Toward a Robust Sparse Data Representation for Wireless Sensor Networks
Compressive sensing has been successfully used for optimized operations in
wireless sensor networks. However, raw data collected by sensors may be neither
originally sparse nor easily transformed into a sparse data representation.
This paper addresses the problem of transforming source data collected by
sensor nodes into a sparse representation with a few nonzero elements. Our
contributions that address three major issues include: 1) an effective method
that extracts population sparsity of the data, 2) a sparsity ratio guarantee
scheme, and 3) a customized learning algorithm of the sparsifying dictionary.
We introduce an unsupervised neural network to extract an intrinsic sparse
coding of the data. The sparse codes are generated at the activation of the
hidden layer using a sparsity nomination constraint and a shrinking mechanism.
Our analysis using real data samples shows that the proposed method outperforms
conventional sparsity-inducing methods.Comment: 8 page
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
SimpleTrack:Adaptive Trajectory Compression with Deterministic Projection Matrix for Mobile Sensor Networks
Some mobile sensor network applications require the sensor nodes to transfer
their trajectories to a data sink. This paper proposes an adaptive trajectory
(lossy) compression algorithm based on compressive sensing. The algorithm has
two innovative elements. First, we propose a method to compute a deterministic
projection matrix from a learnt dictionary. Second, we propose a method for the
mobile nodes to adaptively predict the number of projections needed based on
the speed of the mobile nodes. Extensive evaluation of the proposed algorithm
using 6 datasets shows that our proposed algorithm can achieve sub-metre
accuracy. In addition, our method of computing projection matrices outperforms
two existing methods. Finally, comparison of our algorithm against a
state-of-the-art trajectory compression algorithm show that our algorithm can
reduce the error by 10-60 cm for the same compression ratio
Efficient Data Gathering in Wireless Sensor Networks Based on Matrix Completion and Compressive Sensing
Gathering data in an energy efficient manner in wireless sensor networks is
an important design challenge. In wireless sensor networks, the readings of
sensors always exhibit intra-temporal and inter-spatial correlations.
Therefore, in this letter, we use low rank matrix completion theory to explore
the inter-spatial correlation and use compressive sensing theory to take
advantage of intra-temporal correlation. Our method, dubbed MCCS, can
significantly reduce the amount of data that each sensor must send through
network and to the sink, thus prolong the lifetime of the whole networks.
Experiments using real datasets demonstrate the feasibility and efficacy of our
MCCS method
