An important problem here is to reduce the computational complexity of the EVD of the complex-valued sample data covariance matrix. In this paper, we show that the complexity of the prewhitening step for complex-valued signals can be reduced approximately by a factor of four when the real-valued EVD is used instead of the complex-valued. Such complexity reduction can be achieved for any axis-symmetric array. For such class of arrays it enables real-time implementation of the prewhitening step for complex-valued signals.

This sparsity can be achieved approximately by a data preprocessing step that causes the effect of each underlying variable to be seen in only one component of the preprocessed observation vectors.

In block transmission systems, such as those that utilize the frequency domain to facilitate channel equalization, short training sequences known as unique words (UWs) can be inserted into the data stream, thus providing a means for estimating and tracking the state of the channel. The problem of designing the UWs can be difficult when certain constraints are placed on the sequences. In this paper, a nonlinear optimization approach is taken to design near-optimal UWs under given constraints, such as a limit on the peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR) of the sequences.

Otherwise, recovered sequential factors would be distorted. Shifted and warped factor analyses (SFA and WFA) explicitly fit such measurement-sequence inconsistency. Warped image factor analysis (WIFA) combines two ideas: (a) fitting systematic shape variation of image factors, and (b) decomposing many 2D images into a few image factors. WIFA allows image factors to change shape independently, unlike what is assumed in a data-level adjustment: synchronized shape changes of image factors. The latent-level shape variation modeled in WIFA seems to make recovered factors \"unique\" in some two-way cases, as in SFA and WFA. The shape variation of image factors is parameterized as bilinear warping of segmented images. A quasi-ALS (alternating least squares) algorithm for WIFA is described, which uses alternating regression for factor weights and nonlinear optimization for warping-size parameters.

During training phase (in peace time or at a safe place or range), intermittent appearance of a target on IRST display can be recorded in a temporal array. Corresponding intermittent appearance on radar will also be recorded on another array. Treating IRST array as horizontal array and radar array as vertical one, these two binary arrays will be made bipolar by replacing 0s with 1s and multiplied and square or rectangular arrays obtained. A large number of sets can be obtained like this representing the entire representative situations and corresponding square matrices added to form a general weight matrix. Data corresponding to the intermittent appearances of targets and other objects on radar display will be kept in the forms of binary arrays as database. In application phase, if a target is detected through the radar at the maximum range where target appears on the IRST display, radar can be switched off. IRST display will show intermittent appearances of the target, which may be difficult to track or even to discriminate from nearby bird or far off planet/star. The data collected for a number of frames for a single target's estimated intermittent appearance will be stored in an array as binary data. This binary array will be multiplied with the general weight matrix and resulting vertical matrix after thresholding represents an estimated radar data. This approximated radar binary array can be compared with stored radar representations and nearest class can be declared the class of the object present in the scene. As a further improvement, this whole experiment can be performed in a peaceful condition and the estimated radar representation obtained can be compared with exact radar representation and error calculated. Another neural model (like multilayer perceptron) can be used to provide a feedback to correct the errors in the radar estimation. The process basically works as an adaptive filter and predicts a radar array corresponding to the IRST array. The success of the algorithm depends on the training (selecting representative situations) and the implementation methods. Optical implementation with optical associative memories can also be experimented for faster processing.","PeriodicalId":281761,"journal":{"name":"1st IEEE International Workshop on Computational Advances in Multi-Sensor Adaptive Processing, 2005.","volume":"47 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2005-12-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117281124","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}

If SDMA is used on the downlink of a multi-user MIMO system, either long-term or short-term channel state information has to be available at the base station (BS) to faciliate the joint precoding of the signals intended for the different users. Precoding is used to efficiently eliminate or suppress multi-user interference (MUI) via beamforming or by using ”dirty-paper” codes. It also allows us to perform most of the complex processing at the BS which leads to a simplification of the mobile terminals. In this paper, we provide an overview of efficient linear and non-linear precoding techniques for multi-user MIMO systems. The performance of these techniques is assessed via simulations on statistical channel models, and on channels generated by the IlmProp, a geometry-based channel model that generates realistic correlations in space, time, and frequency.","PeriodicalId":281761,"journal":{"name":"1st IEEE International Workshop on Computational Advances in Multi-Sensor Adaptive Processing, 2005.","volume":"45 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2005-12-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133589848","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}
