Estimating the directions of arrival (DOAs) of multiple sources from a single snapshot obtained by a coherent antenna array is a well-known problem, which can be addressed by sparse signal reconstruction methods, where the DOAs are estimated from the peaks of the recovered high-dimensional signal. In this paper, we consider a more challenging DOA estimation task where the array is composed of non-coherent sub-arrays (i.e., sub-arrays that observe different unknown phase shifts due to using low-cost unsynchronized local oscillators). We formulate this problem as the reconstruction of a joint sparse and low-rank matrix and solve its convex relaxation. While the DOAs can be estimated from the solution of the convex problem, we further show how an improvement is obtained if instead one estimates from this solution the phase shifts, creates phase-corrected observations and applies another final (plain, coherent) sparsity-based DOA estimation. Numerical experiments show that the proposed approach outperforms strategies that are based on non-coherent processing of the sub-arrays as well as other sparsity-based methods.

Correlation-based techniques used for frame synchronization can suffer significant performance degradation over multi-path frequency-selective channels. In this paper, we propose a joint frame synchronization and channel estimation (JFSCE) framework
as a remedy to this problem. This framework, however, increases the size of the resulting combined channel vector which should capture both the channel impulse response (CIR) vector and the frame boundary offset and, therefore, its estimation becomes more challenging. On the other hand, because the combined channel vector is sparse, sparse channel estimation methods can be applied. We propose several JFSCE methods using popular sparse signal recovery (SSR) algorithms which exploit the sparsity of the combined channel vector. Subsequently, the sparse channel vector estimate is used to design a sparse equalizer. Our simulation results and experimental measurements using software defined radios (SDRs) show that in some scenarios our proposed method improves the overall system performance significantly, in terms of the mean square error (MSE) between the transmitted and the equalized symbols compared to the conventional method.
In this paper, we show that a multi-mode antenna (MMA) is an interesting alternative to a conventional phased antenna array for direction-of-arrival (DoA) estimation. By MMA we mean a single physical radiator with multiple ports, which excite differe
nt characteristic modes. In contrast to phased arrays, a closed-form mathematical model of the antenna response, like a steering vector, is not straightforward to define for MMAs. Instead one has to rely on calibration measurement or electromagnetic field (EMF) simulation data, which is discrete. To perform DoA estimation, array interpolation technique (AIT) and wavefield modeling (WM) are suggested as methods with inherent interpolation capabilities, fully taking antenna nonidealities like mutual coupling into account. We present a non-coherent DoA estimator for low-cost receivers and show how coherent DoA estimation and joint DoA and polarization estimation can be performed with MMAs. Utilizing these methods, we assess the DoA estimation performance of an MMA prototype in simulations for both 2D and 3D cases. The results show that WM outperforms AIT for high SNR. Coherent estimation is superior to non-coherent, especially in 3D, because non-coherent suffers from estimation ambiguities. In conclusion, DoA estimation with a single MMA is feasible and accurate.
With the introduction of shared spectrum sensing and beam-forming based multi-antenna transceivers, 5G networks demand spectrum sensing to identify opportunities in time, frequency, and spatial domains. Narrow beam-forming makes it difficult to have
spatial sensing (direction-of-arrival, DoA, estimation) in a centralized manner, and with the evolution of paradigms such as artificial intelligence of Things (AIOT), ultra-reliable low latency communication (URLLC) services and distributed networks, intelligence for edge devices (Edge-AI) is highly desirable. It helps to reduce the data-communication overhead compared to cloud-AI-centric networks and is more secure and free from scalability limitations. However, achieving desired functional accuracy is a challenge on edge devices such as microcontroller units (MCU) due to area, memory, and power constraints. In this work, we propose low complexity neural network-based algorithm for accurate DoA estimation and its efficient mapping on the off-the-self MCUs. An ad-hoc graphical-user interface (GUI) is developed to configure the STM32 NUCLEO-H743ZI2 MCU with the proposed algorithm and to validate its functionality. The performance of the proposed algorithm is analyzed for different signal-to-noise ratios (SNR), word-length, the number of antennas, and DoA resolution. In-depth experimental results show that it outperforms the conventional statistical spatial sensing approach.
In this paper, we put forth a new joint sparse recovery algorithm called signal space matching pursuit (SSMP). The key idea of the proposed SSMP algorithm is to sequentially investigate the support of jointly sparse vectors to minimize the subspace d
istance to the residual space. Our performance guarantee analysis indicates that SSMP accurately reconstructs any row $K$-sparse matrix of rank $r$ in the full row rank scenario if the sampling matrix $mathbf{A}$ satisfies $text{krank}(mathbf{A}) ge K+1$, which meets the fundamental minimum requirement on $mathbf{A}$ to ensure exact recovery. We also show that SSMP guarantees exact reconstruction in at most $K-r+lceil frac{r}{L} rceil$ iterations, provided that $mathbf{A}$ satisfies the restricted isometry property (RIP) of order $L(K-r)+r+1$ with $$delta_{L(K-r)+r+1} < max left { frac{sqrt{r}}{sqrt{K+frac{r}{4}}+sqrt{frac{r}{4}}}, frac{sqrt{L}}{sqrt{K}+1.15 sqrt{L}} right },$$ where $L$ is the number of indices chosen in each iteration. This implies that the requirement on the RIP constant becomes less restrictive when $r$ increases. Such behavior seems to be natural but has not been reported for most of conventional methods. We further show that if $r=1$, then by running more than $K$ iterations, the performance guarantee of SSMP can be improved to $delta_{lfloor 7.8K rfloor} le 0.155$. In addition, we show that under a suitable RIP condition, the reconstruction error of SSMP is upper bounded by a constant multiple of the noise power, which demonstrates the stability of SSMP under measurement noise. Finally, from extensive numerical experiments, we show that SSMP outperforms conventional joint sparse recovery algorithms both in noiseless and noisy scenarios.
Because of its self-regularizing nature and uncertainty estimation, the Bayesian approach has achieved excellent recovery performance across a wide range of sparse signal recovery applications. However, most methods are based on the real-value signal
model, with the complex-value signal model rarely considered. Typically, the complex signal model is adopted so that phase information can be utilized. Therefore, it is non-trivial to develop Bayesian models for the complex-value signal model. Motivated by the adaptive least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) and the sparse Bayesian learning (SBL) framework, a hierarchical model with adaptive Laplace priors is proposed for applications of complex sparse signal recovery in this paper. The proposed hierarchical Bayesian framework is easy to extend for the case of multiple measurement vectors. Moreover, the space alternating principle is integrated into the algorithm to avoid using the matrix inverse operation. In the experimental section of this work, the proposed algorithm is concerned with both complex Gaussian random dictionaries and directions of arrival (DOA) estimations. The experimental results show that the proposed algorithm offers better sparsity recovery performance than the state-of-the-art methods for different types of complex signals.
