On the generalization of blind source separation algorithms from instantaneous to convolutive mixtures

Many convolutive blind source separation (BSS) approaches are generalized from instantaneous BSS methods in either time or frequency domain. In this paper, we establish in a general way the inner relationship between the time-domain instantaneous BSS and the frequency-domain convolutive BSS. From this point of view, the time-domain approaches for instantaneous mixture separation are generalized to those for convolutive mixture separation in the frequency domain. Two examples are given to illustrate the feasibility of the proposed approach.
