This paper addresses the problem of centralized transceiver design for multiuser MIMO amplify-and-forward (AF) relaying within a cloud radio access network (C-RAN). The aim is to optimize AF matrices of remote radio heads (RRHs) acting as relays, in order to improve the reception quality at the destinations while reducing network power consumption and feedback overhead on the fronthaul links. A two-stage method is proposed to solve this problem efficiently. The first stage relies on interference leakage minimization subject to per-relay transmit power constraints along with signal preserving constraints. To reduce the total network power, RRH selection is achieved by incorporating in the objective function a regularization term that promotes group-sparsity among the RRHs. In the second stage, to reduce feedback overhead, a different penalty term is added that induces weight-level sparsity in the AF matrix of each active RRH. For both stages, low-complexity iterative algorithms based on the alternating direction method of multipliers (ADMM) are developed to solve the corresponding regularized problems with low complexity. Extensive simulations are performed to demonstrate the explicit benefits of the proposed design method, which results in notably lower power consumption, computational complexity and weight feedback overhead than conventional approaches.

Space time adaptive processing (STAP) detects targets by computing adaptive weight vectors for each cell under test using its covariance matrix, as estimated from surrounding secondary cells. In this context, the non-homogeneity detector (NHD) excludes the anomalous secondary cells that adversely affect the detection performance. The existing robust NHDs require estimating the covariance matrix of each secondary cell, which hinders their implementation in modern radars with large-dimensional range cells. In this paper, we propose a new low-complexity NHD that is suitable for highly correlated clutter environments with both Gaussian and non-Gaussian heavy-tailed distributions. The proposed detector, which is based on the projection depth function from the field of robust statistics, features a nonparametric and covariance-free test statistic. As a result, its computational complexity is much lower than that of current NHDs, such as the widely used normalized adaptive matched filter (NAMF) detector, especially for large-dimensional range cells. In Monte Carlo simulations with different clutter distributions and radar system configurations, the proposed detector shows a comparable performance to that of NAMF. The low complexity and robust performance of the new detector make it particularly attractive for real time applications.

A Rational Distributed Process-level Account of Independence Judgment

It is inconceivable how chaotic the world would look to humans, faced with innumerable decisions a day to be made under uncertainty, had they been lacking the capacity to distinguish the relevant from the irrelevant---a capacity which computationally amounts to handling probabilistic independence relations. The highly parallel and distributed computational machinery of the brain suggests that a satisfying process-level account of human independence judgment should also mimic these features. In this work, we present the first rational, distributed, message-passing, process-level account of independence judgment, called D\mathcal{D}^\ast. Interestingly, D\mathcal{D}^\ast shows a curious, but normatively-justified tendency for quick detection of dependencies, whenever they hold. Furthermore, D\mathcal{D}^\ast outperforms all the previously proposed algorithms in the AI literature in terms of worst-case running time, and a salient aspect of it is supported by recent work in neuroscience investigating possible implementations of Bayes nets at the neural level. D\mathcal{D}^\ast nicely exemplifies how the pursuit of cognitive plausibility can lead to the discovery of state-of-the-art algorithms with appealing properties, and its simplicity makes D\mathcal{D}^\ast potentially a good candidate for pedagogical purposes.

... To find the elements of the FIM Υ, we need to calculate the second order partial derivatives (hessian matrix) of the loglikelihood function L(θ) with respect to each of the channel parameters θ as shown in (40), and take the expectation with respect to the corresponding noise tensor unfoldings. With (36) and (37), the partial derivatives of L(θ) in (38) and (39) with respect to a single channel parameter are: ...

... This is an important issue to highlight as improving communication through FD transmission requires knowledge of estimating both the RIS assisted channels and the non-RIS assisted channels: the direct-path between the AP and UE or the self-interference at the AP and UE. However, having separate channel estimation stages where the RIS is turned "off" then "on" leads to extra pilot overhead compared to jointly estimating all channels with what the least squares solution provides in [38], [39] for HD and [16] for FD scenarios. ...

In addition, typical pulse-based synchronization methods without reference clock are presented in [11][12][13]. The clock offset estimation methods are given in [11] and [12] with assuming the ideal condition that takes neither propagation delay nor clock skew into account. ...

... The second is the Kdistribution which, although encountered in real applications [47], has been scarcely explored in the literature. In both cases, the TIR between each pair of the transmitting and receiving antenna elements is generated as a spherical invariant random vector (SIRV) [48], [49] which is assumed to be known by the radar system as in [10], [11], [21]. For a comprehensive evaluation of the proposed method, we use K = 1000 Monte Carlo simulation trials, each with a different TIR for both considered TIR distributions and antenna sizes. ...
