Blind separation of convolutive mixtures of cyclostationary sources using an extended natural gradient method
An on-line adaptive blind source separation algorithm for
the separation of convolutive mixtures of cyclostationary
source signals is proposed. The algorithm is derived by applying natural gradient iterative learning to the novel cost
function which is defined according to the wide sense cyclostationarity
of signals. The efficiency of the algorithm
is supported by simulations, which show that the proposed
algorithm has improved performance for the separation of
convolved cyclostationary signals in terms of convergence
speed and waveform similarity measurement, as compared
to the conventional natural gradient algorithm for convolutive
mixtures
Blind separation of cyclostationary signals from instantaneous mixtures
This paper presents a new approach for blind separation of unknown cyclostationary signals from instantaneous mixtures. The proposed method can perfectly separate the mixed source signals so long as they have either different cyclic frequencies or clock phases. This is a weaker condition than those required by the algorithms. The separation criterion is to diagonalize a polynomial matrix whose coefficient matrices consist of the correlation and cyclic correlation matrices, at time delay τ=0, of multiple measurements. <br /

Spectrum Sensing Framework based on Blind Source Separation for Cognitive Radio Environments
El uso eficiente del espectro se ha convertido en un área de investigación activa, debido a la escasez de este recurso y a su subutilización. En un escenario en el que el espectro es un recurso compartido como en la radio cognitiva (CR), los espacios sin uso dentro de las bandas de frecuencias con licencia podrían ser detectados y posteriormente utilizados por un usuario secundario a través de técnicas de detección y sensado del espectro. Generalmente, estas técnicas de detección se utilizan a partir de un conocimiento previo de las características de canal. En el presente trabajo se propone un enfoque de detección ciega del espectro basado en análisis de componentes independientes (ICA) y análisis de espectro singular (SSA). La técnica de detección se valida a través de simulación, y su desempeño se compara con metodologías propuestas por otros autores en la literatura. Los resultados muestran que el sistema propuesto es capaz de detectar la mayoría de las fuentes con bajo consumo de tiempo, un aspecto que cabe resaltar para aplicaciones en línea con exigencias de tiempo.The efficient use of spectrum has become an active research area, due to its scarcity and underutilization. In a spectrum sharing scenario as Cognitive Radio (CR), the vacancy of licensed frequency bands could be detected by a secondary user through spectrum sensing techniques. Usually, this sensing approaches are performed with a priori knowledge of the channel features. In the present work, a blind spectrum sensing approach based on Independent Component Analysis and Singular Spectrum Analysis is proposed. The approach is tested and compared with other outcomes. Results show that the proposed scheme is capable of detect most of the sources with low time consumption, which is a remarkable aspect for online applications with demanding time issues
An OFDM Signal Identification Method for Wireless Communications Systems
Distinction of OFDM signals from single carrier signals is highly important
for adaptive receiver algorithms and signal identification applications. OFDM
signals exhibit Gaussian characteristics in time domain and fourth order
cumulants of Gaussian distributed signals vanish in contrary to the cumulants
of other signals. Thus fourth order cumulants can be utilized for OFDM signal
identification. In this paper, first, formulations of the estimates of the
fourth order cumulants for OFDM signals are provided. Then it is shown these
estimates are affected significantly from the wireless channel impairments,
frequency offset, phase offset and sampling mismatch. To overcome these
problems, a general chi-square constant false alarm rate Gaussianity test which
employs estimates of cumulants and their covariances is adapted to the specific
case of wireless OFDM signals. Estimation of the covariance matrix of the
fourth order cumulants are greatly simplified peculiar to the OFDM signals. A
measurement setup is developed to analyze the performance of the identification
method and for comparison purposes. A parametric measurement analysis is
provided depending on modulation order, signal to noise ratio, number of
symbols, and degree of freedom of the underlying test. The proposed method
outperforms statistical tests which are based on fixed thresholds or empirical
values, while a priori information requirement and complexity of the proposed
method are lower than the coherent identification techniques
Normalised natural gradient algorithm for the separation of cyclostationary sources
A normalised natural gradient algorithm (NGA) for the separation of cyclostationary source signals is proposed in this paper. It improves the convergence properties of the cyclostationary natural gradient algorithm (CSNGA) by employing a gradient adaptive learning rate whose value changes in response to some change in the filter parameters. Experimental results demonstrate the improved behaviour of the approach
