We introduce a protocol capable of achieving the same diversity with bandwidth efficiency essentially equal to 1/2. The protocol is based on linear complex-field coded (LCFC) relay transmissions over orthogonal frequency division multiplexed (OFDM) subcarriers. Cooperators provide diversity by repeating delayed versions of the original packet, thereby generating a frequency-selective multipath channel. The so enabled diversity is collected by standard LCFC-OFDM decoders. Analysis and corroborating simulations establish that the novel protocol achieves diversity order equal to the number of users.","PeriodicalId":281761,"journal":{"name":"1st IEEE International Workshop on Computational Advances in Multi-Sensor Adaptive Processing, 2005.","volume":"29 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2005-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124910799","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 an old problem that has attracted renewed interest in the signal processing community, due to the recent emergence of wireless sensor networks and ad-hoc networks. Sensor maps are useful for estimating the spatial distribution of measured phenomena, as well as for routing purposes. Both centralized and decentralized solutions have been developed, along with ways to cope with missing data, accounting for the reliability of individual measurements, etc. We revisit the basic version of the problem, and propose a two-stage algorithm that combines algebraic initialization and gradient descent. In particular, we borrow an algebraic solution from the database literature and adapt it to the sensor network context, using a specific choice of anchor/pivot nodes. The resulting estimates are fed to gradient descent iteration. The overall algorithm offers better performance at lower complexity than existing centralized full-connectivity solutions. Also, its performance is relatively close to the corresponding Cramer-Rao bound, especially for small values of range error variance.","PeriodicalId":281761,"journal":{"name":"1st IEEE International Workshop on Computational Advances in Multi-Sensor Adaptive Processing, 2005.","volume":"51 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2005-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133084732","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}

Unlike more standard approaches the proposed method assumes that the states change at different and unknown rates compared with the observation process, and hence is able to model parsimoniously the maneuvering behaviour of an object. Furthermore, a Poisson model is used to model both target and clutter measurements, avoiding the data association difficulties associated with traditional tracking approaches. Computer simulations demonstrate the potential of the proposed method for tracking highly maneuverable targets in a hostile environment with high clutter density.","PeriodicalId":281761,"journal":{"name":"1st IEEE International Workshop on Computational Advances in Multi-Sensor Adaptive Processing, 2005.","volume":"32 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2005-09-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125266906","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}

Typically, information concerning ground and air targets is obtained via monostatic radar. Increased information is often equated with increased bandwidth in these radar systems. However, geometric diversity obtained through multistatic radar operations also affords the user the opportunity to obtain additional information concerning threat targets. With the appropriate signal processing, this translates directly into increased probability of detection and reduced probability of false alarm. In the extreme case, only discrete ultra narrow band (UNB) frequencies of operation may be available for both commercial and military applications. With limited spectrum, UNB in the limiting case, the need for geometric diversity becomes imperative. This occurs because the electromagnetic spectrum available for commercial and military radar applications is continuously being eroded while the need for increased information via radio frequency (RF) detection of threat targets is increasing. In addition, geometric diversity improves target position accuracy and image resolution, which would otherwise remain unavailable with monostatic radar.","PeriodicalId":281761,"journal":{"name":"1st IEEE International Workshop on Computational Advances in Multi-Sensor Adaptive Processing, 2005.","volume":"146 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125868509","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}
