Distributed Low-Rank Adaptive Algorithms Based on Alternating Optimization and Applications

This paper presents a novel distributed low-rank scheme and adaptive algorithms for distributed estimation over wireless networks. The proposed distributed scheme is based on a transformation that performs dimensionality reduction at each agent of the network followed by transmission of a reduced set of parameters to other agents and reduced-dimension parameter estimation. Distributed low-rank joint iterative estimation algorithms based on alternating optimization strategies are developed, which can achieve significantly reduced communication overhead and improved performance when compared with existing techniques. A computational complexity analysis of the proposed and existing low-rank algorithms is presented along with an analysis of the convergence of the proposed techniques. Simulations illustrate the performance of the proposed strategies in applications of wireless sensor networks and smart grids.Comment: 12 figures, 13 pages. arXiv admin note: text overlap with arXiv:1411.112

Compressed Sensing with Probability-based Prior Information

This paper deals with the design of a sensing matrix along with a sparse recovery algorithm by utilizing the probability-based prior information for compressed sensing system. With the knowledge of the probability for each atom of the dictionary being used, a diagonal weighted matrix is obtained and then the sensing matrix is designed by minimizing a weighted function such that the Gram of the equivalent dictionary is as close to the Gram of dictionary as possible. An analytical solution for the corresponding sensing matrix is derived which leads to low computational complexity. We also exploit this prior information through the sparse recovery stage and propose a probability-driven orthogonal matching pursuit algorithm that improves the accuracy of the recovery. Simulations for synthetic data and application scenarios of surveillance video are carried out to compare the performance of the proposed methods with some existing algorithms. The results reveal that the proposed CS system outperforms existing CS systems.Comment: 13 pages, 9 figure
