Diffusion-based algorithms have been demonstrated to be among the most effective for distributed signal processing problems, through the combination of local node estimate updates and sharing of information with neighbour nodes through diffusion. In this work, we develop a serial-inspired approach based on message-passing strategies that provides a significant improvement in performance over prior art. The concept of serial processing in the graph has been successfully applied in sum-product based algorithms and here provides inspiration for an algorithm which makes use of the most up-to-date information in the graph in combination with the diffusion approach to offer improved performance.","PeriodicalId":159236,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE Sensor Array and Multichannel Signal Processing Workshop (SAM)","volume":"114 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":"124786166","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}

Arrays with such ideal structures, such as a centro-hermitian structure, are often hard to build in practice. Array interpolation is used to enable the usage of these techniques with imperfect (not having a centro-hermitian structure) arrays. Most interpolation methods rely on methods based on least squares (LS) to map the output of a perfect virtual array based on the real array. In this work, the usage of Multivariate Adaptive Regression Splines (MARS) is proposed instead of the traditional LS to interpolate arrays with responses largely different from the ideal.","PeriodicalId":159236,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE Sensor Array and Multichannel Signal Processing Workshop (SAM)","volume":"43 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":"116326002","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}

Because of the upward trend in the elderly for continued independent living, there is a growing need for reliable fall detectors that can enable prompt assistance in case of falls. Doppler radar technology offers a number of desirable attributes for realization of fall detection and health monitoring systems that can facilitate self-dependent living. Human motions generate changes in Doppler frequencies that can be accurately captured using time-frequency representations. A variety of time-frequency distributions have been proposed in the literature. In this paper, we investigate the impact of different time-frequency representations on the performance of a deep neural network based fall detector. Using real data, we demonstrate that the choice of data representation in the time-frequency domain is important for enhancing the accuracy of the fall detector.","PeriodicalId":159236,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE Sensor Array and Multichannel Signal Processing Workshop (SAM)","volume":"6 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":"124535487","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}

Contrary to the existing approaches the proposed algorithm can deal equally with real or complex-valued matrices without any modifications. The algorithm is based on the algebraic polar decomposition which allows to make the optimization step directly with complex parameters. Furthermore, both factorization matrices are estimated jointly. This “coupled” approach allows us to limit the numerical complexity of the algorithm. We then show with the help of numerical simulations that this approach is suitable for tensors canonical polyadic decomposition.","PeriodicalId":159236,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE Sensor Array and Multichannel Signal Processing Workshop (SAM)","volume":"31 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":"126448282","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}

Although some efforts have been spent to reduce such an overhead in recent works, the reduction is still limited. More recently, some precoding methods that do not require downlink training and channel state information (CSI) feedback have been proposed by recognizing some similarity between uplink and downlink channels. The base station may take advantage of such similarity and acquire partial knowledge of the downlink channels using previous uplink channel estimates. In this paper, we propose to further exploit the diversity of a multipath channel in a downlink precoding method without CSI feedback. Specifically, space-time block code (STBC) is applied to enhance the robustness of downlink transmission based on the partial CSI at the transmitter (CSI-T). Simulation results suggest that the proposed method achieves a competitive performance to other methods with only the partial CSI-T.","PeriodicalId":159236,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE Sensor Array and Multichannel Signal Processing Workshop (SAM)","volume":"83 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":"133384864","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}

Although the literature on non-linear state estimation using Gaussian sum filters is rich, its widely-linear counterpart which incorporates the full second-order statistics of the system and can potentially cope with non-Gaussian/non-circular measurements, have not yet been investigated in the literature. The paper addresses this gap. The WL/GSF resolves the computational burden of the Gaussian sum approach by incorporating a collapsing step. The number of components in the WL/GSF is controlled adaptively at each step utilizing a Bayesian learning technique to collapse, in an intelligent way, the resulting non-Gaussian sum mixture to an equivalent Gaussian term. Simulation results provided as proof of concepts and show that the proposed WL/GSF algorithm outperforms its counterparts in non-linear filtering problems with non-circular and non-Gaussian observations.","PeriodicalId":159236,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE Sensor Array and Multichannel Signal Processing Workshop (SAM)","volume":"9 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":"114305206","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}
