- We address the problem of human detection with mobile platforms such as robots. Instead of using an optical system, we propose to employ an acoustic 2D array to reliably obtain an image of a human in a 3D spatial power spectrum which is independent of lighting conditions and uses cheap acoustic sensors. We show that humans have a distinct acoustic signature and propose to model the echoes from reflecting parts of objects in the scene by a Gaussian-Mixture- Model. When it is fitted to the acoustic image, we can extract geometric relations between the present echoes and represent the acoustic signatures in a low-dimensional parameter space. We present results based on real data measurements that demonstrate that different objects can be reconstructed from the data and discriminated. The obtained parameter space forms the basis for subsequent detection and classification of humans. ©2010 IEEE.

- In this paper the downlink of a multi-user MIMO (MUMIMO)system with multi-mode transmission is considered.We propose a low-complexity algorithm for selecting usersand the corresponding number of data streams to each user,denoted as user transmission mode (UTM). The selectionis only based on the average received signal-to-noise ratio(SNR) from the base station (BS) for each user. This reducesthe overall amount of feedback for scheduling, as opposedto techniques that assume perfect instantaneous channelstate information (CSI) from all users. Analytical averagethroughput approximations are derived for each user at different UTMs. Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed algorithm provides performance close to dirty paper coding (DPC) with considerably reduced feedback.

Massive MIMO systems with hardware-constrained base stations

Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- Massive multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) systems are cellular networks where the base stations (BSs) are equipped with unconventionally many antennas. Such large antenna arrays offer huge spatial degrees-of-freedom for transmission optimization; in particular, great signal gains, resilience to imperfect channel knowledge, and small inter-user interference are all achievable without extensive inter-cell coordination. The key to cost-efficient deployment of large arrays is the use of hardware-constrained base stations with low-cost antenna elements, as compared to today's expensive and power-hungry BSs. Low-cost transceivers are prone to hardware imperfections, but it has been conjectured that the excessive degrees-of-freedom of massive MIMO would bring robustness to such imperfections. We herein prove this claim for an uplink channel with multiplicative phase-drift, additive distortion noise, and noise amplification. Specifically, we derive a closed-form scaling law that shows how fast the imperfections increase with the number of antennas.

Auralization of Omnidirectional Room Impulse Responses Based on the Spatial Decomposition Method and Synthetic Spatial Data
- 2019

Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- The spatial decomposition method decomposes acoustic room impulse responses into a pressure signal and a direction of arrival for each time instant of the pressure signal. An acoustic space can be auralized by distributing the pressure signal over the available loudspeakers or head-related transfer functions so that the required instantaneous propagation direction is recreated. We present a user study that demonstrates based on binaural auralization that the arrival directions can be synthesized from random data such that the auralization is nearly indistinguishable from the auralization of the original data. The presented concept constitutes the fundament of a highly scalable spatialization method for omnidirectional room impulse responses.

Interpolation and Range Extrapolation of Sound Source Directivity Based on a Spherical Wave Propagation Model

Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- Approaches for incorporating sound source directivity into wave-based room acoustic simulations using a spherical harmonic representation have been presented recently. Normally, the directivity is measured or prescribed on a spherical surface centered at the nominal source position. In wave-based simulations, this directivity can be represented through a locally-defined driving term acting at the source location. In practice, the directivity of real-world sound sources like musical instruments or industrial machinery can only be measured approximately in terms of spatial resolution and accuracy. We show that the measurement data can be augmented such that the impairments due to the limitations of the measurement accuracy are mitigated. We revisit the previously proposed approach of only using the angle-dependent magnitude of the measured directivity together with a spherical-wave propagation model and demonstrate its potential by means of numerical simulations based on two case studies.

The Far-Field Equatorial Array for Binaural Rendering

- We present a method for obtaining a spherical harmonic representation of a sound field based on a microphone array along the equator of a rigid spherical scatterer. The two-dimensional plane wave de-composition of the incoming sound field is computed from the microphone signals. The influence of the scatterer is removed under the assumption of distant sound sources, and the result is converted to a spherical harmonic (SH) representation, which in turn can be rendered binaurally. The approach requires an order of magnitude fewer microphones compared to conventional spherical arrays that operate at the same SH order at the expense of not being able to accurately represent non-horizontally-propagating sound fields. Although the scattering removal is not perfect at high frequencies at low harmonic orders, numerical evaluation demonstrates the effectiveness of the approach.

