Abstract
A method for mitigating unwanted audio noise in internet of things (IoT) based communication environment is provided. The method includes identifying and pairing one or more IoT devices with a voice assistant device, and then dividing the one or more paired IoT devices into a plurality of clusters. The method further includes detecting a user's location with respect to a location of the voice assistant device and then determining a cluster among the plurality of clusters corresponding to the user's location based on the detected user's location and thereafter using a recurrent neural networks (RNN) model, predicting an optimal sound output of the voice assistance device that is audible at the detected user's location. The method furthermore includes correcting the predicted optimal sound output of the voice assistance device using a sound parameter value associated with the determined cluster and a phase shift of the predicted optimal sound output.
