Abstract—Next generation communication systems require
accurate beam alignment to counteract the impairments that
characterize propagation in high-frequency bands. The overhead
of the pilot sequences required to select the best beam pair is
prohibitive when codebooks contain a large number of beams, as
is the case in practice. To remedy this issue, some schemes exploit
information about the user location to predict the best beam pair.
However, these schemes (i) involve no measurements whatsoever,
which generally results in a highly suboptimal predicted beam,
and (ii) are not robust to localization errors. To address these
limitations, this paper builds upon the notion of radio map to
develop two algorithms that attain a balance between the quality
of the obtained beam pair and measurement overhead. The
proposed algorithms predict the received power corresponding to
each pair and measure just the Q pairs with highest prediction.
While the first algorithm targets simplicity, the second one
relies on a Bayesian approach to endow the prediction process
with robustness to localization error. The performance of both
algorithms is shown to widely outperform existing methods using
ray-tracing data.

Reducing the large sidelobes of multicarrier signals
is crucial to prevent adjacent channel interference. Spectral
precoding is an effective approach toward this goal, at the
expense of throughput loss due to precoder redundancy; thus,
it is of interest to explore alternative precoder designs with
improved performance at lower redundancies. We present a
novel precoder which minimizes radiated power within a userselectable
frequency region. The structure of the precoding
matrix is chosen to allow efficient mitigation of in-band distortion
at the receiver by means of iterative and successive interference
cancellation, while completely avoiding distortion to protected
and pilot subcarriers. By exploiting the low-rank properties of
constituent blocks, computational complexity can be significantly
reduced with little impact on sidelobe reduction. Simulation
results show the benefits of the proposed design, which is
particularly effective in redundancy-limited settings targeting
high spectral efficiency.

We study beamforming cancellation for a full-duplex (FD) wideband millimeter wave (mmWave) point-to-point bidirectional link in which both multicarrier-based nodes transmit and receive simultaneously and on the same frequency. The focus is on hybrid architectures in which the analog subblock of the beamformer, common to all subcarriers, is fully-connected and based on phase shifters with finite resolution, to avoid frontend saturation by mitigating FD-induced self-interference in the analog domain.

Mobile communication has evolved from 1G voice-focused systems to 4G
data and mobile broadband services, with the exponential increase in mobile
data volume and connected devices leading to the development of the Fifth
Generation (5G) mobile network. The 5G network is expected to improve
key performance indicators such as data rate, massive connectivity, latency,
network reliability, and energy efficiency. To meet these requirements, the
5G air interface must be highly flexible, spectrally efficient, reliable, scalable,
and energy-efficient.
Among various waveforms proposed for the 5G radio interface, CPOFDM
was chosen due to its inherent advantages such as robustness to
multipath, compatibility with MIMO, low complexity, and high spectral efficiency.
However, it suffers from large spectrum sidelobes, peak-to-averagepower-
ratio, and sensitivity to synchronization errors. The focus of this
thesis is on the large spectrum sidelobes of OFDM that cause high out-ofband
radiation resulting in adjacent channel interference. Therefore, reducing
spectral leakage to adjacent channels is crucial for efficient spectrum
utilization.
Numerous techniques for reducing out-of-band radiation (OBR) have
been proposed in the literature, each with its advantages and drawbacks.
The performance of an OBR reduction technique is not only measured by
its ability to suppress out-of-band emission but also by key performance indicators
(KPIs) such as computational complexity, spectral efficiency, in-band
distortion, and spectrum overshoot. Balancing key performance indicators
(KPIs) is crucial when reducing OBR since it typically involves a tradeoff
between one or more performance parameters. However, the tradeoffs are
not uniform across different OBR reduction techniques. Thus, it is essential
to strike a balance between the KPIs to meet the varying requirements of
different use-case scenarios.
The thesis presents multiple innovative designs for OBR suppression in
multicarrier systems to prevent adjacent channel interference. These designs
offer the flexibility to select a frequency range through a spectral weighting
function that prioritizes certain frequencies. Additionally, the proposed designs
are adaptable enough to enable tradeoffs among the aforementioned
KPIs to fulfill the diverse requirements of various applications and scenarios.
An effective time-domain windowing technique is proposed that that is
both effective and simple, and transparent at the receiver. The proposed optimal
window design has the flexibility to shape the power spectral density
to focus on OBR at the frequency ranges of interest, unlike traditional windowing
approaches. Additionally, the design optimizes OBR performance
across different frequency regions based on the system’s requirements. The
thesis also presents novel frequency-domain spectral precoding approaches
that can tradeoff between OBR performance and complexity, which is especially
of interest for battery-operated or low-power devices. The proposed
design allows for control over the amount of distortion on data subcarriers,
which is determined by a user-selectable parameter, and influences receiver
complexity.
A joint spectral precoding and windowing design is also presented that
leverages the advantages of both approaches. By optimizing the precoder
and window coefficients to reduce radiated power within a specified frequency
range, the design achieves a superior trade-off between out-of-band
radiation (OBR), throughput, and complexity compared to using these techniques
individually. The results demonstrate the effectiveness of this approach.
Finally, the thesis presents memory-based precoding approach to
mitigate the issue of large sidelobes. By incorporating memory into the precoder,
out-of-band radiation (OBR) performance can be improved without
compromising spectral efficiency, albeit at the expense of increased computational
complexity. The novel memory-based precoder is designed to
minimize the total OBR within a user-defined frequency range. Additionally,
this technique enables control over spectral peaks, thereby allowing for
flexible OBR levels.

