Delayless individual-weighting-factors sign subband adaptive filter (IWF-SSAF) algorithms with a band-dependent variable step-size (BDVSS) were recently introduced to achieve a robust convergence performance against the impulsive interference and to avoid an undesirable signal path delay in subband systems. In this paper, we develop a block implementation of the delayless IWF-SSAF algorithm designed for an active impulsive noise control (AINC) system. With the block-processing approach, the proposed delayless block IWF-SSAF algorithm can be implemented more efficiently than the original delayless algorithm regardless of number of subbands, which is verified through the computational analysis. Furthermore, an improved BDVSS version (I-BDVSS) is also proposed by using the multiple auxiliary past gradients, which are given for each band by the block-processing. Finally, the simulation results illustrate that the proposed delayless block IWF-SSAF algorithm with the I-BDVSS, even requiring less computational burden, can achieve a better convergence performance than the original delayless algorithm with the BDVSS under severe impulsive noise control environment.
