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
A Generalized Framework on Beamformer Design and CSI Acquisition for Single-Carrier Massive MIMO Systems in Millimeter Wave Channels
In this paper, we establish a general framework on the reduced dimensional
channel state information (CSI) estimation and pre-beamformer design for
frequency-selective massive multiple-input multiple-output MIMO systems
employing single-carrier (SC) modulation in time division duplex (TDD) mode by
exploiting the joint angle-delay domain channel sparsity in millimeter (mm)
wave frequencies. First, based on a generic subspace projection taking the
joint angle-delay power profile and user-grouping into account, the reduced
rank minimum mean square error (RR-MMSE) instantaneous CSI estimator is derived
for spatially correlated wideband MIMO channels. Second, the statistical
pre-beamformer design is considered for frequency-selective SC massive MIMO
channels. We examine the dimension reduction problem and subspace (beamspace)
construction on which the RR-MMSE estimation can be realized as accurately as
possible. Finally, a spatio-temporal domain correlator type reduced rank
channel estimator, as an approximation of the RR-MMSE estimate, is obtained by
carrying out least square (LS) estimation in a proper reduced dimensional
beamspace. It is observed that the proposed techniques show remarkable
robustness to the pilot interference (or contamination) with a significant
reduction in pilot overhead
Enhanced Compressive Wideband Frequency Spectrum Sensing for Dynamic Spectrum Access
Wideband spectrum sensing detects the unused spectrum holes for dynamic
spectrum access (DSA). Too high sampling rate is the main problem. Compressive
sensing (CS) can reconstruct sparse signal with much fewer randomized samples
than Nyquist sampling with high probability. Since survey shows that the
monitored signal is sparse in frequency domain, CS can deal with the sampling
burden. Random samples can be obtained by the analog-to-information converter.
Signal recovery can be formulated as an L0 norm minimization and a linear
measurement fitting constraint. In DSA, the static spectrum allocation of
primary radios means the bounds between different types of primary radios are
known in advance. To incorporate this a priori information, we divide the whole
spectrum into subsections according to the spectrum allocation policy. In the
new optimization model, the minimization of the L2 norm of each subsection is
used to encourage the cluster distribution locally, while the L0 norm of the L2
norms is minimized to give sparse distribution globally. Because the L0/L2
optimization is not convex, an iteratively re-weighted L1/L2 optimization is
proposed to approximate it. Simulations demonstrate the proposed method
outperforms others in accuracy, denoising ability, etc.Comment: 23 pages, 6 figures, 4 table. arXiv admin note: substantial text

Millimeter Wave MIMO Channel Estimation Based on Adaptive Compressed Sensing
Multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) systems are well suited for
millimeter-wave (mmWave) wireless communications where large antenna arrays can
be integrated in small form factors due to tiny wavelengths, thereby providing
high array gains while supporting spatial multiplexing, beamforming, or antenna
diversity. It has been shown that mmWave channels exhibit sparsity due to the
limited number of dominant propagation paths, thus compressed sensing
techniques can be leveraged to conduct channel estimation at mmWave
frequencies. This paper presents a novel approach of constructing beamforming
dictionary matrices for sparse channel estimation using the continuous basis
pursuit (CBP) concept, and proposes two novel low-complexity algorithms to
exploit channel sparsity for adaptively estimating multipath channel parameters
in mmWave channels. We verify the performance of the proposed CBP-based
beamforming dictionary and the two algorithms using a simulator built upon a
three-dimensional mmWave statistical spatial channel model, NYUSIM, that is
based on real-world propagation measurements. Simulation results show that the
CBP-based dictionary offers substantially higher estimation accuracy and
greater spectral efficiency than the grid-based counterpart introduced by
previous researchers, and the algorithms proposed here render better
performance but require less computational effort compared with existing
algorithms.Comment: 7 pages, 5 figures, in 2017 IEEE International Conference on

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
