Affine projection sign algorithm (APSA) is an important adaptive filtering method to combat the impulsive noisy environment. However, the performance of APSA is poor, if its regularization parameter is not well chosen. We propose a variable regularization APSA (VR-APSA) approach, which adopts a gradient-based method to recursively reduce the norm of the a priori error vector. The resulting VR-APSA leverages the time correlation of both the input signal matrix and error vector to adjust the value of the regularization parameter. Simulation results confirm that our algorithm exhibits both fast convergence and small misadjustment properties.