Cell-Free Massive MIMO: Exploiting The Wax Decomposition

Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- Cell-free massive multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) consists of a large set of distributed access points (APs) serving a number of users. The APs can be far from each other, and they can also have a big number of antennas. Thus, decentralized architectures have to be considered so as to reduce the interconnection bandwidth to a central processing unit (CPU) and make the system scalable. On the other hand, the APs in a heterogeneous network might have limited processing capabilities and fully-decentralized processing may not be available. In a recent paper, a trade-off between level of decentralization and decentralized processing complexity has been identified. Furthermore, a novel matrix decomposition - the WAX decomposition - which, if applicable to the channel matrix, allows for exploitation of said trade-off without loss of information. The results on WAX decomposition are only available for random channel matrices without specific structures, while in a cell-free massive MIMO scenario the channel can have sparse structures. In this work, we study the applicability of WAX decomposition to cell-free massive MIMO with its implications to the above-mentioned trade-off.

Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- Large intelligent surface (LIS) is a technology that extends massive MIMO by considering an even greater number of antennas distributed throughout vast areas. In order to be able to implement this technology, it is crucial to consider decentralized architectures so as to make the whole system scalable. We consider a LIS divided into several LIS panels of smaller size, which can be located far away from each other. We present a modular architecture that allows combining different LIS panels using a binary tree. This architecture is also valid in a cell-free massive MIMO scenario. We make use of a newly defined matrix decomposition, the WAX decomposition, to define the modules that are used within our architecture. We also study the lossless dimensionality reduction in the data to be processed, which can be achieved using our proposed architecture.

Konferensbidrag (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- We consider detection of signals encoded with orthogonal space-time block codes (OSTBC), using multiple receive antennas. Such signals contain redundancy and they have a specific structure, that can be exploited for detection. We derive the optimal detector, in the Neyman-Pearson sense, when all parameters are known. We also consider unknown noise variance, signal variance and channel coefficients. We propose a number of GLRT based detectors for the different cases, that exploit the redundancy structure of the OSTBC signal. We also propose an eigenvalue-based detector for the case when all parameters are unknown. The proposed detectors are compared to the energy detector. We show that when only the noise variance is known, there is no gain in exploiting the structure of the OSTBC. However, when the noise variance is unknown there can be a significant gain.

- This paper discusses resolution enhancement of a set of images with varying exposure durations, having a high combined dynamic range. So far, little has been said in relation to the Human Visual System when it comes to Super-Resolution and High Dynamic Range fusion, unlike the case for traditional Super-Resolution where errors are measured with respect to human perception in the pixel domain. We propose a Super-Resolution method in the L*a*b* domain to bridge the gap and present some image reconstruction results.

- Super-Resolution and High Dynamic Range image reconstruction are two different signal processing techniques that share in common that they utilize information from multiple observations of the same scene to enhance visual image quality. In this paper, both techniques are merged in a common model, and the focus is to solve the reconstruction problem in a suitable image domain, which relates to the perception of the Human Visual System. Simulated results are presented, including a comparison with a conventional method, demonstrating the benefits of the proposed approach, in this case avoiding some severe reconstruction artifacts.

Geometry-Based Stochastic Modeling and Estimation of Vehicle to Vehicle Channels

Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- In this paper, a geometry-based stochastic channel model (GSCM) for vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) wireless communica- tion is developed. The channel model reveals that the channel representation in delay-Doppler domain can be divided into four regions. In each region, the V2V channel can be modeled using a hybrid sparse/diffuse (HSD) model. Prior art on hybrid channel estimation for linear time-invariant channels is extended to the time-varying case. Furthermore, the effects of pulse shape leakage are explicitly determined and compensated. Simulation results shows that exploiting the V2V channel properties in the delay-Doppler domain, yields significantly improved channel estimates over unstructured approaches (more than 10 dB gain in SNR).

