Except from treating interference as noise (IAN) one usually has to optimize jointly over the achievable rates and transmit powers. This non-convexity is normally only due to the transmit powers while the rates are linear. Conventional approaches like the Polyblock Algorithm treat all variables equally and, thus, require a two layer solver to exploit the linearity in the rates and keep the computational complexity at a reasonable level. In this paper, we develop a branch and bound algorithm that exploits most of the problem structure and, compared to previous algorithms, has significantly better performance, improved numerical stability and provides a feasible solution even if terminated prematurely. We employ this novel algorithm to study throughput optimal power allocation in a multi-way relay channel with simultaneous non-unique decoding (SND) and rate splitting (RS) encoders. We evaluate the performance gains of RS over “pure” SND and IAN numerically. While SND often achieves significantly higher throughput than IAN, the benefits of rate splitting are not that pronounced on average and largely depend on the channel condition.","PeriodicalId":240036,"journal":{"name":"2018 IEEE 19th International Workshop on Signal Processing Advances in Wireless Communications (SPAWC)","volume":"135 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131820860","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}

Both the user data rate and the total delay consisting of baseband processing and fron-transmission are guaranteed. To reduce the optimization complexity, we further derive the upper and lower bounds of the optimal number of UAVs. Numerical results show that, with flexible functional split, the energy consumption of UAVs can be considerably reduced compared with fixed functional split.

To tackle this, solutions based on low resolution Analog-to-Digital Converters (ADCs) / Digital-to-Analog Converters (DACs) have been developed in the literature where they mainly propose quantized versions of typical channel dependent linear precoding solutions. Alternatively, nonlinear Symbol level Precoding techniques have been recently proposed for downlink Multi User (MU)-MIMO systems with low resolution DACs that achieve significantly improved performance in several cases. The existing SLP approaches support only DACs of 1-bit resolution which result in significant performance degradations, especially when constellations with order greater than 4 are employed. To that end, in this work a novel SLP approach is developed that supports systems with DACs of any resolution and it is applicable for any type of constellation. As it is verified by the presented numerical results, the proposed approach exhibits significantly improved performance when constellations with order greater than 4 are employed and require reduced computational complexity, compared to the existing solutions for the 1-bit DAC case.","PeriodicalId":240036,"journal":{"name":"2018 IEEE 19th International Workshop on Signal Processing Advances in Wireless Communications (SPAWC)","volume":"51 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130351246","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}

Extending these schemes for minimum mean square error (MMSE) precoding is not trivial due to the hardware constraints of the energy efficient user terminal architecture. In this paper, we adapt the MMSE precoder to the low complexity RSM architecture and develop detection methods for the spatial and modulation symbols.

The mmWave channel, however, makes reliable communications particularly challenging, given the harsh propagation environment and the sensitivity to blockage. Therefore, proper modeling of the mmWave channel is fundamental for accurate results in system simulations of mmWave cellular networks. Nonetheless, complex models, such as the 3GPP channel model for frequencies above 6 GHz, may introduce a significant overhead in terms of computational complexity. In this paper we investigate the trade offs related to the accuracy and the simplicity of the channel model in end-to-end network simulations, and the impact on the performance evaluation of transport protocols.","PeriodicalId":240036,"journal":{"name":"2018 IEEE 19th International Workshop on Signal Processing Advances in Wireless Communications (SPAWC)","volume":"21 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122973027","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}

To leverage the sparsity of mmWave MIMO channels in the beam domain, we use discrete Fourier transform (DFT) precoding and combining and recast the channel estimation problem as a compressed sensing (CS) problem. The generalized approximate message passing (GAMP) algorithm is then used to find the minimum mean square estimate (MMSE) of each entry of the unknown mmWave MIMO channel matrix. Unlike the existing works, this paper models the angular-domain channel coefficients by a Laplacian prior and accordingly establishes the closed-form expressions for all the statistical quantities that need to be updated iteratively by GAMP. Further, to render the proposed algorithm fully automated, we develop an expectation-maximization (EM)-based procedure which can be readily embedded within GAMP's iteration loop in order to learn the unknown scale parameter of the underlying Laplacian prior along with the noise variance. Numerical results indicate that the proposed EM-GAMP algorithm under a Laplacian prior yields substantial improvements both in terms of channel estimation accuracy and computational complexity as compared to the existing methods that advocate a Gaussian mixture (GM) prior.","PeriodicalId":240036,"journal":{"name":"2018 IEEE 19th International Workshop on Signal Processing Advances in Wireless Communications (SPAWC)","volume":"0 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121875435","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}

Such scheme, offers the possibility of simple, frequency-domain multiple access (due to FSK), by appropriate selection of the switching frequencies among (possibly receiverless) tags, while reserving bandwidth (due to OOK). A constant envelope-modulated ambient signal is assumed to illuminate the tag, resembling signals from (analog) FM radio, (digital) minimum-shift keying (MSK), or phase-shift keying (PSK) broadcasting stations. Fully coherent, maximum likelihood (ML) detection is derived for tag information, without estimating or detecting the ambient signal; instead, the law of large numbers is exploited, in conjunction with channel estimation techniques, even though the ambient unknown signal changes between successive tag bits. Closed-form expression for the probability of error is also given and simulations verify theoretical results. Ambient is a special case of bistatic backscatter; thus, useful design principles for ambient systems can stem from the bistatic backscatter literature.","PeriodicalId":240036,"journal":{"name":"2018 IEEE 19th International Workshop on Signal Processing Advances in Wireless Communications (SPAWC)","volume":"27 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123935094","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 method leverages the entropy constraint and delay compensation for dictionary learning. Using the proposed method for delay compensation in seismic data squeezes more redundancy out of the data which results in a sparser representation for a given dictionary. The objective of entropy constraint term in dictionary learning is to make the sparse coefficients tailored to the compression objective. To solve the above hybrid dictionary learning problem, delay-compensated and entropy-constrained dictionary learning is developed and alternating scheme is proposed for optimization. Furthermore, an offline-training-online-testing way is adopted for the proposed dictionary learning scheme in the seismic data compression.
