In particular, we study the case when the intended recipient of the backscatter information is integrated into the AP. The proposed technique, which relies on the space alternating generalized expectation maximization algorithm, detects the backscatter symbols iteratively, while the channel parameters are updated in parallel, leading to a receiver that also incorporates interference cancellation capabilities. Its performance is evaluated through Monte Carlo simulations.","PeriodicalId":240036,"journal":{"name":"2018 IEEE 19th International Workshop on Signal Processing Advances in Wireless Communications (SPAWC)","volume":"3 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":"126365116","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}

Communication becomes the bottleneck for such distributed framework. In this paper, distributed learning is studied using the approach of coreset. In the context of classification, an algorithm of coreset construction is proposed to reduce the redundancy of data and thus the communication requirement, similarly to source coding in traditional data communications. The coreset based sampling is robust to adversary distribution, thus leading to potential applications in distributed learning systems. Both theoretical and numerical analyses are provided to demonstrate the proposed framework.","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":"124248608","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}

A novel localization algorithm has been recently developed for the synchronization of static sensors [1].

We propose major enhancements of the initial method [1], enabling more realistic scenarios, with moving sources and sensors, in the presence of clock drift. Instead of relying on time-delay measurements only, the proposed method relies also on Doppler-shift measurements.

In this paper, we develop rate maximizing algorithms for the full array-and subarray-based processing strategies of partially connected HBF. We formulate the rate maximization problem as a weighted mean square error minimization problem and use alternating optimization to tackle it. Numerical results show that partially connected HBF provides a good balance between hardware complexity and performance in comparison to optimal fully digital and analog beamforming. Moreover, the simpler subarray-based HBF algorithm achieves comparable performance to that of the full array-based approach in medium and high SNRs. The rate maximizing results serve as upper bounds for lower complexity heuristic methods.","PeriodicalId":240036,"journal":{"name":"2018 IEEE 19th International Workshop on Signal Processing Advances in Wireless Communications (SPAWC)","volume":"29 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":"115076417","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}

Considering imperfect channel state information and hardware impairments at the cellular base station (BS), we focus on the design of beamforming matrices at the cellular system via the minimization of sum mean-squared-errors such that the detection probability of the radar is not affected due to spectrum sharing. The formulated problem is non-convex and hence we convert it into an equivalent semidefinite programming problem and propose an iterative algorithm to find the optimal beamforming matrices. Numerical results verify the eminence of spectrum sharing, albeit certain tradeoffs. In particular, using the spectrum shared by the radar, the FD cellular system can achieve an area throughput of around 4-5 Mbps/m2for a reasonable self-interference cancellation of around-70 dB. However, to facilitate this, while also maintaining a detection probability of around 0.9, the MIMO radar needs to spend an extra power of around 3-4 dB.","PeriodicalId":240036,"journal":{"name":"2018 IEEE 19th International Workshop on Signal Processing Advances in Wireless Communications (SPAWC)","volume":"101 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":"130889038","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}

Most existing studies about ambient backscatter are based on the assumption of single antenna at each tag. In this paper, we show that multiple-antenna tags are practically useful and then investigate signal detection in ambient backscatter communication systems with multiple-antenna tags. Multiple antennas indicate multiple channel parameters between the tag and the reader, which constitutes the main challenge for signal detection because the tag has limited power and can transmit few training symbols. Therefore, we design a blind detector for the reader to recover tag signals without not only all channel state information (CSI) but also the knowledge of RF (radio frequency) signal power and noise variance The optimal antenna selection algorithm is also provided. Finally, we study the performance of the proposed detector by simulation examples.","PeriodicalId":240036,"journal":{"name":"2018 IEEE 19th International Workshop on Signal Processing Advances in Wireless Communications (SPAWC)","volume":"59 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":"131094694","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}