On the impact of transceiver impairments on af relaying

- Recently, it was shown that transceiver hardware impairments have a detrimental impact on the performance of communication systems, especially for high-rate systems. The vast majority of technical contributions in the area of relaying assume ideal transceiver hardware. This paper quantifies the impact of transceiver hardware impairments in dual-hop Amplify-and-Forward (AF) relaying, both for fixed and variable gain relays. The outage probability (OP) in this practical scenario is a function of the instantaneous end-to-end signal-to-noise-and-distortion ratio (SNDR). This paper derives closed-form expressions for the exact and asymptotic OPs under Rayleigh fading, accounting for hardware impairments at both the transmitter and the relay. The performance loss is small at low spectral efficiency, but can otherwise be very substantial. In particular, it turns out that for high signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), the instantaneous end-to-end SNDR converges to a deterministic constant, called the SNDR ceiling, which is inversely proportional to the level of impairments. This stands in stark contrast to the ideal hardware case for which the end-to-end SNDR grows without bound in the high SNR regime.

- In the recent past, a number of publications have suggested superimposed pilots (SIP) for channel estimation in MIMO systems. However, the performance gain achieved by SIP compared to conventional (time-multiplexed) training is still questionable. In this paper we introduce a framework for modeling a general SIP scheme, of which the conventional scheme is a special case. Utilizing this framework, we derive a lower bound on the channel capacity to compare the performance between the two systems. It is found that in certain scenarios (high SNR, many receive antennas and short coherence times), it is beneficial to also transmit data during the training mode (i.e., use SIP). The main conclusion though, is that for most cases where these kind of schemes would be realistic, i.e. for systems with coherence lengths of more than a few symbols, the general SIP-scheme reduces to the conventional scheme. Hence, rendering the same capacity.

- In this paper, we introduce a time-frequency spectral estimator for smooth spectra, allowing for irregularly sampled measurements. A non-parametric representation of the time dependent (TD) covariance matrix is formed by assuming that the spectrum is piecewise linear. Using this representation, the time-frequency spectrum is then estimated by solving a convex covariance fitting problem, which also, as a byproduct, provides an enhanced estimation of the TD covariance matrix. Numerical examples using simulated non-stationary processes show the preferable performance of the proposed method as compared to the classical Wigner-Ville distribution and a smoothed spectrogram.

- We introduce a two-stage decimation process to improve the performance of neural belief propagation (NBP), recently introduced by Nachmani et al., for short low-density parity-check (LDPC) codes. In the first stage, we build a list by iterating between a conventional NBP decoder and guessing the least reliable bit. The second stage iterates between a conventional NBP decoder and learned decimation, where we use a neural network to decide the decimation value for each bit. For a (128,64) LDPC code, the proposed NBP with decimation outperforms NBP decoding by 0.75dB and performs within 1dB from maximum-likelihood decoding at a block error rate of 10-4.

Soft-Output Finite Alphabet Equalization for mmWave Massive MIMO

- Nxt-generation wireless systems are expected to combine millimeter-wave (mmWave) and massive multi-user multiple-input multiple-output (MU-MIMO) technologies to deliver high data-rates. These technologies require the basestations (BSs) to process high-dimensional data at extreme rates, which results in high power dissipation and system costs. Finite-alphabet equalization has been proposed recently to reduce the power consumption and silicon area of uplink spatial equalization circuitry at the BS by coarsely quantizing the equalization matrix. In this work, we improve upon finite-alphabet equalization by performing unbiased estimation and soft-output computation for coded systems. By simulating a massive MU-MIMO system that uses orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing and per-user convolutional coding, we show that soft-output finite-alphabet equalization delivers competitive error-rate performance using only 1 to 3 bits per entry of the equalization matrix, even for challenging mmWave channels.

We show that a significant improvement in automatic speech recognition (ASR) performance is obtained for any environmental condition, clean as well as noisy.

Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- In this work, we introduce a novel approach for designing the transmit frequency offset scheme based on Cramér-Rao lower bound (CRLB) minimization for a frequency diverse array multiple-input multiple-output (FDA-MIMO) radar. The problem originates in non-uniform FDA radar where each frequency offset scheme derives from a specific mathematical model, but where no optimization is conducted with respect to the frequency offset design. We propose two frequency selection schemes for FDA-MIMO radar based on A-optimal minimization, both incorporating a priori knowlegdge. The worst case optimal FDA-MIMO (OFDA-MIMOW) radar forms the frequency selection by minimizing the CRLB over a grid of the unknown parameters, whereas the Bayesian optimal FDA-MIMO (OFDA-MIMO-B) radar instead minimizes the Bayesian CRLB (BCRLB). The performances of the methods are evaluated using simulated data and compared to other common frequency selection schemes.

