An empirically chosen step-size is usually employed in blind system identification algorithms based on cross-relation error minimization. Although some adaptive step-size approaches have been proposed in the literature, the derivations rely, in some cases, on coarse approximations. In this paper, a locally optimal adaptive-step size exploiting the algebraic nature of the problem is derived. Experimental results using simulated room impulse responses show that the proposed algorithm has higher initial convergence rate.} }
