The synthetic datasets are often unrealistic in terms of waveforms or protocols, and the raw captures are typically unlabeled (or often mislabeled), and can skew machine learning algorithms to focus on non-salient features. Further, the associated storage and processing requirements are quite large. In this work, a novel dataset generation and augmentation method called policy-based synthesis is presented that aims to address the short-comings of either approach by combining basic protocol knowledge with simulated channel and device impairments to supplement over-the-air captures made in a controlled environment. This method permits the learning of salient features and regularizes radio and device anomalies that are not of interest. Practical considerations for collecting and processing data for this hybridized approach are also detailed and examples are provided on a dataset that includes protocols commonly used in the 2.4 GHz ISM band such as Bluetooth and Wi-Fi.","PeriodicalId":221378,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE Global Conference on Signal and Information Processing (GlobalSIP)","volume":"48 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126933941","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 most representative model is Speech Enhancement Generative Adversarial Network (SEGAN). However, eliminating the noise without distortion is still a challenging task especially in a low SNR environment. To solve such problems, this paper proposes Speech Enhancement Multi-scale Generative Adversarial Networks (SEMGAN), whose generator and discriminator networks are structured on the basis of fully convolutional neural networks (FCNNs). Compared with SEGAN, the generator generates speeches in three different dimensions and makes multiple judgments in the discriminator. In addition, multiple types of noise and signal-noise ratios (SNRs) are used to train our model for improving the generalization capability. In the stage of testing, we further propose pre- SEMGAN, which solve the problem that the last frame of speech data was not processed well. As the experimental results indicated, the architecture (SEMGAN and pre- SEMGAN) proposed gain a superior performance in comparison with the optimally modified log-spectral amplitude estimator (OMLSA) and SEGAN in different noisy conditions. It is worth mentioning that SEMGAN's PESQ and STOI score increase about 7% and 3.6% over SEGAN respectively in the case of 2.5 dB SNR.","PeriodicalId":221378,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE Global Conference on Signal and Information Processing (GlobalSIP)","volume":"52 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127265651","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}

This is achieved by constellation perturbation at the encoder, similarly to adversarial attacks against classifiers in machine learning. In image classification, the perturbation is limited to be imperceptible to a human observer, while in our case the perturbation is constrained so that the message can still be reliably decoded by a legitimate receiver that is oblivious to the perturbation. Simulation results demonstrate the viability of our approach to make wireless communication secure against both state-of-the-art deep-learning- and decision-tree-based intruders with minimal sacrifice in the communication performance.","PeriodicalId":221378,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE Global Conference on Signal and Information Processing (GlobalSIP)","volume":"8 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125046505","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}

E-LFDRs are multicarrier wave-forms whose carriers are spaced according to an Extended Golomb Ruler after a logarithmic warping of the frequency axis. The multiplicative Doppler shift additively translates the waveform’s logarithmically warped spectrum, which allows simultaneous signal detection and Doppler shift estimation via convolutional matched filtering of the logarithmically warped power spectrum. We propose to use these waveforms for communications by phase modulating the carriers and using the estimated Doppler shift to adjust a pilot tone time domain matched filter for fine symbol synchronization. The synchronized waveform is then sent to a communications module for symbol decoding. This paper gives an example of these waveforms, details their design, illustrates a receiver, and explores their bit error rate in AWGN and multipath.","PeriodicalId":221378,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE Global Conference on Signal and Information Processing (GlobalSIP)","volume":"23 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128251901","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}

However, the implementation of a fully digital system significantly increases the number of required radio-frequency (RF) chains, which may be prohibitive. Thus, analog beamforming based on a phase-shifting network driven by a variable gain amplifier (VGA) is a potential alternative technology. In this paper, we cast the beamforming vector design problem as a beampattern matching problem, with an unknown power gain. This is formulated as a unit-modulus leastsquares (ULS) problem where the optimal gain of the VGA is also designed in addition to the beamforming vector. We also consider a scenario where the receivers have the additional processing capability to adjust the phases of the incoming signals to mitigate specular multipath components. We propose efficient majorization-minimization (MM) based algorithms with convergence guarantees to a stationary point for solving both variants of the proposed ULS problem.

A high quality solution requires a worker to exert effort; a platform can motivate such effort exertion and truthful reporting by providing a reward. We propose a novel rewarding mechanism based on using a truth detection technology, which can verify the correctness of workers’ responses to questions with an imperfect accuracy (e.g., questions regarding whether the workers exert effort finishing the tasks and whether they truthfully report their solutions). We model the interactions between the platform and workers as a two-stage Stackelberg game. In Stage I, the platform optimizes the reward design associated with truth detection to maximize its payoff. In Stage II, the workers decide their effort levels and reporting strategies to maximize their payoffs (which depend on the output of the truth detection). We analyze the game’s equilibrium and show that as the truth detection accuracy improves, the platform should incentivize more workers to exert effort finishing the tasks and truthfully report their solutions. Moreover, our mechanism performs well even when the detection accuracy is not very high. A 60% accurate detection can yield a platform payoff that is more than 85% of the maximum achieved under perfect (100% accurate) detection.","PeriodicalId":221378,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE Global Conference on Signal and Information Processing (GlobalSIP)","volume":"6 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129570966","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}
