Distributed sensor networks are a significant technology nowadays. Inexpensive, smart devices with multiple sensors provide opportunities for instrumenting, monitoring and controlling targeting systems. Such sensor nodes have capability for acquiring and embedded-processing of variety of data forms. Collaborative signalprocessing and fusion algorithms are needed to aggregate the distributed data from among the nodes in the network, including possibly multiple modalities of data within a sensor node, to make decisions in a reliable and efficient manner. One of the important sensor network applications is target classification in battlefields. This paper presents improved moving vehicle target classification performance using data obtained from sensor networks with collaboration both across nodes and within a node in terms of multimodal fusion. Results show that a 50% relative improvement in classification error can be obtained using collaboration both in the case of single vehicle target and those involving multi-vehicle convoys.

In this paper, the elitist resampling particle filter (ERPF) is introduced. The ERPF is an approach to combine generic particle filters, i.e., the SIS and SIR particle filter, based on an evolutionary selection of particles, which introduces a long-term memory to the selected group of the particles. Thereby, the ERPF aims at fusing the advantages, e.g., robustness and computational efficiency, and mitigating the drawbacks of each filter, e.g., degeneracy and sample impoverishment. Two variants of the ERPF are presented in this paper: the discrete ERPF (DERPF) and the continuous ERPF (CERPF), which to the authors' knowledge represent new forms of particle filters. The two proposed hybrids are compared to the corresponding original filters using two well-established benchmark models to illustrate that the evolutionary combinations provide a better estimation accuracy and exhibit an increased robustness against outliers.

Intelligent reflecting surface (IRS) is a promising next-generation technology for increasing channel capacity and reducing power consumption. In this paper, we present a novel IRS configuration consisting of a small number of active elements in an optimized L-shaped sparse array to separately estimate the channels between the base station and the IRS, and the channel between multiple user equipment and the IRS. Structured matrix completion techniques are used to attain superior direction-ofarrival estimation performance with an increased number of degrees of freedom. The training overhead is minimized in the proposed system and is not directly related to the number of IRS reflecting elements. The proposed sparse array strategy simultaneously resolves multiple sources with a high accuracy and outperforms the L-shaped uniform array counterpart using the same number of active elements. The effectiveness of the proposed strategy is confirmed using simulation results.

When tracking extended objects, it is often the case that the shape of the target cannot be fully observed due to issues of visibility, artifacts, or high noise, which can change with time. In these situations, it is a common approach to model targets as simpler shapes instead, such as ellipsoids or cylinders. However, these simplifications cause information loss from the original shape, which could be used to improve the estimation results. In this paper, we propose a way to recover information from these lost details in the form of a stochastic boundary, whose parameters can be dynamically estimated from received measurements. The benefits of this approach are evaluated by tracking an object using noisy, real-life RGBD data.

Anti-jamming technique has become an increasing demand in radar systems due to the fast development of electronic countermeasures. To alleviate the extremely difficult deceptive jammer suppression problem, frequency diverse array (FDA) based multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) radar is devised and a sample selection based deceptive jammer suppression method is developed. The basic principle of the FDA-MIMO radar regarding its superiority in canceling the deceptive jammers is studied in detail. In order to handle the pseudo-random distribution issue of false targets within the secondary training samples, a subspace projection based sample selection method is proposed. When certain a priori knowledge of the true target is available, the time-delayed false targets can be adequately suppressed, even if the latter are in the mainlobe direction. Simulation examples demonstrate the effectiveness of our solution.

In radio astronomy images are made of astronomical objects as they appear at radio frequencies using a technique called aperture synthesis. Signats from several antennas are correlated and integrated over time. The data collected over several hours are further processed to calibrate the instrument and to form an image or intensity map. The calibration and imaging algorithms do not use the autocorrelations because the receiver noise is unstable and hence considered unknown. In literature the Cramer Rao Bound for the calibration problem has been derived assuming that the autocorrelations are part of the available data. If the assumption is correct that the autocorrelations do not contain useful information when the receiver noise is unknown, than the CRB for the case that the autocorrelations are not part of the data will be the same. In this paper we will derive the CRB excluding the autocorrelations and show that it indeed does not matter whether the autocorrelations are included or not.

In this paper we address the design and evaluation of a mismatched filter for application in GSM passive bistatic radar (PBR). We discuss various exisiting approaches for the filter design, which originate from active radar systems and have to be adapted for PBR. Our proposed method minimizes the L-p-norm of the sidelobe level energies under an upper-bound constraint on the SNR loss relative to the matched filter. We show the suitibility of this approach for GSM based PBR and give a performance evaluation. Based on simulated and measured data, we show that the proposed filter can improve range resultion and target detection of the PBR system.

Non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) is considered to be a key technology for fifth-generation mobile communication networks due to its superior spectral efficiency. In this paper, the problem of energy efficient subchannel and power allocation is investigated for a downlink NOMA heterogeneous network. The energy efficient resource allocation problem is first formulated as a mixed integer nonconvex optimization problem. By exploiting convex relaxation and dual decomposition techniques, a closed-form expression is derived via a Lagrangian approach. Simulation results show that the proposed algorithm can converge within ten iterations and obtain high system energy efficiency.

A quantitative model for interferogram data collected in a quantum-limited hyperspectral imaging system is derived. This model accounts for the geometry of the interferometer the Poisson noise, and the parameterization of the mean of the noise in terms of the autocorrelation function of the incident optical signal. An estimation-theoretic approach to recovering the image spectrum is derived, based on the likelihood function for the received data. The computations proposed constitute an alternating minimization algorithm.
