A distributed adaptive node-specific signal estimation DANSE algorithm that has a reduced communication bandwidth and computational load is evaluated. Batch-mode simulations compare the noise reduction performance of a centralized multi-channel Wiener filter MWF with DANSE. In the simulated scenario DANSE is observed not to be able to achieve the same performance as its centralized MWF equivalent although in theory both should generate the same set of filters. A modification to DANSE is proposed to increase its robustness yielding smaller discrepancy between the performance of DANSE and the centralized MWF. Furthermore the influence of several parameters such as the DFT size used for frequency domain processing and possible delays in the communication link between nodes is investigated.
