A database of radio-fingerprints is used, along with the ridge regression learning method, to compute a model that takes as input RSSI information, and yields, as output, the positions where the RSSIs are measured. This model leads to a position estimate for each target. The Kalman filter is used afterwards to combine the model's estimates with predictions of the target's positions based on acceleration information, leading to more accurate ones.","PeriodicalId":141678,"journal":{"name":"2014 IEEE 8th Sensor Array and Multichannel Signal Processing Workshop (SAM)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-06-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130219831","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}

Specifically, in addition to square quadrature amplitude modulated (QAM) signals broadcasted by the source, the relay simultaneously receives AN symbols designed and transmitted by the destination. For the relay, based on the assumption of additive white Gaussian noise, we derive the analytical symbol error rate (SER) expression, which is maximized for the optimal AN design. Under an average power constraint, we find the optimal phase and power distribution of the AN. Interestingly, our study shows that the Gaussian distribution is generally not optimal to generate AN and the results in this paper can be used as benchmarks for future analyses of AN-based techniques. More importantly, rather than conducting analysis from an information-theoretic perspective, our SER-based approach takes practical communication issues into account, such as QAM signalling.","PeriodicalId":141678,"journal":{"name":"2014 IEEE 8th Sensor Array and Multichannel Signal Processing Workshop (SAM)","volume":"52 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-06-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132879451","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}

While the method has been shown to work well when large number of samples are available for estimating the autocorrelation, the effect of fewer samples on the performance of coprime spectrum estimation has not been addressed so far. This paper addresses this issue by employing a denoising scheme on the spectral estimates, as a l1 norm penalized quadratic program. The solution to this problem results in the so-called soft thresholding operator on the spectral estimates, which inherently promotes sparsity. It also helps to combat the effect of spurious peaks resulting from the finite sample averaging. The probabilities of detecting active and inactive bands are also explicitly characterized and they converge to unity by increasing the number (L) of sub Nyquist samples available to compute the estimates. The effectiveness of the proposed method is demonstrated through numerical examples.","PeriodicalId":141678,"journal":{"name":"2014 IEEE 8th Sensor Array and Multichannel Signal Processing Workshop (SAM)","volume":"97 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-06-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124677378","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}

When the target is close to the wall, strong reflections from the wall can obscure the target. Even if wall reflections are estimated and subtracted from the measurement, the dynamic range between wall and target reflections may saturate the analog-to-digital converter (ADC). Furthermore, resolving the target from the wall requires high bandwidth. In this paper, we consider the potential for using custom-designed compressive measurement kernels to mitigate these resolution and dynamic range problems. We treat wall reflections as colored noise in our Gaussian Mixture-based kernel optimization procedure, which results in custom-generated kernels that can reject the dominant wall reflections. Although this places more burden on a receivers analog components, in some scenarios it can significantly improve the situation at the ADC.","PeriodicalId":141678,"journal":{"name":"2014 IEEE 8th Sensor Array and Multichannel Signal Processing Workshop (SAM)","volume":"97 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-06-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128791937","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 second stage, the remaining wavelet coefficients are further compressed using principal component analysis. A compact linear measurement model is then formulated which relates the compressed wavelet coefficients to the image of the scene. Finally, the image reconstruction problem is solved in a more efficient compressed sensing framework, using the compact linear measurement model.

An approach utilizing an antenna array is proposed in order to suppress spoofing attacks. The proposed method is based on the assumption that all spoofing signals are transmitted from a single point source. A spatial domain processing technique is proposed to extract the spoofing signal steering vector and consequently to discard the spoofing signals. This method is implemented before despreading and acquisition stage of a GNSS receiver. Hence, it does not impose a heavy computational load on the receiver operational process since it does not require any extensive search in the code and Doppler domains to separately despread individual authentic and spoofing signals. Moreover, the proposed method does not require any antenna array calibration process. This pre-despreading interference mitigation technique is further extended to maximize signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of each individual authentic GNSS signal. Simulation results show that the proposed method effectively countermeasures spoofing attacks for a wide range of received spoofing power.","PeriodicalId":141678,"journal":{"name":"2014 IEEE 8th Sensor Array and Multichannel Signal Processing Workshop (SAM)","volume":"19 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-06-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133917684","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}
