Introduction
I am currently working on Integrated Sensing and Communications (ISAC) in which dual-functional devices aim to not only communicate with each other and the base stations but also sense the surrounding environments with the common shared resources.

Description
- I am working on semantic and goal-oriented signal processing in communications where the goal at the transmitter is generally to send a compressed version of the information semantics and not bits and at the receiver often not to reconstruct the underlying message , but to enable the receiver to make the right inference or to take the right action at the right time.

Evaluating the statistical dimension is a common tool to determine the asymptotic phase transition in compressed sensing problems with Gaussian ensemble. Unfortunately, the exact evaluation of the statistical dimension is very difficult and it has become standard to replace it with an upper-bound. To ensure that this technique is suitable, [1] has...
We study the problem of reconstructing a block-sparse signal from compressively sampled measurements. In certain applications, in addition to the inherent block-sparse structure of the signal, some prior information about the block support, i.e. blocks containing non-zero elements, might be available. Although many block-sparse recovery algorithms...
In this work, we consider the problem of recovering analysis-sparse signals from under-sampled measurements when some prior information about the support is available. We incorporate such information in the recovery stage by suitably tuning the weights in a weighted
$\ell_1$
analysis optimization problem. Indeed, we try to set the weights such tha...
We study the problem of recovering a block-sparse signal from under-sampled observations. The non-zero values of such signals appear in few blocks, and their recovery is often accomplished using an
$\ell_{1,2}$
optimization problem. In applications such as DNA micro-arrays, some extra information about the distribution of non-zero blocks is avail...
This work considers the use of Total variation (TV) minimization in the recovery of a given gradient sparse vector from Gaussian linear measurements. It has been shown in recent studies that there exist a sharp phase transition behavior in TV minimization in asymptotic regimes. The phase transition curve specifies the boundary of success and failur...
Integrated sensing and communications (ISAC) is a promising component of 6G networks, fusing communication and radar technologies to facilitate new services. Additionally, the use of extremely large-scale antenna arrays (ELLA) at the ISAC common receiver not only facilitates terahertz-rate communication links but also significantly enhances the acc...
In the near future, the Internet of Things will interconnect billions of devices, forming a vast network where users sporadically transmit short messages through multi-path wireless channels. These channels are characterized by the superposition of a small number of scaled and delayed copies of Dirac spikes. At the receiver, the observed signal is...
Several previous works have addressed the inherent trade-off between allocating resources in the power and time domains to pilot and data signals in multiple input multiple output systems over block-fading channels. In particular, when the channel changes rapidly in time, channel aging degrades the performance in terms of spectral efficiency withou...
We consider the problem of gridless blind deconvolution and demixing (GB2D) in scenarios where multiple users communicate messages through multiple unknown channels, and a single base station (BS) collects their contributions. This scenario arises in various communication fields, including wireless communications, the Internet of Things, over-the-a...
Resource allocation and multiple access schemes are instrumental for the success of communication networks, which facilitate seamless wireless connectivity among a growing population of uncoordinated and non-synchronized users. In this paper, we present a novel random access scheme that addresses one of the most severe barriers of current strategie...
The multi-user linearly-separable distributed computing problem is considered here, in which $N$ servers help to compute the real-valued functions requested by $K$ users, where each function can be written as a linear combination of up to $L$ (generally non-linear) subfunctions. Each server computes a fraction $\gamma$ of the subfunctions, then com...
Emerging communication networks are envisioned to support massive wireless connectivity of heterogeneous devices with sporadic traffic and diverse requirements in terms of latency, reliability, and bandwidth. Providing multiple access to an increasing number of uncoordinated users and sharing the limited resources become essential in this context....
This work is about recovering an analysis-sparse vector, i.e. sparse vector in some transform domain, from under-sampled measurements. In real-world applications, there often exist random analysis-sparse vectors whose distribution in the analysis domain are known. To exploit this information, a weighted $\ell_1$ analysis minimization is often consi...
This work considers a collocated radar scenario where a probing signal is emitted toward the targets of interest and records the received echoes. Estimating the relative delay-Doppler shifts of the targets allows determining their relative locations and velocities. However, the received radar measurements are often affected by impulsive non-Gaussia...
We address the line spectral estimation problem with multiple measurement corrupted vectors. Such scenarios appear in many practical applications such as radar, optics, and seismic imaging in which the measurements can be modeled as the sum of a spectrally sparse and a block-sparse signal known as outlier. Our aim is to demix the two components and...
One-bit compressive sensing (CS) is an advanced version of sparse recovery in which the sparse signal of interest can be recovered from extremely quantized measurements. Namely, only the sign of each measurement is available to us. In many applications, the ground-truth signal is not sparse itself, but can be represented in a redundant
dictionary....

This work presents a novel framework for random access (RA) in crowded scenarios of massive multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) systems. A huge portion of the system resources is dedicated as orthogonal pilots for accurate channel estimation which imposes a huge training overhead. This overhead can be highly mitigated by exploiting intrinsic angu...

recognized as a technique for reconstruction of a low-rank
matrix from compressively sampled measurements when some
prior information about the column and row subspaces of the
matrix is available. We derive the conditions and the associated
recovery guarantees of weighted nuclear norm minimizatio...
Matrix completion refers to completing a low-rank matrix from a few observed elements of its entries and has been known as one of the significant and widely-used problems in recent years. The required number of observations for exact completion is directly proportional to rank and the coherency parameter of the matrix. In many applications, there m...

We address the problem of estimating time and frequency shifts of a known waveform in the presence of multiple measurement vectors (MMVs). This problem naturally arises in radar imaging and wireless communications. Specifically, a signal ensemble is observed, where each signal of the ensemble is formed by a superposition of a small number of scaled...
We consider the problem of corrupted radar superresolution, a generalization of compressed radar super-resolution in which one aims to recover the continuous-valued delay-Doppler pairs of moving objects from a collection of corrupted and noisy measurements. The received signal in this type consists of contributions from objects, outlier and noise....
In this paper, we consider a multiple-input single-output (MISO) linear time-varying system whose output is a superposition of scaled and time-frequency shifted versions of inputs. The goal of this paper is to determine system characteristics and input signals from the single output signal. More precisely, we want to recover the continuous time-fre...

With the dominance of digital imaging systems, we are often dealing with discrete-domain samples of an analog image. Due to physical limitations, all imaging devices apply a blurring kernel on the input image before taking samples to form the output pixels. In this paper, we focus on the reconstruction of binary shape images from few blurred sample...

This work is about the total variation (TV) minimization which is used for recovering gradient-sparse signals from compressed measurements. Recent studies indicate that TV minimization exhibits a phase transition behavior from failure to success as the number of measurements increases. In fact, in large dimensions, TV minimization succeeds in recov...

In this paper, we provide a method to recover off-the-grid frequencies of a signal in two-dimensional (2-D) line spectral estimation. Most of the literature in this field focuses on the case in which the only information is spectral sparsity in a continuous domain and does not consider prior information. However, in many applications such as radar...
Compressed Sensing refers to extracting a low-dimensional structured signal of interest from its incomplete random linear observations. A line of recent work has studied that, with the extra prior information about the signal, one can recover the signal with much fewer observations. For this purpose, the general approach is to solve weighted convex...
Recently, there has been a growing interest in estimation of sparse channels as they are observed in underwater acoustic and ultrawideband channels. In this paper we present a new Bayesian sparse channel estimation (SCE) algorithm that, unlike traditional SCE methods, exploits noise statistical information to improve the estimates. The proposed met...