- A satellite navigation receiver traditionally searches for positioning signals using an acquisition procedure. In situations, in which the required information is only a binary decision whether at least one positioning signal is present or absent, the procedure represents an unnecessarily complex solution. This paper presents a different approach for the binary detection problem with significantly reduced computational complexity. The approach is based on a novel decision metric which is utilized to design two binary detectors. The first detector operates under the theoretical assumption of additive white Gaussian noise and is evaluated by means of Receiver Operating Characteristics. The second one considers also additional interferences and is suitable to operate in a real environment. Its performance is verified using a signal captured by a receiver front-end.

This is achieved through a new definition of sample error for boosting and a training procedure for hidden Markov models. For this purpose we define a sample error for sentence examples related to the word error rate. Furthermore, for each sentence example we define a probability distribution in time that represents our belief that an error has been made at that particular frame. This is used to weigh the frames of each sentence in the boosting framework. We present preliminary results on the well-known Numbers 95 database that indicate the importance of this temporal probability distribution. © 2005 IEEE.

- In this work, we present the misspecified Gaussian Cramér-Rao lower bound for the parameters of a harmonic signal, or pitch, when signal measurements are collected from an almost, but not quite, harmonic model. For the asymptotic case of large sample sizes, we present a closed-form expression for the bound corresponding to the pseduo-true fundamental frequency. Using simulation studies, it is shown that the bound is sharp and is attained by maximum likelihood estimators derived under the misspecified harmonic assumption. It is shown that misspecified harmonic models achieve a lower mean squared error than correctly specified unstructured models for moderately inharmonic signals. Examining voices from a speech database, we conclude that human speech belongs to this class of signals, verifying that the use of a harmonic model for voiced speech is preferable.

- The problem of position estimation of a mobile user equipped with a single antenna receiver using downlink transmissions is addressed. The advantages of this setup compared to the classical MIMO and uplink scenarios are analyzed in terms of achievable theoretical performance (Cramér-Rao bounds) considering a realistic power budget. Based on this analysis, a low-complexity two-step algorithm with improved localization performance is proposed, which first performs a (coarse) angle of departure estimation and then precodes the down-link signal to introduce beamforming towards the user direction. Results demonstrate that position estimation in downlink can be potentially much more accurate than in uplink, even in presence of multiple users in the system.

RIS-aided joint localization and synchronization with a single-antenna mmwave receiver

- MmWave multiple-input single-output (MISO) systems using a single-antenna receiver are regarded as a promising solution for the near future, before the full-fledged 5G MIMO will be widespread. However, for MISO systems synchronization cannot be performed jointly with user localization unless two-way transmissions are used. In this paper we show that thanks to the use of a reconfigurable intelligent surface (RIS), joint localization and synchronization is possible with only downlink MISO transmissions. The direct maximum likelihood (ML) estimator for the position and clock offset is derived. To obtain a good initialization for the ML optimization, a decoupled, relaxed estimator of position and delays is also devised, which does not require knowledge of the clock offset. Results show that the proposed approach attains the Cramér-Rao lower bound even for moderate values of the system parameters.

- Positioning using wave signal measurements is used in several applications, such as GPS systems, structure from sound and Wifi based positioning. Mathematically, such problems require the computation of the positions of receivers and/or transmitters as well as time offsets if the devices are unsynchronized. In this paper, we expand the previous state-of-the-art on positioning formulations by introducing Multiple Offsets Multilateration (MOM), a new mathematical framework to compute the receivers positions with pseudoranges from unsynchronized reference transmitters at known positions. This could be applied in several scenarios, for example structure from sound and positioning with LEO satellites. We mathematically describe MOM, determining how many receivers and transmitters are needed for the network to be solvable, a study on the number of possible distinct solutions is presented and stable solvers based on homotopy continuation are derived. The solvers are shown to be efficient and robust to noise both for synthetic and real audio data.

- Given a network of receivers and transmitters, the process of determining their positions from measured pseudoranges is known as network self-calibration. In this paper we consider 2D networks with synchronized receivers but unsynchronized transmitters and the corresponding calibration techniques, known as Time-Difference-Of-Arrival (TDOA) techniques. Despite previous work, TDOA self-calibration is computationally challenging. Iterative algorithms are very sensitive to the initialization, causing convergence issues. In this paper, we present a novel approach, which gives an algebraic solution to two previously unsolved scenarios. We also demonstrate that our solvers produce an excellent initial value for non-linear optimisation algorithms, leading to a full pipeline robust to noise.

