On Phase Noise Suppression in Full-Duplex Systems
Oscillator phase noise has been shown to be one of the main performance
limiting factors in full-duplex systems. In this paper, we consider the problem
of self-interference cancellation with phase noise suppression in full-duplex
systems. The feasibility of performing phase noise suppression in full-duplex
systems in terms of both complexity and achieved gain is analytically and
experimentally investigated. First, the effect of phase noise on full-duplex
systems and the possibility of performing phase noise suppression are studied.
Two different phase noise suppression techniques with a detailed complexity
analysis are then proposed. For each suppression technique, both free-running
and phase locked loop based oscillators are considered. Due to the fact that
full-duplex system performance highly depends on hardware impairments,
experimental analysis is essential for reliable results. In this paper, the
performance of the proposed techniques is experimentally investigated in a
typical indoor environment. The experimental results are shown to confirm the
results obtained from numerical simulations on two different experimental
research platforms. At the end, the tradeoff between the required complexity
and the gain achieved using phase noise suppression is discussed.Comment: Published in IEEE transactions on wireless communications on

Spatiotemporal Sparse Bayesian Learning with Applications to Compressed Sensing of Multichannel Physiological Signals
Energy consumption is an important issue in continuous wireless
telemonitoring of physiological signals. Compressed sensing (CS) is a promising
framework to address it, due to its energy-efficient data compression
procedure. However, most CS algorithms have difficulty in data recovery due to
non-sparsity characteristic of many physiological signals. Block sparse
Bayesian learning (BSBL) is an effective approach to recover such signals with
satisfactory recovery quality. However, it is time-consuming in recovering
multichannel signals, since its computational load almost linearly increases
with the number of channels.
This work proposes a spatiotemporal sparse Bayesian learning algorithm to
recover multichannel signals simultaneously. It not only exploits temporal
correlation within each channel signal, but also exploits inter-channel
correlation among different channel signals. Furthermore, its computational
load is not significantly affected by the number of channels. The proposed
algorithm was applied to brain computer interface (BCI) and EEG-based driver's
drowsiness estimation. Results showed that the algorithm had both better
recovery performance and much higher speed than BSBL. Particularly, the
proposed algorithm ensured that the BCI classification and the drowsiness
estimation had little degradation even when data were compressed by 80%, making
it very suitable for continuous wireless telemonitoring of multichannel
signals.Comment: Codes are available at:

Coded DS-CDMA Systems with Iterative Channel Estimation and no Pilot Symbols
In this paper, we describe direct-sequence code-division multiple-access
(DS-CDMA) systems with quadriphase-shift keying in which channel estimation,
coherent demodulation, and decoding are iteratively performed without the use
of any training or pilot symbols. An expectation-maximization
channel-estimation algorithm for the fading amplitude, phase, and the
interference power spectral density (PSD) due to the combined interference and
thermal noise is proposed for DS-CDMA systems with irregular repeat-accumulate
codes. After initial estimates of the fading amplitude, phase, and interference
PSD are obtained from the received symbols, subsequent values of these
parameters are iteratively updated by using the soft feedback from the channel
decoder. The updated estimates are combined with the received symbols and
iteratively passed to the decoder. The elimination of pilot symbols simplifies
the system design and allows either an enhanced information throughput, an
improved bit error rate, or greater spectral efficiency. The interference-PSD
estimation enables DS-CDMA systems to significantly suppress interference.Comment: To appear, IEEE Transactions on Wireless Communication
Multichannel Speech Separation and Enhancement Using the Convolutive Transfer Function
This paper addresses the problem of speech separation and enhancement from
multichannel convolutive and noisy mixtures, \emph{assuming known mixing
filters}. We propose to perform the speech separation and enhancement task in
the short-time Fourier transform domain, using the convolutive transfer
function (CTF) approximation. Compared to time-domain filters, CTF has much
less taps, consequently it has less near-common zeros among channels and less
computational complexity. The work proposes three speech-source recovery
methods, namely: i) the multichannel inverse filtering method, i.e. the
multiple input/output inverse theorem (MINT), is exploited in the CTF domain,
and for the multi-source case, ii) a beamforming-like multichannel inverse
filtering method applying single source MINT and using power minimization,
which is suitable whenever the source CTFs are not all known, and iii) a
constrained Lasso method, where the sources are recovered by minimizing the
-norm to impose their spectral sparsity, with the constraint that the
-norm fitting cost, between the microphone signals and the mixing model
involving the unknown source signals, is less than a tolerance. The noise can
be reduced by setting a tolerance onto the noise power. Experiments under
various acoustic conditions are carried out to evaluate the three proposed
methods. The comparison between them as well as with the baseline methods is
presented.Comment: Submitted to IEEE/ACM Transactions on Audio, Speech and Language
