We refer to this method as compressive statistical sensing (CSS), since we utilize the statistical autocovariance matrix from the compressed data. We demonstrate the performance of this algorithm by analyzing radio astronomy data acquired from the Arecibo Observatory (AO)’s L-Wide band receiver (~1.3 GHz), which is typically corrupted by active radars for commercial applications located near AO facilities. Our CSS-based solution enables robust and efficient detection of the RFI frequency bands present in the data, which is measured by receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves. As a result, it allows fast and computationally efficient identification of RFI-free frequency regions in wideband radio astronomy observations.","PeriodicalId":119131,"journal":{"name":"2018 IEEE Global Conference on Signal and Information Processing (GlobalSIP)","volume":"38 5","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134531131","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The reliability and usability of such systems are highly based on their accuracy as well as cost and ease of deployment. Although the Global Positioning System (GPS) is an accurate solution for outdoor use, it can not be used indoors. A popular approach is a wireless navigation system which makes use of Received Signal Strength Indicators (RSSI). However, signal propagation, as well as surrounding noise and a dynamic environment, can affect their performance. Recent advancements in Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) devices and the introduction of small and inexpensive beacons can alleviate the problem. In this work, we introduce an indoor navigation system with BLE beacons. To measure system accuracy an Android application was developed to collect the signal. Moreover, a Kalman filter was also developed within the application to improve the accuracy. Experimental results showed improvement of systems accuracy in three square topologies. The Kalman filter improved the accuracy up to 78.9%. while the experiments also show a correlation between the overall accuracy and how close BLE beacons are to each other.","PeriodicalId":119131,"journal":{"name":"2018 IEEE Global Conference on Signal and Information Processing (GlobalSIP)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134535113","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In the conventional C-RAN, baseband signals are forwarded after quantization/compression to the central unit for centralized processing/detection in order to keep the complexity of the RRHs low. However, the limited capacity of the fronthaul is a significant bottleneck that prevents C-RAN from supporting large systems (e.g. massive machine-type communications (mMTC)). We propose a learning-based C-RAN in which the detection is performed locally at each RRH and, in contrast to the conventional C-RAN, only the likelihood information is conveyed to the central unit. To this end, we develop a general set-theoretic learning method for estimating likelihood functions. Our method can be used to extend existing detection methods to the C-RAN setting.","PeriodicalId":119131,"journal":{"name":"2018 IEEE Global Conference on Signal and Information Processing (GlobalSIP)","volume":"54 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115091200","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Received Signal Strength Indicator (RSSI) will be a noisy estimation only on the specular power and fail to describe the link quality accurately without the aid of scattered power, while Rician K factor consisted by both the specular and scattered power can be treated as a reliable metric. The traditional estimation approaches of K factor from modulated wireless signals have to be data aided. In this paper, we attempt to formalize the estimation of K factor as a problem of non-linear feature extraction directly from modulated I/Q samples, which can be achieved through a simple convolutional neural network with morphological pre-processing. The experiments over field measurements have demonstrated the possibility of this methodology.","PeriodicalId":119131,"journal":{"name":"2018 IEEE Global Conference on Signal and Information Processing (GlobalSIP)","volume":"6 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114165737","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This approach allows searching for periodic astrophysical signals in real time. Its complexity is dominated by the complexity of the SFT. The results of our analysis show promise. Using simulated data we demonstrate that it takes about 3 minutes of observation time to detect a pulsar at an S/N value of 8σ.

In contrast to common sparsity-aware adaptive filtering algorithms, the F-LMS algorithm detects and exploits sparsity in linear combinations of filter coefficients. Indeed, by applying a feature matrix to the adaptive filter coefficients vector, the F-LMS algorithm can reveal and exploit their hidden sparsity. However, in many cases the unknown plant to be identified contains not only hidden but also plain sparsity and the F-LMS algorithm is unable to exploit it. Therefore, we can incorporate sparsity-promoting techniques into the F-LMS algorithm in order to allow the exploitation of plain sparsity. In this paper, by utilizing the l0-norm, we propose the l0-norm F-LMS (l0-F-LMS) algorithm for sparse lowpass and sparse highpass systems. Numerical results show that the proposed algorithm outperforms the F-LMS algorithm when dealing with hidden sparsity, particularly in highly sparse systems where the convergence rate is sped up significantly.","PeriodicalId":119131,"journal":{"name":"2018 IEEE Global Conference on Signal and Information Processing (GlobalSIP)","volume":"28 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124929140","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
