenges encountered in implementing DA-based AF is also discussed. The continued evolution of DA techniques to cater to the demands of modern AF applications, including real-time processing, resource-constrained environments, and high-dimensional data streams is anticipated. In conclusion, this paper consolidates the current state of applying DA to AF algorithms, offering insights into prevailing trends, discussing challenges, and presenting future research and development in the field. The fusion of these two domains holds promise for achieving improved computational efficiency, reduced hardware complexity, and enhanced performance in various signal processing applications.
