In many modern applications, large-scale sensor networks are used to perform statistical inference tasks. In this paper, we propose Bayesian methods for multiple change-point detection using a sensor network in which a fusion center (FC) can receive a data stream from each sensor. Due to communication limitations, the FC monitors only a subset of the sensors at each time slot. Since the number of change points can be high, we adopt the false discovery rate (FDR) criterion for controlling the rate of false alarms, while minimizing the average detection delay (ADD). We propose two Bayesian detection procedures that handle the communication limitations by monitoring the subset of the sensors with the highest posterior probabilities of change points having occurred. This monitoring policy aims to minimize the delay between the occurrence of each change point and its declaration using the corresponding posterior probabilities. One of the proposed procedures is more conservative than the second one in terms of having lower FDR at the expense of higher ADD. It is analytically shown that both procedures control the FDR under a specified tolerated level and are also scalable in the sense that they attain an ADD that does not increase asymptotically with the number of sensors. In addition, it is demonstrated that the proposed detection procedures are useful for trading off between reduced ADD and reduced average number of observations drawn until discovery. Numerical simulations are conducted for validating the analytical results and for demonstrating the properties of the proposed procedures.

This paper applies error-exponent and dispersion-style analyses to derive finite-blocklength achievability bounds for low-density parity-check (LDPC) codes over the point-to-point channel (PPC) and multiple access channel (MAC). The error-exponent an alysis applies Gallagers error exponent to bound achievable symmetrical and asymmetrical rates in the MAC. The dispersion-style analysis begins with a generalization of the random coding union (RCU) bound from random code ensembles with i.i.d. codewords to random code ensembles in which codewords may be statistically dependent; this generalization is useful since the codewords of random linear codes such as random LDPC codes are dependent. Application of the RCU bound yields improved finite-blocklength error bounds and asymptotic achievability results for i.i.d. random codes and new finite-blocklength error bounds and achievability results for LDPC codes. For discrete, memoryless channels, these results show that LDPC codes achieve first- and second-order performance that is optimal for the PPC and identical to the best-prior results for the MAC.
We present a communication-efficient distributed protocol for computing the Babai point, an approximate nearest point for a random vector ${bf X}inmathbb{R}^n$ in a given lattice. We show that the protocol is optimal in the sense that it minimizes th e sum rate when the components of ${bf X}$ are mutually independent. We then investigate the error probability, i.e. the probability that the Babai point does not coincide with the nearest lattice point. In dimensions two and three, this probability is seen to grow with the packing density. For higher dimensions, we use a bound from probability theory to estimate the error probability for some well-known lattices. Our investigations suggest that for uniform distributions, the error probability becomes large with the dimension of the lattice, for lattices with good packing densities. We also consider the case where $mathbf{X}$ is obtained by adding Gaussian noise to a randomly chosen lattice point. In this case, the error probability goes to zero with the lattice dimension when the noise variance is sufficiently small. In such cases, a distributed algorithm for finding the approximate nearest lattice point is sufficient for finding the nearest lattice point.
Several statistical approaches based on reproducing kernels have been proposed to detect abrupt changes arising in the full distribution of the observations and not only in the mean or variance. Some of these approaches enjoy good statistical propert ies (oracle inequality, ldots). Nonetheless, they have a high computational cost both in terms of time and memory. This makes their application difficult even for small and medium sample sizes ($n< 10^4$). This computational issue is addressed by first describing a new efficient and exact algorithm for kernel multiple change-point detection with an improved worst-case complexity that is quadratic in time and linear in space. It allows dealing with medium size signals (up to $n approx 10^5$). Second, a faster but approximation algorithm is described. It is based on a low-rank approximation to the Gram matrix. It is linear in time and space. This approximation algorithm can be applied to large-scale signals ($n geq 10^6$). These exact and approximation algorithms have been implemented in texttt{R} and texttt{C} for various kernels. The computational and statistical performances of these new algorithms have been assessed through empirical experiments. The runtime of the new algorithms is observed to be faster than that of other considered procedures. Finally, simulations confirmed the higher statistical accuracy of kernel-based approaches to detect changes that are not only in the mean. These simulations also illustrate the flexibility of kernel-based approaches to analyze complex biological profiles made of DNA copy number and allele B frequencies. An R package implementing the approach will be made available on github.
The proliferation of mobile Internet and connected devices, offering a variety of services at different levels of performance, represents a major challenge for the fifth generation wireless networks and beyond. This requires a paradigm shift towards the development of key enabling techniques for the next generation wireless networks. In this respect, visible light communication (VLC) has recently emerged as a new communication paradigm that is capable of providing ubiquitous connectivity by complementing radio frequency communications. One of the main challenges of VLC systems, however, is the low modulation bandwidth of the light-emitting-diodes, which is in the megahertz range. This article presents a promising technology, referred to as optical- non-orthogonal multiple access (O-NOMA), which is envisioned to address the key challenges in the next generation of wireless networks. We provide a detailed overview and analysis of the state-of-the-art integration of O-NOMA in VLC networks. Furthermore, we provide insights on the potential opportunities and challenges as well as some open research problems that are envisioned to pave the way for the future design and implementation of O-NOMA in VLC systems.
We consider the problem of finding the closest lattice point to a vector in n-dimensional Euclidean space when each component of the vector is available at a distinct node in a network. Our objectives are (i) minimize the communication cost and (ii) obtain the error probability. The approximate closest lattice point considered here is the one obtained using the nearest-plane (Babai) algorithm. Assuming a triangular special basis for the lattice, we develop communication-efficient protocols for computing the approximate lattice point and determine the communication cost for lattices of dimension n>1. Based on available parameterizations of reduced bases, we determine the error probability of the nearest plane algorithm for two dimensional lattices analytically, and present a computational error estimation algorithm in three dimensions. For dimensions 2 and 3, our results show that the error probability increases with the packing density of the lattice.
