Modern direct position determination (DPD) methods have since superseded the performance of two-step methods in low signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) environments. However, the current DPD literature has neglected the use of RSS information to enhance localization accuracy, despite its prevalence in predecessor two-step methods. As signal strength information is always present at receiver nodes, regardless of operating hardware, this information could be used to better estimate emitter position. We propose an RSS method as applied to spatially distributed receiver arrays incorporating beamforming. Monte Carlo simulations show improved accuracy at medium to high SNR as compared to methods exploiting only time and angle information, while having reduced performance at very low SNR.","PeriodicalId":296346,"journal":{"name":"2023 IEEE Statistical Signal Processing Workshop (SSP)","volume":"9 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-07-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123760902","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}

In this paper, we focus on the model parameter estimation of GARCH based on the Gaussian maximum likelihood estimation method. Due to the recursively coupling nature of parameters in GARCH, the optimization problem is highly non-convex. In this paper, we propose a novel algorithm based on the block majorization-minimization algorithmic framework, which can take care of the per-block variable structures for efficient problem solving. Numerical experiments demonstrate that the proposed algorithm can achieve comparable and even better performance in terms of parameter estimation errors. More importantly, estimated parameters from our algorithm always guarantee a stationary model, which is a desirable property in time series volatility modeling.","PeriodicalId":296346,"journal":{"name":"2023 IEEE Statistical Signal Processing Workshop (SSP)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-07-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129593548","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}

Next, a novel multiple measurement vector (MMV)-based Bayesian learning (MBL) algorithm is proposed for mmWave MIMO channel estimation in JRC systems. Subsequently, these quantities are employed at the dual-functional radar-communication (DFRC) base station (BS) and at the user equipment (UE) toward successful data transmission and detection, respectively. The proposed techniques exploit the sparsity inherent in the radar scattering environment and the simultaneous sparsity of the wireless channel across all the subcarriers for improved performance.

Firstly, top-view and body-view images of the starfruit are captured, and image processing techniques, conical frustum method are employed to find the volume based on the area ratio of star shape area over its bounding box and volume of multiple pieces along the longitudinal axis. Then, the density of the starfruit is used to estimate its mass.

In order to tackle this challenge, we propose a two-stage neural network-based architecture that can accurately detect face masks in crowded environments.

As an alternative to convolutions, we investigate the use of convolutions with an attention mechanism in a video question answering task. We present a unique self-attention mechanism based on convolutions that outperforms convolutions in the video question answering task. We discovered that combining convolutions with self-attention produces the greatest outcomes in experiments. As a result, we propose a hybrid idea, which combines convolutional operators with the self-attention mechanism. We combine convolutional feature maps with self-attention feature maps.

A non-cooperative game is designed to obtain the solution to the clustering problem; a genetic algorithm, which is powerful in the scenario of many variables, is employed to obtain the optimal solution to the high-complexity caching problem; and a quick estimation technique is used for power allocation.
