Compressive Sensing for MIMO Radar
Multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) radar systems have been shown to
achieve superior resolution as compared to traditional radar systems with the
same number of transmit and receive antennas. This paper considers a
distributed MIMO radar scenario, in which each transmit element is a node in a
wireless network, and investigates the use of compressive sampling for
direction-of-arrival (DOA) estimation. According to the theory of compressive
sampling, a signal that is sparse in some domain can be recovered based on far
fewer samples than required by the Nyquist sampling theorem. The DOA of targets
form a sparse vector in the angle space, and therefore, compressive sampling
can be applied for DOA estimation. The proposed approach achieves the superior
resolution of MIMO radar with far fewer samples than other approaches. This is
particularly useful in a distributed scenario, in which the results at each
receive node need to be transmitted to a fusion center for further processing
Structured Sparsity Models for Multiparty Speech Recovery from Reverberant Recordings
We tackle the multi-party speech recovery problem through modeling the
acoustic of the reverberant chambers. Our approach exploits structured sparsity
models to perform room modeling and speech recovery. We propose a scheme for
characterizing the room acoustic from the unknown competing speech sources
relying on localization of the early images of the speakers by sparse
approximation of the spatial spectra of the virtual sources in a free-space
model. The images are then clustered exploiting the low-rank structure of the
spectro-temporal components belonging to each source. This enables us to
identify the early support of the room impulse response function and its unique
map to the room geometry. To further tackle the ambiguity of the reflection
ratios, we propose a novel formulation of the reverberation model and estimate
the absorption coefficients through a convex optimization exploiting joint
sparsity model formulated upon spatio-spectral sparsity of concurrent speech
representation. The acoustic parameters are then incorporated for separating
individual speech signals through either structured sparse recovery or inverse
filtering the acoustic channels. The experiments conducted on real data
recordings demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed approach for
multi-party speech recovery and recognition.Comment: 31 page
Channel Estimation for mmWave Massive MIMO Based Access and Backhaul in Ultra-Dense Network
Millimeter-wave (mmWave) massive MIMO used for access and backhaul in
ultra-dense network (UDN) has been considered as the promising 5G technique. We
consider such an heterogeneous network (HetNet) that ultra-dense small base
stations (BSs) exploit mmWave massive MIMO for access and backhaul, while
macrocell BS provides the control service with low frequency band. However, the
channel estimation for mmWave massive MIMO can be challenging, since the pilot
overhead to acquire the channels associated with a large number of antennas in
mmWave massive MIMO can be prohibitively high. This paper proposes a structured
compressive sensing (SCS)-based channel estimation scheme, where the angular
sparsity of mmWave channels is exploited to reduce the required pilot overhead.
Specifically, since the path loss for non-line-of-sight paths is much larger
than that for line-of-sight paths, the mmWave massive channels in the angular
domain appear the obvious sparsity. By exploiting such sparsity, the required
pilot overhead only depends on the small number of dominated multipath.
Moreover, the sparsity within the system bandwidth is almost unchanged, which
can be exploited for the further improved performance. Simulation results
demonstrate that the proposed scheme outperforms its counterpart, and it can
approach the performance bound.Comment: 6 pages, 5 figures. Millimeter-wave (mmWave), mmWave massive MIMO,
