Signal Recovery From 1-Bit Quantized Noisy Samples via Adaptive Thresholding
In this paper, we consider the problem of signal recovery from 1-bit noisy
measurements. We present an efficient method to obtain an estimation of the
signal of interest when the measurements are corrupted by white or colored
noise. To the best of our knowledge, the proposed framework is the pioneer
effort in the area of 1-bit sampling and signal recovery in providing a unified
framework to deal with the presence of noise with an arbitrary covariance
matrix including that of the colored noise. The proposed method is based on a
constrained quadratic program (CQP) formulation utilizing an adaptive
quantization thresholding approach, that further enables us to accurately
recover the signal of interest from its 1-bit noisy measurements. In addition,
due to the adaptive nature of the proposed method, it can recover both fixed
and time-varying parameters from their quantized 1-bit samples.Comment: This is a pre-print version of the original conference paper that has

Feedback Acquisition and Reconstruction of Spectrum-Sparse Signals by Predictive Level Comparisons
In this letter, we propose a sparsity promoting feedback acquisition and
reconstruction scheme for sensing, encoding and subsequent reconstruction of
spectrally sparse signals. In the proposed scheme, the spectral components are
estimated utilizing a sparsity-promoting, sliding-window algorithm in a
feedback loop. Utilizing the estimated spectral components, a level signal is
predicted and sign measurements of the prediction error are acquired. The
sparsity promoting algorithm can then estimate the spectral components
iteratively from the sign measurements. Unlike many batch-based Compressive
Sensing (CS) algorithms, our proposed algorithm gradually estimates and follows
slow changes in the sparse components utilizing a sliding-window technique. We
also consider the scenario in which possible flipping errors in the sign bits
propagate along iterations (due to the feedback loop) during reconstruction. We
propose an iterative error correction algorithm to cope with this error
propagation phenomenon considering a binary-sparse occurrence model on the
error sequence. Simulation results show effective performance of the proposed
scheme in comparison with the literature
Localization Performance of 1-Bit Passive Radars in NB-IoT Applications
Location-based services form an important use-case in emerging narrowband Internet-of-Things (NB-IoT) networks. Critical to this offering is an accurate estimation of the location without overlaying the network with additional active sensors. The massive number of devices, low power requirement, and low bandwidths restrict the sampling rates of NB-IoT receivers. In this paper, we propose a novel low-complexity approach for NB-IoT target delay estimation in cases where one-bit analog-to-digital-converters (ADCs) are employed to sample the received radar signal instead of high-resolution ADCs. This problem has potential applications in the design of inexpensive NB-IoT radar and sensing devices. We formulate the target estimation as a multivariate fractional optimization problem and solve it via Lasserre's semi-definite program relaxation. Numerical experiments suggest feasibility of the proposed approach yielding high localization accuracy with a very low number of 1-bit samples
Covariance matrix recovery from one-bit data with non-zero quantization thresholds: Algorithm and performance analysis
Covariance matrix recovery is a topic of great significance in the field of one-bit signal processing and has numerous practical applications. Despite its importance, the conventional arcsine law with zero threshold is incapable of recovering the diagonal elements of the covariance matrix. To address this limitation, recent studies have proposed the use of non-zero clipping thresholds. However, the relationship between the estimation error and the sampling threshold is not yet known. In this article, we undertake an analysis of the mean squared error by computing the Fisher information matrix for a given threshold. Our results reveal that the optimal threshold can vary considerably, depending on the variances and correlation coefficients. As a result, it is inappropriate to adopt a constant threshold to encompass parameters that vary widely. To mitigate this issue, we present a recovery scheme that incorporates time-varying thresholds. Our approach differs from existing methods in that it utilizes the exact values of the threshold, rather than its statistical properties, to increase the estimation accuracy. Simulation results, including those of the direction-of-arrival estimation problem, demonstrate the efficacy of the developed scheme, especially in complex scenarios where the covariance elements are widely separated.The work of Yu-Hang Xiao was supported in part by the National Natural Science Foundation of China under Grant 62201359.
