Compressive Sensing for Spread Spectrum Receivers
With the advent of ubiquitous computing there are two design parameters of
wireless communication devices that become very important power: efficiency and
production cost. Compressive sensing enables the receiver in such devices to
sample below the Shannon-Nyquist sampling rate, which may lead to a decrease in
the two design parameters. This paper investigates the use of Compressive
Sensing (CS) in a general Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) receiver. We
show that when using spread spectrum codes in the signal domain, the CS
measurement matrix may be simplified. This measurement scheme, named
Compressive Spread Spectrum (CSS), allows for a simple, effective receiver
design. Furthermore, we numerically evaluate the proposed receiver in terms of
bit error rate under different signal to noise ratio conditions and compare it
with other receiver structures. These numerical experiments show that though
the bit error rate performance is degraded by the subsampling in the CS-enabled
receivers, this may be remedied by including quantization in the receiver
model. We also study the computational complexity of the proposed receiver
design under different sparsity and measurement ratios. Our work shows that it
is possible to subsample a CDMA signal using CSS and that in one example the
CSS receiver outperforms the classical receiver.Comment: 11 pages, 11 figures, 1 table, accepted for publication in IEEE

Matching pursuit-based compressive sensing in a wearable biomedical accelerometer fall diagnosis device
There is a significant high fall risk population, where individuals are susceptible to frequent falls and obtaining significant injury, where quick medical response and fall information are critical to providing efficient aid. This article presents an evaluation of compressive sensing techniques in an accelerometer-based intelligent fall detection system modelled on a wearable Shimmer biomedical embedded computing device with Matlab. The presented fall detection system utilises a database of fall and activities of daily living signals evaluated with discrete wavelet transforms and principal component analysis to obtain binary tree classifiers for fall evaluation. 14 test subjects undertook various fall and activities of daily living experiments with a Shimmer device to generate data for principal component analysis-based fall classifiers and evaluate the proposed fall analysis system. The presented system obtains highly accurate fall detection results, demonstrating significant advantages in comparison with the thresholding method presented. Additionally, the presented approach offers advantageous fall diagnostic information. Furthermore, transmitted data accounts for over 80% battery current usage of the Shimmer device, hence it is critical the acceleration data is reduced to increase transmission efficiency and in-turn improve battery usage performance. Various Matching pursuit-based compressive sensing techniques have been utilised to significantly reduce acceleration information required for transmission.Scopu
