A closed-form uplink achievable data rate expression is derived considering imperfect channel state information (CSI) and hardware impairments. We formulate an optimization problem to maximize the sum data rate subject to a constraint on the total power consumption. A general power consumption model accounting for the level of hardware impairments is utilized. The optimization variables are the number of base station (BS) antennas and the level of impairments per BS antenna. The resolution of the analog-to-digital converter (ADC) is a primary source of such impairments. The results show the trade-off between the number of BS antennas and the level of hardware impairments, which is important for practical hardware design. Moreover, the maximum power consumption can be tuned to achieve maximum energy efficiency (EE). Numerical results suggest that the optimal level of hardware impairments yields ADCs of 4 to 5 quantization bits.","PeriodicalId":159236,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE Sensor Array and Multichannel Signal Processing Workshop (SAM)","volume":"9 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-09-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133318041","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, for estimators with well-defined asymptotic threshold and virtually identical CRB, we propose to compare the MSE performance using the ZZB-based asymptotic threshold ranking. This method complements the CRB and is easier to compute than the ZZB, providing an efficient tool for preliminary system design.","PeriodicalId":159236,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE Sensor Array and Multichannel Signal Processing Workshop (SAM)","volume":"92 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-09-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122961559","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}

By formulating state estimation as a model-distributed regularized least-squares (MDRLS) problem, we ensure that the state variables and system matrix of each area are hidden from all other areas in order to protect privacy and sensitive information. We present a scheme that solves the primal MDRLS problem using the alternating direction method of multipliers, and a second method that solves the dual problem using a distributed form of the coordinate descent algorithm. Only information related to current measurements on tie-lines linking neighboring areas is exchanged between those areas. The proposed schemes enable the local state estimator in each area to estimate the voltage magnitude and phase angle of each bus in its own control area from phasor measurement units (PMU) without the need for full local PMU-observability. The novelty of the proposed methods is in that they employ the inherently hierarchical architecture of the wide-area monitoring system to perform decentralized state estimation. Our simulation results show that the estimation error of both methods converges to that of the centralized approach.","PeriodicalId":159236,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE Sensor Array and Multichannel Signal Processing Workshop (SAM)","volume":"36 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-09-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133612307","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}

Dirac delta functions are chosen to represent point sources and a Gaussian function approximated from the main beam of the antenna array is selected to capture the extended emissions. We apply the non-negative least squares (NNLS) algorithm to estimate the basis coefficients. It is shown that the sparsity promoted by the NNLS algorithm based on the chosen basis functions results in a super-resolution (finer resolution than prescribed by the main beam of the antenna array pattern) estimate for the point sources and smooth recovery for the extended emissions.","PeriodicalId":159236,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE Sensor Array and Multichannel Signal Processing Workshop (SAM)","volume":"9 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-09-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130233368","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 communication overhead of our proposed detector is low compared to the existing decentralized spectrum sensing algorithms. Moreover, we extend the energy detector to the problem of detecting the number of sources impinging onto a network of sensors.

Therefore stream selection is an important preprocessing to maximize the sum rate. We first show that the problem to select only one stream for networks with single antenna users is NP-hard. Then based on the Total Signal to Total Interference plus Noise Ratio model, the stream selection problem for the general MIMO relay AF network is simplified as a 0-1 quadratic programming. Two stream selection algorithms are proposed. One is to delete streams from the full set and the other is to add streams to the basic set. Simulations show that the two algorithms are efficient to achieve high sum rate in medium to high SNR and in low SNR scenarios, respectively; the model with the stream selection as preprocess well balances between the achieved sum rate and the computational cost.","PeriodicalId":159236,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE Sensor Array and Multichannel Signal Processing Workshop (SAM)","volume":"26 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-07-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125547247","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, the resultant non-convex problem has a different formulation from that of the existing methods for robust beamforming with magnitude response constraints. Thus, existing techniques cannot be applied directly. To cope with this problem, the lower and upper norm bounds of the beamformer weight vector are first derived. The semidefinite relaxation technique is then employed as an approximate solver ending up with a grid search solution.

In this contribution, we develop an analytical first-order performance evaluation of R-D NC Standard Tensor-ESPRIT and R-D NC Unitary Tensor-ESPRIT. The derived expressions are asymptotic in the effective signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), i.e., they become exact for high SNRs or a large sample size. Moreover, apart from a zero mean and finite SO moments, no assumptions on the noise statistics are required. We show that as in the corresponding NC matrix case, the performance of R-D NC Standard Tensor-ESPRIT and R-D NC Unitary Tensor-ESPRIT is asymptotically identical.
