Relying on the widely-used dynamic motion model for arbitrary moving targets, tracking of moving objects can be formulated using received signal strength (RSS) measurements. We provide a closed-form solution that integrates localization and filtering for both an ideal channel as well as noisy channel. We first derive an exact linear model from the non-linear system of equations provided by the RSS measurements. We subsequently present an iterative method to estimate the unknown parameters and the error covariance matrix. Moreover, we prove that the estimator gives more accuracy when the number of samples increases. The Cramer-Rao bound (CRB) for the estimator are determined in Gaussian case. Computer simulation demonstrates that the proposed approach not only achieves more accuracy than traditional methods but also saves significant computation time.","PeriodicalId":197154,"journal":{"name":"2008 IEEE 9th Workshop on Signal Processing Advances in Wireless Communications","volume":"22 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-07-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133133312","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 receive filter is the first function after the Analog-to-Digital converter and is for that reason one of the most computation intensive parts in a receiver. The proposed filter architecture measures the out-of-band interference and calculates the required attenuation, which is used to select the appropriate filter. To assess the advantages of this on-demand receive filter, we have carried out field strength measurements in the UMTS FDD downlink band (2.1 GHz). These measurements were carried out in Amsterdam, a dense urban area with 5 active UMTS operators. Our measurement results show that in a live network configuration there is almost no out-of-band interference. Moreover, an on-demand filter would save in this case more than 68% power compared to a fixed conventional receive filter.","PeriodicalId":197154,"journal":{"name":"2008 IEEE 9th Workshop on Signal Processing Advances in Wireless Communications","volume":"7 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-07-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129638250","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}

Multiple tiers of interference are considered and using an average path loss approximation model the analytical result for the per cell sum-rate capacity is found. We examine the various parameters that are affecting the capacity of the system. Especially the effect of the user distribution across the cells and the density of the cells in the cellular system is investigated.

Despite their relevance, these two systems have only been simultaneously studied employing finite user population models and considering perfect detection of the active users, which are assumptions only useful in scenarios with low numbers of users and high values of the SNR. The purpose of this paper is to introduce an infinite user population model, valid for scenarios with large numbers of users and finite traffic loads, which allows us to extend the available results on ALOHA MPR protocols to systems that use retransmission diversity (RD). Unlike existing approaches our model includes both the effects of packet decoding errors and the effects of imperfect detection of the active users, which considerably affect the performance of conventional NDMA systems in finite SNR environments. Additionally, the proposed model provides a better approximation to the queuing delay of NDMA protocols than the conventional formula of an M/G/1 queue with vacations. Finally, the proposed algorithm also represents an extension and generalization of contention binary tree algorithms assisted by signal processing tools such as SICTA (successive interference cancellation tree algorithm) and other algorithms assisted by source separation. The benefits of the proposed model are assessed using simulation and analytic results.","PeriodicalId":197154,"journal":{"name":"2008 IEEE 9th Workshop on Signal Processing Advances in Wireless Communications","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-07-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132170051","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, hard quantized observations based on sign of innovation (SOI) were used to perform optimal distributed filtering involving thus the SOI Kalman filter (KF)/extended KF (EKF) [1]. In this paper, a SOI-particle filter (SOIPF) is derived to enhance the performance of the distributed estimation procedure. On one hand, the use of the particle filter avoids the imperative linearization in the EKF and on the other hand it guarantees a part of optimality for nonlinear/non Gaussian state models. The SOIPF proposed in this paper is applied in the target tracking context. The experimental results obtained for different simulations demonstrate the good tracking ability of the SOIPF compared to the SOIEKF as well as the consistency of the so given trajectory estimate.","PeriodicalId":197154,"journal":{"name":"2008 IEEE 9th Workshop on Signal Processing Advances in Wireless Communications","volume":"7 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-07-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116449619","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}

Using the first order statistics of the received signal, the proposed algorithm is carried out without aided data. The synchronization parameter and nuisance ones are separated from each other on account of the structure of the Vandermonde matrix, and their estimates are obtained by one-dimensional searching according to the orthogonality among vectors. During the searching process, relative path delays and attenuations come out as by-products. Most importantly, the proposed algorithm has a very low complexity, because the computational requirements are determined mainly by simple additions and inner products among vectors. Simulations and comparisons are performed to illustrate the promising performance of the proposed algorithm.","PeriodicalId":197154,"journal":{"name":"2008 IEEE 9th Workshop on Signal Processing Advances in Wireless Communications","volume":"36 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-07-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115347864","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}

Achievable rates are optimized with respect to the transmitted powers and with respect to the fraction of time/bandwidth allocated to the relay-receive and the relay-transmit phases. Different transmission strategies associated to different complexities at the receivers are considered. For each case we take into account either the synchronous or asynchronous transmission of the terminals, depending on the availability of channel state information (CSI) in transmission from all links. We find that all the cases can be formulated as a unique convex problem, and we compare the achievable rates thus obtained. We finally derive under which conditions the use of two DF relays brings significant gains over the use of one.","PeriodicalId":197154,"journal":{"name":"2008 IEEE 9th Workshop on Signal Processing Advances in Wireless Communications","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-07-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121191023","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}
