The AF beamforming weights are derived to maximize the received signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) subject to a constraint over the nodes' total transmit power. We verify that the so-obtained SNR-optimal AF beamformer (OB) implementation requires from the small-battery powered WSN nodes a prohibitive power cost. Exploiting the polychromatic structure of scattered channels, we develop a novel polychromatic (i.e., multi-ray) distributed AF beamformer (P-DB) that performs nearly as well as OB while requiring much less power consumption at each node. Furthermore, we prove that the proposed P-DB always outperforms two other benchmarks: the monochromatic (i.e., single-ray) DB (M-DB) which neglects scattering, and the bichromatic (i.e., two-ray) DB (B-DB) which relies on an efficient polychromatic channel approximation by two rays that is valid for small angular spreads (AS).","PeriodicalId":315977,"journal":{"name":"2017 IEEE 7th International Workshop on Computational Advances in Multi-Sensor Adaptive Processing (CAMSAP)","volume":"38 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121825795","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}

We seek the optimum sparse array that is robust to the source angular bias, enabling the output signal-to-noise ratio or signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio to be minimally degraded.

They can outperform many particle filter implementations when the state dimension is high or when the measurements are highly informative. Instead of employing importance sampling, the particles are migrated by numerically solving differential equations that describe a flow from the prior to the posterior at each time step. An analytical solution for the flow equation requires a Gaussian assumption for both the prior and the posterior. Recently Khan et al. [1] devised an approximate flow that could address the case when the prior is represented by a Gaussian Mixture Model (GMM) and the likelihood function is Gaussian. The solution involved inversion of a large matrix which made the computational requirements scale poorly with the state dimension. In this paper, we devise an approximate particle flow filter for the case when both the prior and the likelihood are modeled using Gaussian mixtures. We perform numerical experiments to explore when the proposed method offers advantages compared to existing techniques.","PeriodicalId":315977,"journal":{"name":"2017 IEEE 7th International Workshop on Computational Advances in Multi-Sensor Adaptive Processing (CAMSAP)","volume":"41 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122076551","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 IOO selection scheme for maximizing target detection performance is studied in this paper, under the assumption that the number of IOOs that can be selected at each receiver is limited. An IOO selection algorithm based on maximizing the Kullback-Leibler (KL) distance is presented, which requires much lower computational complexity compared with the exhaustive search method and is shown to lead to a detection performance that is close enough to that of the optimal selection.","PeriodicalId":315977,"journal":{"name":"2017 IEEE 7th International Workshop on Computational Advances in Multi-Sensor Adaptive Processing (CAMSAP)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129849356","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 particular, it employs sparse stepped frequency waveform and infers the target ranges by exploiting sparsity in target scene. The range measurements are then sent to a fusion center where direction of arrival estimation is undertaken.

Considering the broad range of applications in which the data fail to adhere to a linear model, the present work proposes a nonlinear subspace tracking algorithm. The proposed algorithm can effectively learn and track an evolving non-linear subspace in an online fashion. The notion of non-linearity is accommodated via exploitation of kernel-induced mappings, whose computational as well as memory requirements, if untreated, will impose scalability issues in large datasets. This issue is addressed by imposing a predefined affordable budget on the number of data vectors to be stored, preventing computational and memory growth of the algorithm, while enabling the tracking of possibly evolving subspaces. Numerical tests corroborate the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm on synthetic as well as real datasets.","PeriodicalId":315977,"journal":{"name":"2017 IEEE 7th International Workshop on Computational Advances in Multi-Sensor Adaptive Processing (CAMSAP)","volume":"74 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116338293","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}

Using these vectors, the transmitter and receiver will sequentially estimate the corresponding angles of departure and arrival, and then refine the pilot precoding and combining vectors to minimize the error of estimating the small-scale fading of all subcarriers.
