An efficient hybrid strategy is proposed, where the analog beamforming matrices are determined using a channel matching criterion while the digital beamforming consists of pre-filters and post-filters. The digital post-filters are computed using traditional linear MU-MIMO strategies together with water-filling based power allocation using the effective channels. Simulation results show that the proposed hybrid analog-digital solutions achieve a good performance compared to their corresponding unconstrained digital solutions.","PeriodicalId":159236,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE Sensor Array and Multichannel Signal Processing Workshop (SAM)","volume":"14 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":"126613354","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}

Conditional to observed data, the bases and the mixing process are learnt using a parametric approximation based on pseudo-observations, where the complexity and accuracy of the method are controlled by the number of pseudo-observations (Nx and Nh). The resulting model is linear the pseudo-observations, and its likelihood function has a complexity O(NNhNx), Nx <; N, Nh ≪ N, which is lower than that of the standard GP O(N3) - where N is the number of observations. We validate the proposed approach using synthetic data, where we recovered latent GPs with five different kernels from noisy observations; and using a real-world heart-rate signal to assess the proposed model's computational complexity and performance.","PeriodicalId":159236,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE Sensor Array and Multichannel Signal Processing Workshop (SAM)","volume":"48 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":"128129288","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 presence of residual frequency offsets (FO), standard SAIC/MAIC receivers lose their efficiency and have to be extended using WL frequency shifted (FRESH) filtering, which has been done recently. However, in practice the observations are low-pass filtered before sampling and processing, which may degrade the performance. In this context, the purpose of the paper is twofold. The first one is to extend the previous pseudo MLSE-based WL FRESH receiver, for sources with differential FO, to observations which are low-pass filtered. The second one is to analyze, both analytically and by simulations, the impact of the low-pass filtering on the performance of the extended pseudo MLSE-based WL FRESH receiver.","PeriodicalId":159236,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE Sensor Array and Multichannel Signal Processing Workshop (SAM)","volume":"32 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":"125873180","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}

Since the performance of the algorithm depends on the mismatch between the target and the proposal densities, a set of proposals is often iteratively adapted in order to reduce the variance of the resulting estimator. In this paper, we review several well-known adaptive population importance samplers, providing a unified common framework and classifying them according to the nature of their estimation and adaptive procedures. Furthermore, we interpret the underlying motivation for the different adaptation schemes, opening the door for novel and more efficient algorithms.
