Summary: 
For multiple-channel active noise control (ANC) systems, distributed systems consisting of more than one controller are useful. In this paper, we propose a performance improvement algorithm for the distributed multiple-channel ANC system based on the simultaneous equations method. In the proposed algorithm, no estimation of error paths is required. This algorithm can provide good performance in canceling primary noises with auto-/cross-correlations and achieve stable noise reduction under a change of the error paths.