- Image registration is a crucial task in many applications and applied in a variety of different areas. In addition to the primary task of image alignment, the deformation field is valuable when studying structural/volumetric changes in the brain. In most applications a regularizing term is added to achieve a smoothly varying deformation field. This can sometimes cause conflicts in situations of local complex deformations. In this paper we present a new regularizer, which aims at handling local complex deformations while maintaining an overall smooth deformation field. It is based on an adaptive anisotropic regularizer and its usefulness is demonstrated by two examples, one synthetic and one with real MRI data from a pre- and post-op situation with normal pressure hydrocephalus.

- Coordination among mobile agents relies on communication over a wireless channel and can thus be improved by channel prediction. We present a Gaussian process framework to learn channel parameters and predict the channel between arbitrary transmitter and receiver locations. We explicitly incorporate location uncertainty in both learning and prediction phases. Simulation results show that if location uncertainty is not modeled appropriately, it has a degenerative effect on the prediction quality.

- The main drawback of conventional filtering based methods for small dim target (SDT) detection is they could not guarantee sufficient suppression ability towards trivial high frequency component which belongs to background, such as strong corners and edges. To overcome this bottleneck, this paper proposes an effective SDT detection algorithm by using local connectedness constraint. Our method provides direct control for target size, ensure high accuracy and could be easily embedded into the classical sliding-window based framework. The effectiveness of the proposed method is validated using images with cluttered background.

Learning full-range affinity for diffusion-based saliency detection

Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- In this paper we address the issue of enhancing salient object detection through diffusion-based techniques. For reliably diffusing the energy from labeled seeds, we propose a novel graph-based diffusion scheme called affinity learning-based diffusion (ALD), which is based on learning full-range affinity between two arbitrary graph nodes. The method differs from the previous existing work where implicit diffusion was formulated as a ranking problem on a graph. In the proposed method, the affinity learning is achieved in a unified graph-based semi-supervised manner, whose outcome is leveraged for global propagation. By properly selecting an affinity learning model, the proposed ALD outperforms the ranking-based diffusion in terms of accurately detecting salient objects and enhancing the correct salient objects under a range of background scenarios. By utilizing the ALD, we propose an enhanced saliency detector that outperforms 7 recent state-of-the-art saliency models on 3 benchmark datasets.

- Neurite tracing in 3D neuron images is important when it comes to analysing the growth and functionality of nerve cells. The methods used today are either of high complexity, limiting throughput, or semi-automatic, i.e., requiring user interaction. This makes them unsuitable for analysis where high throughput is needed. In this work we propose a method designed for low complexity and void of user interaction by using local path-finding. The method is illustrated on both phantom and real data, and compared with a widely used commercial software package with promising results.

- In this work, we introduce the particle PHD forward filter - backward simulator (PHD-FFBSi) capable of dealing with uncertainties in the labeling of tracks that appear when tracking two targets in close proximity with measurements that do not discriminate between them. The Forward Filter Backward Simulator is a smoothing technique based on rejection sampling for the calculation of the probabilities of association between targets and tracks. The forward filter is a particle implementation of the Probability Hypothesis Density (PHD) filter that presents advantages over an SIR filter. Difficulties that arise due to the presence of target birth and death processes are addressed through modifications to the fast FFBSi. Simulations show the new particle filter of asymptotically linear complexity in the number of particles calculates correct target label probabilities at varying levels of measurement noise.

- We deal with the positioning problem based on two-way time-ofarrival (TW-TOA) measurements in asynchronous wireless sensor networks. The optimal estimator for this problem poses a difficult global optimization problem. To avoid the drawbacks in solving the optimal estimator, we use approximations and derive linear models,which facilitate efficient solutions. In particular, we employ the least squares method and solve a general trust region subproblem to find a coarse estimate. To further refine the estimate, we linearize the measurementsand obtain a linear model which can be solved using regularized least squares. Simulation results illustrate that the proposed approaches asymptotically attain the Cram´er-Rao lower bound.

