Nowadays, metaheuristic algorithms have been emerged as a potential solution in adaptive filtering applications since they offer good convergence properties. Nonetheless, most of them fall into a local minimum since their optimization is based on a single-solution technique. As a consequence, these algorithms present a high misadjustment level and require a large population to find the optimal solution. Recently, the grey wolf optimization (GWO) algorithm has emerged as a potential solution since it requires a smaller population and possesses a stronger global optimization ability with lesser control parameters. From an engineering perspective, its compactness is an attractive feature. Therefore, this opens new horizons in the implementation of this algorithm in resource-constrained devices. In this letter, we present for the first time the use of the GWO algorithm for system identification and acoustic echo canceller (AEC) and its implementation in a field programmable gate array (FPGA) device to validate its effectiveness. Our results show that the use of the GWO algorithm achieves lower steady-state mean square error (MSE) and requires less computational resources when compared with one of the most used metaheuristic algorithm.
