Adaptive Differential Feedback in Time-Varying Multiuser MIMO Channels
In the context of a time-varying multiuser multiple-input-multiple-output
(MIMO) system, we design recursive least squares based adaptive predictors and
differential quantizers to minimize the sum mean squared error of the overall
system. Using the fact that the scalar entries of the left singular matrix of a
Gaussian MIMO channel becomes almost Gaussian distributed even for a small
number of transmit antennas, we perform adaptive differential quantization of
the relevant singular matrix entries. Compared to the algorithms in the
existing differential feedback literature, our proposed quantizer provides
three advantages: first, the controller parameters are flexible enough to adapt
themselves to different vehicle speeds; second, the model is backward adaptive
i.e., the base station and receiver can agree upon the predictor and variance
estimator coefficients without explicit exchange of the parameters; third, it
can accurately model the system even when the correlation between two
successive channel samples becomes as low as 0.05. Our simulation results show
that our proposed method can reduce the required feedback by several kilobits
per second for vehicle speeds up to 20 km/h (channel tracker) and 10 km/h
(singular vector tracker). The proposed system also outperforms a fixed
quantizer, with same feedback overhead, in terms of bit error rate up to 30
km/h.Comment: IEEE 22nd International Conference on Personal, Indoor and Mobile

Variable dimension weighted universal vector quantization and noiseless coding
A new algorithm for variable dimension weighted universal coding is introduced. Combining the multi-codebook system of weighted universal vector quantization (WUVQ), the partitioning technique of variable dimension vector quantization, and the optimal design strategy common to both, variable dimension WUVQ allows mixture sources to be effectively carved into their component subsources, each of which can then be encoded with the codebook best matched to that source. Application of variable dimension WUVQ to a sequence of medical images provides up to 4.8 dB improvement in signal to quantization noise ratio over WUVQ and up to 11 dB improvement over a standard full-search vector quantizer followed by an entropy code. The optimal partitioning technique can likewise be applied with a collection of noiseless codes, as found in weighted universal noiseless coding (WUNC). The resulting algorithm for variable dimension WUNC is also described
Asymptotic Optimality Theory For Decentralized Sequential Multihypothesis Testing Problems
The Bayesian formulation of sequentially testing hypotheses is
studied in the context of a decentralized sensor network system. In such a
system, local sensors observe raw observations and send quantized sensor
messages to a fusion center which makes a final decision when stopping taking
observations. Asymptotically optimal decentralized sequential tests are
developed from a class of "two-stage" tests that allows the sensor network
system to make a preliminary decision in the first stage and then optimize each
local sensor quantizer accordingly in the second stage. It is shown that the
optimal local quantizer at each local sensor in the second stage can be defined
as a maximin quantizer which turns out to be a randomization of at most
unambiguous likelihood quantizers (ULQ). We first present in detail our results
for the system with a single sensor and binary sensor messages, and then extend
to more general cases involving any finite alphabet sensor messages, multiple
sensors, or composite hypotheses.Comment: 14 pages, 1 figure, submitted to IEEE Trans. Inf. Theor
Channel-Optimized Vector Quantizer Design for Compressed Sensing Measurements
We consider vector-quantized (VQ) transmission of compressed sensing (CS)
measurements over noisy channels. Adopting mean-square error (MSE) criterion to
measure the distortion between a sparse vector and its reconstruction, we
derive channel-optimized quantization principles for encoding CS measurement
vector and reconstructing sparse source vector. The resulting necessary optimal
conditions are used to develop an algorithm for training channel-optimized
vector quantization (COVQ) of CS measurements by taking the end-to-end
distortion measure into account.Comment: Published in ICASSP 201
