Signal Recovery in Perturbed Fourier Compressed Sensing

In many applications in compressed sensing, the measurement matrix is a Fourier matrix, i.e., it measures the Fourier transform of the underlying signal at some specified `base' frequencies $\{u_i\}_{i=1}^M$, where $M$ is the number of measurements. However due to system calibration errors, the system may measure the Fourier transform at frequencies $\{u_i + \delta_i\}_{i=1}^M$ that are different from the base frequencies and where $\{\delta_i\}_{i=1}^M$ are unknown. Ignoring perturbations of this nature can lead to major errors in signal recovery. In this paper, we present a simple but effective alternating minimization algorithm to recover the perturbations in the frequencies \emph{in situ} with the signal, which we assume is sparse or compressible in some known basis. In many cases, the perturbations $\{\delta_i\}_{i=1}^M$ can be expressed in terms of a small number of unique parameters $P \ll M$. We demonstrate that in such cases, the method leads to excellent quality results that are several times better than baseline algorithms (which are based on existing off-grid methods in the recent literature on direction of arrival (DOA) estimation, modified to suit the computational problem in this paper). Our results are also robust to noise in the measurement values. We also provide theoretical results for (1) the convergence of our algorithm, and (2) the uniqueness of its solution under some restrictions.Comment: New theortical results about uniqueness and convergence now included.

Sparse Signal Processing Concepts for Efficient 5G System Design

As it becomes increasingly apparent that 4G will not be able to meet the emerging demands of future mobile communication systems, the question what could make up a 5G system, what are the crucial challenges and what are the key drivers is part of intensive, ongoing discussions. Partly due to the advent of compressive sensing, methods that can optimally exploit sparsity in signals have received tremendous attention in recent years. In this paper we will describe a variety of scenarios in which signal sparsity arises naturally in 5G wireless systems. Signal sparsity and the associated rich collection of tools and algorithms will thus be a viable source for innovation in 5G wireless system design. We will discribe applications of this sparse signal processing paradigm in MIMO random access, cloud radio access networks, compressive channel-source network coding, and embedded security. We will also emphasize important open problem that may arise in 5G system design, for which sparsity will potentially play a key role in their solution.Comment: 18 pages, 5 figures, accepted for publication in IEEE Acces

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 been accepted at the 2018 IEEE Asilomar Conference on Signals, Systems, and Computer
