Channel-Optimized Vector Quantizer Design for Compressed Sensing Measurements
We consider vector-quantized (VQ) transmission of compressed sensing (CS)
measurements over noisy channels. Adopting mean-square error (MSE) criterion to
measure the distortion between a sparse vector and its reconstruction, we
derive channel-optimized quantization principles for encoding CS measurement
vector and reconstructing sparse source vector. The resulting necessary optimal
conditions are used to develop an algorithm for training channel-optimized
vector quantization (COVQ) of CS measurements by taking the end-to-end
distortion measure into account.Comment: Published in ICASSP 201
Distributed Quantization for Compressed Sensing
We study distributed coding of compressed sensing (CS) measurements using
vector quantizer (VQ). We develop a distributed framework for realizing
optimized quantizer that enables encoding CS measurements of correlated sparse
sources followed by joint decoding at a fusion center. The optimality of VQ
encoder-decoder pairs is addressed by minimizing the sum of mean-square errors
between the sparse sources and their reconstruction vectors at the fusion
center. We derive a lower-bound on the end-to-end performance of the studied
distributed system, and propose a practical encoder-decoder design through an
iterative algorithm.Comment: 5 Pages, Accepted for presentation in ICASSP 201
Power Allocation for Distributed BLUE Estimation with Full and Limited Feedback of CSI
This paper investigates the problem of adaptive power allocation for
distributed best linear unbiased estimation (BLUE) of a random parameter at the
fusion center (FC) of a wireless sensor network (WSN). An optimal
power-allocation scheme is proposed that minimizes the -norm of the vector
of local transmit powers, given a maximum variance for the BLUE estimator. This
scheme results in the increased lifetime of the WSN compared to similar
approaches that are based on the minimization of the sum of the local transmit
powers. The limitation of the proposed optimal power-allocation scheme is that
it requires the feedback of the instantaneous channel state information (CSI)
from the FC to local sensors, which is not practical in most applications of
large-scale WSNs. In this paper, a limited-feedback strategy is proposed that
eliminates this requirement by designing an optimal codebook for the FC using
the generalized Lloyd algorithm with modified distortion metrics. Each sensor
amplifies its analog noisy observation using a quantized version of its optimal
amplification gain, which is received by the FC and used to estimate the
unknown parameter.Comment: 6 pages, 3 figures, to appear at the IEEE Military Communications

Limited-Feedback-Based Channel-Aware Power Allocation for Linear Distributed Estimation
This paper investigates the problem of distributed best linear unbiased
estimation (BLUE) of a random parameter at the fusion center (FC) of a wireless
sensor network (WSN). In particular, the application of limited-feedback
strategies for the optimal power allocation in distributed estimation is
studied. In order to find the BLUE estimator of the unknown parameter, the FC
combines spatially distributed, linearly processed, noisy observations of local
sensors received through orthogonal channels corrupted by fading and additive
Gaussian noise. Most optimal power-allocation schemes proposed in the
literature require the feedback of the exact instantaneous channel state
information from the FC to local sensors. This paper proposes a
limited-feedback strategy in which the FC designs an optimal codebook
containing the optimal power-allocation vectors, in an iterative offline
process, based on the generalized Lloyd algorithm with modified distortion
functions. Upon observing a realization of the channel vector, the FC finds the
closest codeword to its corresponding optimal power-allocation vector and
broadcasts the index of the codeword. Each sensor will then transmit its analog
observations using its optimal quantized amplification gain. This approach
eliminates the requirement for infinite-rate digital feedback links and is
scalable, especially in large WSNs.Comment: 5 Pages, 3 Figures, 1 Algorithm, Forty Seventh Annual Asilomar
