This paper considers the randomized distributed orthogonal space-time block coding (DOSTBC) system proposed by Sirkeci-Mergen and Scaglione, and considers a situation where some of the cooperative relays can disconnect from the network during the data frame transmission. Such an event translates into abrupt changes of the virtual channel matrix at the receiver; and a coherent detector, which assum...Show More
Dynamic functional imaging promises powerful tools for the visualization and elucidation of important disease- causing biological processes, where the pixels often represent a composite of multiple biomarkers independent of spatial resolution. This study exploits both blind source separation and imagery marker characteristics to develop a hybrid method for the separation of mixed yet correlated bi...Show More
We recently reported a criterion for blind separation of non-negative sources, using a new concept called convex analysis for mixtures of non-negative sources (CAMNS). Under some assumptions that are considered realistic for sparse or high-contrast signals, the criterion is that the true source signals can be perfectly recovered by finding the extreme points of some observation-constructed convex ...Show More
In this paper, we develop a new class of parameter estimation techniques for the Gaussian Continuous-Density Hidden Markov Model (CDHMM), where the discriminative margin among a set of HMMs is used as the objective function for optimization. In addition to optimizing the mean parameters of the large-margin CDHMM, which was attempted in the past, our new technique is able to optimize the variance p...Show More
Semidefinite relaxation (SDR) is a high-performance efficient approach to MIMO detection especially for the BPSK or QPSK constellations. Recently, a number of research endeavors have focused on extending SDR to the case of 16-QAM constellations. This paper reports two interesting and useful results on this problem. First, we show that two of the existing 16-QAM SDR receivers, namely the polynomial...Show More
A cross-layered slotted ALOHA protocol is proposed for distributed estimation in sensor networks. Suppose that the sensors in the network record local measurements of a common event and report the data back to the fusion center through direct transmission links. We employ a channel-aware transmission control where the transmission probability of each sensor depends on the quality of the local obse...Show More
This paper considers blind beamforming of multiuser orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) systems. Assuming that the channel is static within one OFDM block, a blind post-FFT multistage beamforming algorithm (MSBFA) based on subcarrier averaging over one OFDM block is proposed, which basically comprises: i) source (path) extraction using a hybrid beamforming algorithm composed of a Fou...Show More
In this paper, a block-by-block blind channel estimation algorithm is proposed for a multiuser orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) system with an antenna array at the base station and a single antenna at each mobile unit. Provided that the channel is static within an OFDM block (i.e., block fading channel), based on the subcarrier averaging the proposed channel estimation algorithm c...Show More
This paper presents a low-complexity blind Maximum-Likelihood (ML) detector for Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) systems in block fading channels. The receiver complexity is reduced by subcarrier grouping (SG) for which the OFDM block is partitioned into smaller groups, and then the data are detected on a group-by-group basis. An identifiability analysis is also provided. We show ...Show More
In this paper we propose an extended differential unitary space-time modulation (xDUSTM) scheme that can offer improved error performance over the differential unitary space-time modulation (DUSTM) scheme. DUSTM is well suited to rapidly time-varying unknown channels. It has a simple structure, but incurs an error performance penalty of about 3dB compared to its coherent counterpart. The xDUSTM sc...Show More
This paper proposes a space-time selective RAKE (SRAKE) receiver with maximum signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio (MSINR) for direct-sequence ultra-wideband (UWB) communications in the presence of narrowband interference (NBI) and multiple-access interference. For effectively extracting a fixed number of the UWB signal components (fingers) from numerous resolvable paths, four finger selection ...Show More

Separation of all the sources requires a multistag...Show More

In this paper, a nonlinear relation between the instantaneous MIMO system a...Show More
This work proposes a blind multiuser equalization algorithm (BMEA) for multirate (variable processing gain or multicode) DS/CDMA systems in multipath which is an extension of the single-rate BMEA using cumulant based inverse filter criteria (IFC) proposed by Chi et al., by converting real multirate users into single-rate (i.e., same spreading factor) virtual users. The proposed multirate BMEA also...Show More
Higher order statistics-based inverse filter criteria (IFC) have been effectively used for blind equalization of single-input multiple-output (SIMO) systems. Recently, Chi and Chen reported a relationship between the unknown SIMO system and the optimum equalizer designed by the IFC for finite signal-to-noise ratio (SNR). In this paper, based on this relationship, an iterative fast Fourier transfor...Show More
The objective of the beamforming with the exploitation of a sensor array is to enhance the signals of the sources from desired directions, suppress the noises and the interfering signals from other directions, and/or simultaneously provide the localization of the associated sources. In this paper, we present a higher order cumulant-based beamforming algorithm, namely, the super-exponential blind a...Show More
Ding and Ngugen proposed a kurtosis maximization algorithm and Chi arid Chen proposed a fast kurtosis maximization algorithm (FKMA) for blind separation of a instantaneous mixture of colored non-Gaussian sources.

The peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR) problem of OFDM systems can be efficiently resolved using the partial transmit sequences (PTS) method, for which data recovery requires side information (SI) about the phase rotation factors used at the transmitter. With no loss of spectrum efficiency, two embedded SI transmission schemes (I and II), including frequency-domain marking algorithms and decision ...Show More
