the problem of unimodular radar waveform design with similarity constraint in spectrally dense environment is considered. the corresponding optimization problem is nonconvex and additionally large-scale. Indeed, the waveform length can be of several thousands and the waveform has to be designed in every coherent processing interval. Since the problem is nonconvex, the majorization-minimization (MaMi) method is used for addressing it, and since it is large-scale, the alternating direction method of multipliers (ADMM) is adopted. thus, we develop a computationally efficient approach for solving the problem by using MaMi with proper design of majorization function together with alternating ADMM with newly proposed computationally efficient proximal projections. We evaluate the computational cost of the proposed algorithm and show its fast convergence unmatched by existing approaches in terms of simulations.

An interference suppression method for future wireless relay networks is proposed. It utilizes multi-antenna relay node (RN) to suppress the interference from the user equipment (UE) (e.g. macrocell UE (mUE)) that does not belong to the RN. the proposed scheme is based on aligning the interference into the null space of the receive weight matrix. the proposed method does not require RN to decode the symbols sent from the relay UE (rUE). In addition, the channel state information (CSI) of the channel between the mUE and the relay is not needed at the relay. Simulation results show that the proposed method achieves good performance.

We propose a scalable and energy efficient method for reconstructing a dasiasparsepsila Gauss-Markov random field that is observed by an array of sensors and described over wireless channels to a fusion center. the encoder is universal, i.e. invariant to the statistical model of the source and the channel, and is based on compressed sensing. the reconstruction algorithms exploit the a-priori statistical information about the field and the channel at the fusion center to yield a performance comparable to information theoretic bounds. Furthermore, by putting stringent constraints on the sensing matrix we avoid (or even eliminate) inter-sensor communication while suffering negligible degradation in performance.

A large size phased array is a powerful system for surveillance, but must be appropriately decomposed as subarrays for efficient digital beamforming. One fundamental question is how to configure a large array as subarrays to satisfy various signalprocessing requirements. this work deals with two basic signalprocessing tasks, synthesizing multiple beams at subarray level and adaptively suppressing multiple interferences. Two optimization criteria to jointly design subarray configuration and digital weights for subarrays are proposed. To handle the large number of variables in the optimization formulations, we propose an alternating minimization approach with low computation cost. Numerical simulations are presented to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm.

In this paper, we develop a new class of time division multiple access schemes for bi-directional multiuser communications in cooperative amplify-and-forward relay networks. the proposed schemes enable a flexible trade-off between spectral efficiency and suppression of multiuser interference. the relay weights are chosen to maximize the minimum received quality-of-service of all the users under constraints on the individual and the total power at the relays. Simulation results demonstrate that the selection of the scheme has a considerable impact on the achieved throughput of the relay network.

Coherent wideband DOA estimation for non-uniform linear arrays (NLA) is considered. array interpolation is used for two mappings. In the first mapping, NLA is mapped to a uniform linear array withthe same array aperture. In the second mapping covariance matrices for each frequency bin are mapped to a single one at the center frequency for coherent DOA estimation. A Wiener formulation is used for array interpolation where bothsignal and noise powers are estimated with maximum likelihood method. Different approaches are compared and the advantages of wideband processing versus narrowband processing are outlined. the accuracy of the SNR estimation is high and it is shown that Wiener array interpolation significantly improves the DOA estimation performance in both narrowband and wideband processing.

Subspace estimation is of importance to high-resolution direction estimation in arrayprocessing. In this paper, a new recursive least-squares (RLS) algorithm is proposed for null space estimation, which is used to estimate or track the directions of coherent and/or incoherent signals impinging on a uniform linear array (ULA). Especially by investigating the expectation computation of an inverse matrix, the statistical analysis of the RLS algorithm is studied in the mean and mean-squares senses in stationary environment, and further the mean-square-error (MSE) and mean-square derivation (MSD) learning curves are derived explicitly. the theoretical analyses and effectiveness of the proposed RLS algorithm are substantiated through numerical examples.

RF 30 GHz ray-tracing simulation results are presented from a conceptual Massive-Multiple Input Multiple Output (M-MIMO) propagation model in an urban canyon. the usage of Constant Envelope (CE) RF signals is evaluated in both propagation ray-rich and ray-sparse scenarios. Multiple mobile terminals are simulated each employing single carrier Phase Shift Keying (PSK). It is found that once an operational link budget is achieved CE transmitters have negligible effect on a received Error Vector Magnitude (EVM). Finally it is found that the EVM is a function of both richness of propagation rays as well as the relative proximities of mobile users. A worst-case EVM of circa 25% is observed when terminals are separated by 1m reducing to circa 5% when terminals are separated by more than 4m.

One of the applications of advanced arraysignalprocessing is immersion ultrasonic non-destructive testing (NDT), where a solid test sample and an array of transducers are immersed in water, for the purpose of imaging the test sample. To do so, the knowledge of the shape of the upper surface of the test sample is needed. We model the interface between water and the solid as an incoherently spatially distributed reflector. We then develop a covariance fitting based approach to estimate the parameters of the shape of the upper surface of the test sample. Withthe knowledge of the estimated shape of this surface, we use the same approach to estimate the parameters of the shape of a crack inside the test sample. Numerical simulations are conducted to show the accuracy of the proposed approach.

Higher Order Statistics (HOS) have been proposed to achieve improvements over second order statistics arrayprocessing for various applications. We investigate the potential for angle estimation and source resolution with a very small planar array with 3 elements. We use the MUSIC method as generic DOA estimator. Using standard arraytheory we evaluate conditions under which an improvement in resolution can be obtained. A critical feature is the higher sensitivity of HOS methods to sources of unequal power. In this case standard MUSIC can perform better. A parallel complementary use of both methods is therefore recommended.
