Generalizing the Sampling Property of the Q-function for Error Rate Analysis of Cooperative Communication in Fading Channels
This paper extends some approximation methods that are used to identify
closed form Bit Error Rate (BER) expressions which are frequently utilized in
investigation and comparison of performance for wireless communication systems
in the literature. By using this group of approximation methods, some
expectation integrals, which are complicated to analyze and have high
computational complexity to evaluate through Monte Carlo simulations, are
computed. For these integrals, by using the sampling property of the integrand
functions of one or more arguments, reliable BER expressions revealing the
diversity and coding gains are derived. Although the methods we present are
valid for a larger class of integration problems, in this work we show the step
by step derivation of the BER expressions for a canonical cooperative
communication scenario in addition to a network coded system starting from
basic building blocks. The derived expressions agree with the simulation
results for a very wide range of signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) values.Comment: 5 pages, 5 figures, Submitted to IEEE International Symposium on

One-bit Distributed Sensing and Coding for Field Estimation in Sensor Networks
This paper formulates and studies a general distributed field reconstruction
problem using a dense network of noisy one-bit randomized scalar quantizers in
the presence of additive observation noise of unknown distribution. A
constructive quantization, coding, and field reconstruction scheme is developed
and an upper-bound to the associated mean squared error (MSE) at any point and
any snapshot is derived in terms of the local spatio-temporal smoothness
properties of the underlying field. It is shown that when the noise, sensor
placement pattern, and the sensor schedule satisfy certain weak technical
requirements, it is possible to drive the MSE to zero with increasing sensor
density at points of field continuity while ensuring that the per-sensor
bitrate and sensing-related network overhead rate simultaneously go to zero.
The proposed scheme achieves the order-optimal MSE versus sensor density
scaling behavior for the class of spatially constant spatio-temporal fields.Comment: Fixed typos, otherwise same as V2. 27 pages (in one column review

Expander Chunked Codes
Chunked codes are efficient random linear network coding (RLNC) schemes with
low computational cost, where the input packets are encoded into small chunks
(i.e., subsets of the coded packets). During the network transmission, RLNC is
performed within each chunk. In this paper, we first introduce a simple
transfer matrix model to characterize the transmission of chunks, and derive
some basic properties of the model to facilitate the performance analysis. We
then focus on the design of overlapped chunked codes, a class of chunked codes
whose chunks are non-disjoint subsets of input packets, which are of special
interest since they can be encoded with negligible computational cost and in a
causal fashion. We propose expander chunked (EC) codes, the first class of
overlapped chunked codes that have an analyzable performance,where the
construction of the chunks makes use of regular graphs. Numerical and
simulation results show that in some practical settings, EC codes can achieve
rates within 91 to 97 percent of the optimum and outperform the
state-of-the-art overlapped chunked codes significantly.Comment: 26 pages, 3 figures, submitted for journal publicatio
Deep Networks for Compressed Image Sensing
The compressed sensing (CS) theory has been successfully applied to image
compression in the past few years as most image signals are sparse in a certain
domain. Several CS reconstruction models have been recently proposed and
obtained superior performance. However, there still exist two important
challenges within the CS theory. The first one is how to design a sampling
mechanism to achieve an optimal sampling efficiency, and the second one is how
to perform the reconstruction to get the highest quality to achieve an optimal
signal recovery. In this paper, we try to deal with these two problems with a
deep network. First of all, we train a sampling matrix via the network training
instead of using a traditional manually designed one, which is much appropriate
for our deep network based reconstruct process. Then, we propose a deep network
to recover the image, which imitates traditional compressed sensing
reconstruction processes. Experimental results demonstrate that our deep
networks based CS reconstruction method offers a very significant quality
improvement compared against state of the art ones.Comment: This paper has been accepted by the IEEE International Conference on