- There is good reason to model an asymmetric threat (a structured action such as a terrorist attack) as an hmm whose observations are cluttered. Recently a Bernoulli filter was presented that can process cluttered observations («transactions») and is capable of detecting if there is an hmm present, and if so, estimate the state of the HMM. An important question in this context is: when is the HMM-in-clutter problem feasible? In other words, what system properties allow for a solvable problem? In this paper we show that, given a Gaussian approximation of the pdf of the log-likelihood, approximate detection error bounds can be derived. These error bounds allow a prediction of the detection performance, i.e. a prediction of the probability of detection given an «operating point» of transaction-level false alarm rate and miss probability. Simulations show that our analysis accurately predicts detectability of such threats. Our purpose here is to make statements about what sort of threats can be detected, and what quality of observations are necessary that this be accomplished.

- Different short-term spectrum estimators for speaker verification under additive noise are considered. Conventionally, mel-frequency cepstral coefficients (MFCCs) are computed from discrete Fourier transform (DFT) spectra of windowed speech frames. Recently, linear prediction (LP) and its temporally weighted variants have been substituted as the spectrum analysis method in speech and speaker recognition. In this paper, 12 different short-term spectrum estimation methods are compared for speaker verification under additive noise contamination. Experimental results conducted on NIST 2002 SRE show that the spectrum estimation method has a large effect on recognition performance and stabilized weighted LP (SWLP) and minimum variance distortionless response (MVDR) methods yield approximately 7 % and 8 % relative improvements over the standard DFT method at -10 dB SNR level of factory and babble noises, respectively in terms of equal error rate (EER).

Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- In this paper, the programmable signal propagation paradigm, enabled by Reconfigurable Intelligent Surfaces (RISs), is exploited for high accuracy 3-Dimensional (3D) user localization with a single multi-antenna base station. Capitalizing on the tunable reflection capability of passive RISs, we present a two-stage user localization method leveraging the multi-reflection wireless environment. In the first stage, we deploy an off-grid Compressive Sensing (CS) approach, which is based on the atomic norm minimization, for estimating the angles of arrival associated with each RIS, which is followed, in the second stage, by a maximum likelihood location estimation initialized with a least-squares line intersection technique. The presented numerical results showcase the high accuracy of the proposed 3D localization method, verifying our theoretical Cramér Rao lower bound analysis.

Evaluation of Sensor Self-Noise in Binaural Rendering of Spherical Microphone Array Signals

- Spherical microphone arrays are used to capture spatial sound fields, which can then be rendered via headphones. We use the Real-Time Spherical Array Renderer (ReTiSAR) to analyze and auralize the propagation of sensor self-noise through the processing pipeline. An instrumental evaluation confirms a strong global influence of different array and rendering parameters on the spectral balance and the overall level of the rendered noise. The character of the noise is direction independent in the case of spatially uniformly distributed noise. However, timbre of the rendered self-noise changes with head orientation in the case of spatially non-uniform noise. We determine audibility thresholds of the coloration artifact during head rotations for different array configurations in a perceptual user study.

Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- We propose and evaluate an acoustic crosstalk canceler for binaural sound presentation based on an 8-channel linear loudspeaker array. The system uses traditional LSFI beamforming and path estimation in the mid and low frequency range, respectively. Simulations show a channel separation of around 40 dB over the vast part of the considered frequency range. The channel separation in a real-world implementation was measured to be 10 dB - 25 dB over a broadband spectrum of 250 Hz - 9000 Hz. When comparing localization precision of virtual binaural signals to ground-truth presentation with headphones, a 21 subject study revealed significantly higher localization precision (F(1) = 23.56, p 0.001); task difficulty, timbre and spaciousness where rated the same accross both presentation methods. Robustness of the method was high and no fixation of the subjects' heads was applied.

- As an emerging technology and evolution that goes beyond massive multi-input multi-output (MIMO), large intelligent surface (LIS) has gained much interest. LIS acts as an electromagnetic surface that can transmit, redirect, and receive radiating signals across its entire contiguous surface. It allows for unprecedented energy-focusing, data-transmission and terminal-positioning, and can fulfill the most grand visions for future communication systems. Earlier proposed LISs are in two-dimensional (2D), i.e., planar shapes. In this paper, we extend LISs to be three-dimensional (3D) and deployed as spherical surfaces. Compared to 2D LIS, a spherical LIS has advantages in wide coverage, simple positioning technique, and flexible deployment as reflecting surface.

