It occurs when the satellite signals are reflected on obstacles before reaching the GPS receiver, corrupting the satellite-receiver distance measurements. In recent works, Bayesian non parametric (BNP) models of the measurement errors in the presence of multipath were considered. The latter were assumed to be distributed according to an a priori infinite mixture of Gaussian probability density functions. However, the errors were considered temporally white. This assumption does not hold in practice. In this paper, we extend the proposed BNP formalism to the case of time-correlated errors. For this purpose, we model the correlated measurement errors as an infinite mixture of autoregressive processes. Then, the on-line joint estimation of the navigation variables, the correlated measurement errors and their parameters from the GPS measurements is performed by particle filtering.","PeriodicalId":159236,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE Sensor Array and Multichannel Signal Processing Workshop (SAM)","volume":"1 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":"129118738","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 present a formulation for this problem consisting on an optimization of a cost function having a fitting term to explain the observations with the dynamics of the system, and a sparsity promoting penalty term, in order to select the paths actually used. The formulation is tested on two publicly available real datasets on US aviation and NY taxi traffic, showing the importance of the problem and the applicability of the proposed framework.","PeriodicalId":159236,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE Sensor Array and Multichannel Signal Processing Workshop (SAM)","volume":"99 7 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":"123126344","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 effect, the proposed method introduces a new elementary delay strategy which keeps all the row (column) shifts in the same direction throughout each iteration, which therefore gives us the flexibility to control the polynomial order growth by selecting shifts that ensure non-zero coefficients are kept closer to the zero-lag plane. Simulation results confirm that further order reductions of polynomial matrices can be achieved by using this direction-fixed delay strategy for the MS-SBR2 algorithm.","PeriodicalId":159236,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE Sensor Array and Multichannel Signal Processing Workshop (SAM)","volume":"1 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":"133447775","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}

Recently, considerable attention has been devoted to high-speed trains since this particular environment poses challenging problems in terms of performance simulation and measurement. In order to considerably decrease the cost and complexity of high-speed measurement campaigns, we have proposed a technique to induce effects caused by highly-time varying channels on multicarrier signals by conducting measurements at low speeds. This technique has been proved to be accurate for the cases of WiMAX and Long Term Evolution (LTE) standardized waveforms. In this work, we evaluate experimentally the performance of this technique by employing modulation schemes proposed for fifth generation (5G) systems. More specifically, we compare the performance obtained by transmitting Filter Bank Multicarrier (FBMC) schemes with two different prototype filters at different velocities in a controlled measurement environment.","PeriodicalId":159236,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE Sensor Array and Multichannel Signal Processing Workshop (SAM)","volume":"69 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":"131535054","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 partial CSIT is in the form of downlink angles of departure (AoDs) and the amplitudes of the strongest paths of each UE. By exploiting the reciprocity between downlink AoDs and uplink angles of arrival (AoAs), the partial CSIT can be acquired through downlink training and uplink feedback effectively. Therefore, the feasibility of FDD massive MIMO systems is greatly enhanced.

While there exist landmark papers on the study of the CRB in the context of array processing, the closed-form expressions available in the literature are not easy to use in the context of sparse arrays (such as minimum redundancy arrays (MRAs), nested arrays, or coprime arrays) for which the number of identifiable sources D exceeds the number of sensors N. Under such situations, the existing literature does not spell out the conditions under which the Fisher information matrix is nonsingular, or the condition under which specific closed-form expressions for the CRB remain valid. This paper derives a new expression for the CRB to fill this gap. The conditions for validity of this expression are expressed as the rank condition of a matrix defined based on the difference coarray. The rank condition and the closed-form expression lead to a number of new insights. For example, it is possible to prove the previously known experimental observation that, when there are more sources than sensors, the CRB stagnates to a constant value as the SNR tends to infinity.","PeriodicalId":159236,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE Sensor Array and Multichannel Signal Processing Workshop (SAM)","volume":"45 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":"130043895","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}
