In this paper, we propose a simplified matrix polynomial-aided block diagonalization (SMP-BD) precoding scheme to simplify the conventional block diagonalization (BD) type precoding schemes for users with multiple antennas. By replacing the singular value decomposition (SVD) operation with a matrix inversion, which is then approximated by matrix polynomials with optimized coefficients, SMP-BD is shown to be hardware-efficient, reduce the transmission overhead and obtain high performance. The optimized coefficients can be calculated offline and the convergence of the matrix polynomials is guaranteed. Simulations show that SMP-BD with polynomial order L = 3 performs close to previously reported algorithms based on matrix inversions, while being much simpler.","PeriodicalId":159236,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE Sensor Array and Multichannel Signal Processing Workshop (SAM)","volume":"10 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":"127877818","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}

A large body of literature is devoted to the barycentre of a set of points in Pm and the concept of barycentre has become essential to many applications and procedures, for instance classification of SPD matrices. However this concept is often used alone in order to define and characterize a set of points. Less attention is paid to the characterization of the shape of samples in the manifold, or to the definition of a probabilistic model, to represent the statistical variability of data in Pm. Here we consider Gaussian distributions and mixtures of Gaussian distributions on Pm. In particular we deal with parameter estimation of such distributions. This problem, while it is simple in the manifold P2, becomes harder for higher dimensions, since there are some quantities involved whose analytic expression is difficult to derive. In this paper we introduce a smooth estimate of these quantities using convex cubic splines, and we show that in this case the parameters estimate is coherent with theoretical results. We also present some simulations and a real EEG data analysis.","PeriodicalId":159236,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE Sensor Array and Multichannel Signal Processing Workshop (SAM)","volume":"19 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":"126480252","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}

We assume a simple uniform linear array (ULA) and propose to employ a multiple delay channel network at every sensor, which can easily be realized by sampling at a slightly higher rate. By combining the outputs of the ULA and the delay network, we show that the manifold matrix is analogous to that of a uniform rectangular array, and hence we appropriately refer to this array as the space-time array. Further, estimation of parameters via the rotational invariance technique (ESPRIT) based algorithm referred to as space-time (ST)-Euler-ESPRIT is proposed. ST-Euler-ESPRIT, similar to well known unitary-ESPRIT provides automatically paired frequencies and their DOAs. We further show that with the proposed approach for a M element ULA and with N-1 delay channel, O(MN) frequencies and their DOAs can be estimated. The performance of ST-Euler-ESPRIT is verified by simulations, where it shows consistently better performance than the unitary-ESPRIT algorithm under noisy conditions.","PeriodicalId":159236,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE Sensor Array and Multichannel Signal Processing Workshop (SAM)","volume":"13 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":"122301900","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}

Diffeomorphisms are used to model the time warping operators. We derive an algorithm that extracts all sources and diffeomorphism in the model and show successful simulations, giving a proof of concept that subject variability can be tackled with tensor modeling.","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":"131215420","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, the benefit from the range information is used to distinguish between fall and non-fall motions with similar Doppler features. We also examine the effects of the aspect angle on fall detection.

Many studies in the EW (Electronic Warfare) field are being carried out to deal with this LPI radar advantage. One promising approach is the employment by ESM equipments of time-frequency transform methods to find causality in the spectrum's noise. This paper applies the WPT (Wavelet Packets Transform) to the matter of generating a portrait of the electromagnetic spectrum, aiming the milestone for an automatic classification method. We compare the time-frequency portrait of FM LPI radar signals obtained through the WPT and the well-known Choi-Williams and Fourier transforms.