Joint DOA Estimation and Distorted Sensor Detection Under Entangled Low-Rank and Row-Sparse Constraints
- 2024

Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- The problem of joint direction-of-arrival estimation and distorted sensor detection has received a lot of attention in recent decades. Most state-of-the-art work formulated such a problem via low-rank and row-sparse decomposition, where the low-rank and row-sparse components were treated in an isolated manner. Such a formulation results in a performance loss. Differently, in this paper, we entangle the low-rank and row-sparse components by exploring their inherent connection. Furthermore, we take into account the maximal distortion level of the sensors. An alternating optimization scheme is proposed to solve the low-rank component and the sparse component, where a closed-form solution is derived for the low-rank component and a quadratic programming is developed for the sparse component. Numerical results exhibit the effectiveness and superiority of the proposed method.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Adaptive modulation scheme has been widely used in multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) systems to enhance the spectral efficiency while maintaining the bit-error-rate (BER) under a target level. In this work, we investigate the performance of adaptive modulation in the presence of imperfect channel estimation and the impact of estimation noise on the spectral efficiency. The closed-form expressions for the average spectral efficiency are derived. Two MIMO schemes are considered, i.e., orthogonal space-time block codes (OSTBC) and spatial multiplexing with zero-forcing receiver (SM-ZF), and a low complexity method to enable the transmitter to switch between OSTBC and SM-ZF is utilized to achieve higher spectral efficiency than adaptive OSTBC and adaptive SM-ZF.

To this end, we reformulate the original NP-hard precoding problem as a tree search and deploy a number of strategies that improve the pruning efficiency without sacrificing optimality. We evaluate the error-rate performance and the complexity of the resulting 1-bit branch-and-bound (BB-1) precoder, and compare its efficacy to that of existing, suboptimal algorithms for 1-bit precoding in MU-MIMO systems.

Robust Fundamental Frequency Estimation in Coloured Noise

Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- Most parametric fundamental frequency estimators make the implicit assumption that any corrupting noise is additive, white Gaus-sian. Under this assumption, the maximum likelihood (ML) and the least squares estimators are the same, and statistically efficient. However, in the coloured noise case, the estimators differ, and the spectral shape of the corrupting noise should be taken into account. To allow for this, we here propose two schemes that refine the noise statistics and parameter estimates in an iterative manner, one of them based on an approximate ML solution and the other one based on removing the periodic signal obtained from a linearly constrained minimum variance (LCMV) filter. Evaluations on real speech data indicate that the iteration steps improve the estimation accuracy, therefore offering improvement over traditional non-parametric fundamental frequency methods in most of the evaluated scenarios.

- Measurements with unknown time delays are common in different applications such as microphone array, radio antenna array calibration, where the sources (e.g. sounds) are transmitted in unknown time instants. In this paper, we present a method for estimating unknown time delays from Time-Difference-of-Arrival (TDOA) measurements. We propose a novel rank constraint on a matrix depending on the measurements and the unknown time delays. The time delays are recovered by solving a truncated nuclear norm minimization problem using alternating direction method of multipliers (ADMM). We show in synthetic experiments that the proposed method recovers the time delays with good accuracy for noisy and missing data.

- In this paper, we describe a minimal mean square error (MMSE) optimal interpolation filter for discrete random signals. We explicitly derive the interpolation filter for a first-order autoregressive process (AR(1)), and show that the filter depends only on the two adjacent points. The result is extended by developing an algorithm called local AR approximation (LARA), where a random signal is locally estimated as an AR(1) process. Experimental evaluation illustrates that LARA interpolation yields a lower mean square error than other common interpolation techniques, including linear, spline and local polynomial approximation (LPA).

- In this paper, we derive the Cramér-Rao bounds (CRBs) on the positioning errors for narrow-band low earth orbit positioning, navigation, and timing (LEO-PNT) systems. Fisher information analysis is performed to characterize the CRBs for errors in Doppler and carrier phase measurements. In addition, we analyze the effect of the carrier phase and Doppler on the CRB for positioning. Numerical simulations were conducted in different settings. To show the relevance of CRB, we compare our results to the maximum likelihood (ML) estimator. Our findings show that using the carrier phase significantly improves the positioning in LEO-PNT systems.
