NMF is often used to solve blind signal separation (BSS) problem. We had used a basic NMF algorithm named ISRA and our original algorithm named QL1-NMF to analyze the environmental electromagnetic data in extremely low frequency (ELF) band. In previous research, we found that QL1-NMF works more robust than ISRA when our data includes many outliers. However, both algorithms have a problem that their solutions are not unique. In this paper, we try to estimate signals step-by-step. We research the effect which this technique has on the uniqueness of solutions.","PeriodicalId":143331,"journal":{"name":"2012 IEEE 11th International Conference on Signal Processing","volume":"37 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114748129","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 this paper, we propose a distributed compressed sensing-based data gathering scheme in wireless sensor networks in which the sensor readings possess both inter- (spatial) and intra- (temporal) signal correlations that may take the form of a jointly sparse structure. Simulations are performed using real data sets to evaluate the recovery performance in our proposed framework. Results show that the use of this scheme permits almost perfect signal reconstruction with significantly reduced number of measurements which in turn reduces the communication cost, saves energy consumption by the sensor nodes and prolongs the lifetime of the network.","PeriodicalId":143331,"journal":{"name":"2012 IEEE 11th International Conference on Signal Processing","volume":"57 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114862690","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 deterministic analysis and Monte Carlo simulation are utilized in the coexistence studies to getting the relationship curve of protection distance and isolation. In this paper, we designed two topology models which are used in deterministic analysis and Monte Carlo simulation respectively. The simulation parameters of LTE-Hi are given referring to the parameters of other existing indoor wireless communication systems, such as LTE Pico, Femto or WLAN. The simulation results show that it is necessary to add a reasonable protection distance or additional isolation in the co-channel, and the coexistence of the two systems in adjacent channels is feasible.

As the design of transmit beamformers relies heavily on perfect channel state information, channel uncertainties may cause substantial performance degradation. Here we suggest a solution based on a probabilistic constraint approach. The suggested method maximizes the average signal power and keeps leakage power below an acceptable level, leading to an upper bound on signal to leakage noise ratio (SLNR). To solve the underlying problem efficiently, the probabilistic constraint is transformed to a deterministic, convex one through the application of the Markov inequality. Simulation results show that the probabilistic constraint approach provides excellent performance in terms of signal-to-interference and noise ratio (SINR) and bit error rate (BER) for large channel errors and various error distributions.","PeriodicalId":143331,"journal":{"name":"2012 IEEE 11th International Conference on Signal Processing","volume":"49 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117272061","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 HMM based speech synthesis, the modelling and generation of F0 is one of the key difficult factors which differentiate synthesis from recognition. Firstly, this is because F0 values are normally considered as a discontinuous function of time, whose domain is partly continuous and partly discrete. This results in two issues to be addressed in F0 modelling and generation: voiced/unvoiced decision and F0 trajectory. Another important characteristics of F0 is that it is supra-segmental, which means F0 should be modelled beyond the traditional phoneme level. Thirdly, the purpose of F0 modelling is not only for general high quality synthetic speech, but also for effective delivery of expressiveness. This requires explicitly link F0 modelling to (para/non-) linguistic information so that the control of F0 is easy and feasible. This paper reviews the state-of-the-art frameworks to address these issues. Possible future research directions are also discussed.","PeriodicalId":143331,"journal":{"name":"2012 IEEE 11th International Conference on Signal Processing","volume":"17 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122140248","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}

However due to loss of diversity among particles, its tracking performance is not ideal. In order to solve this problem, in this paper, a novel double-layer particle filter is proposed. The particles are divided into two layers: the parent particles and the child particles. The child particles are used to remember the latest state of the parent particles and optimize the parent particles. In addition, only the parent particles are updated during re-sampling while the child particles remain unchanged, which maintains the diversity of the particles to some extent. Finally, the parent particles are used to estimate the state of the object. Experimental results show that the tracking performance of the proposed double-layer particle filter outperforms that of the basic particle filter.","PeriodicalId":143331,"journal":{"name":"2012 IEEE 11th International Conference on Signal Processing","volume":"120-121 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124012172","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}
