Space-time rate splitting for the MISO BC with magnitude CSIT

A novel coding strategy is proposed for a broadcast setting with two transmitter (TX) antennas and two single-antenna receivers (RX). The strategy consists of using space-time block coding to send a common message (to be decoded by both RXs) across …

A feature ranking and selection algorithm for machine learning-based step counters

Although ultra wideband (UWB) positioning is considered as one of the most promising solutions for indoor positioning due to its high positioning accuracy, the accuracy in situations with a large number of users will be reduced because the time …

Outage probability minimization for cooperative cognitive radio with best-relay selection under an average interference power constraint

In this contribution, a cognitive radio scenario is considered, where a secondary user (SU) cooperative network is allowed to transmit concurrently with a primary user (PU), provided that the resulting average interference power at the PU receiver is …

CUPID algorithm for cooperative indoor multipath-aided localization

The main drawback today for range-based indoor localization is the requirement of a sufficient amount of fixed reference nodes within radio range of the user. However, these reference nodes, called anchors, are expensive and require professional …

Distributed dynamic resource allocation for cooperative cognitive radio

We consider a cognitive radio (CR) scenario where the signals transmitted by a secondary user are relayed using an amplify-and-forward cooperation protocol. A distributed strategy for power allocation is derived that minimizes the outage probability …

Channel characterization and robust tracking for diversity reception over time-variant off-body wireless communication channels

In the 2.45 GHz band, indoor wireless off-body data communication by a moving person can be problematic due to time-variant signal fading and the consequent variation in channel parameters. Off-body communication specifically suffers from the …