Double JPEG compression detection has become a core issue in image forensics, as it provides information about the processing history of the image and its authenticity. Several recent works address this problem by exploiting the potential of CNNs  to achieve state-of-the-art performance on test datasets. Unfortunately, those schemes are typically tailored to their specific training conditions and suffer a significant drop of performance in real-life scenarios. This paper aims at assessing the influence of quantization table mismatch (with regards to those seen in training) in the detection of double JPEG compression. Experimental results show inconsistency between different sets of quantization tables, with trained models yielding significantly worse results on unknown sets. This effect is also evident in a more realistic setting, where it appears to be more noticeable for sources falling in operating regions with greater inconsistency.

Enabling simultaneous transmission and reception on the same carrier frequency, i.e., full-duplex (FD) communication, critically requires that the self-interference (SI) be sufficiently suppressed. We investigate the design of precoders and combiners for an FD millimeter wave point-to-point bidirectional link, where dense antenna arrays provide an opportunity for SI suppression via beamforming cancellation. In practice the precoders and combiners are usually implemented in a hybrid digital/analog fashion with a reduced number of radio frequency (RF) chains, and it becomes necessary to overcome a number of limitations imposed by this structure. We focus on a hybrid architecture with a phase shifter-based fully-connected analog stage, assuming finite-resolution phase shifters. To avoid analog-to-digital converter saturation at the receiver, the proposed design aims at cancelling SI at the analog combiner output. Although accurate SI suppression is difficult with low-resolution phase shifters, our design is able to provide reasonable performance, significantly improving upon previous approaches, and allowing to efficiently exploit the availability of RF chains to partially compensate for coarse phase quantization effects.

Multicarrier modulation has been adopted in many modern communication systems because of its many appealing 
properties. Its relatively high out-of-band radiation has spurred many techniques to shape the power spectral density (PSD) 
of multicarrier signals, including spectral precoding and pulse shaping. We derive a general expression for the PSD which is 
valid for subcarrier-specific pulses and for spectral precoders operating over multiple blocks. The only statistical assumptions 
on the vector-valued sequence modulating the active subcarriers are wide-sense cyclostationarity and properness. The applicability 
of the result to a number of popular multicarrier formats is discussed.

Configuring precoders and combiners is a major
challenge to deploy practical multiple-input multiple-output
(MIMO) millimeter wave (mmWave) communication systems
with large antenna arrays. Most prior work addresses the problem
focusing on a total transmit power constraint. In practical
transmitters, however, power amplifiers must operate within their
linear range, so that a power constraint applies to each one
of the input signals to these devices. Therefore, precoder and
combiner designs should incorporate per-antenna or per-radio
frequency (RF) chain transmit power constraints. We focus on
such problem for frequency-selective channels with multicarrier
modulation, and assuming hybrid analog/digital architectures
based on fully connected analog blocks implemented with finite resolution
phase shifters. We first derive an all-digital solution
which aims to maximize spectral efficiency. Then, we develop
hybrid precoders and combiners by approximately matching
the corresponding all-digital matrices while still enforcing the
power constraints. Numerical results show that the proposed
all-digital design performs close to the upper bound given
by the standard waterfilling-based solution with a total power
constraint. Additionally, the hybrid designs exhibit a moderate
loss even when low-resolution phase shifters are considered.

Spectral precoding and windowing are two effective approaches to reduce out-of-band radiation (OBR) in multicarrier systems. Their performance comes at the price of reduced throughput and additional computational complexity, so there is strong motivation for simultaneously using both techniques. We present a novel design that jointly optimizes the precoder and window coefficients to minimize radiated power within a user-selectable frequency region. Results show that the proposed design achieves a better OBR/throughput/complexity tradeoff than either of these individual techniques separately.

Orthogonal precoding is a very effective approach to reduce out-of-band radiation (OBR) in multicarrier systems in order to avoid adjacent channel interference. This is achieved at the cost of introducing precoder redundancy, which results in throughput loss. Introducing memory in the precoding operation has the potential to improve performance without sacrificing additional spectral efficiency, in exchange for extra computational complexity. We present a novel orthogonal memory precoder which minimizes OBR within a user-selectable frequency region and allows for controlling spectral overshoot. Decision-feedback decoding avoids symbol error rate degradation at the receiver.

Full-Duplex (FD) communication has been the object of recent attention, particularly in sub-6 GHz bands. By enabling in-band simultaneous transmission and reception, these techniques present great potential in terms of spectral efficiency, latency, and medium access flexibility, and their extension to millimeter wave (mmWave) bands can be expected to benefit similarly. The dense antenna arrays available in mmWave offer a large number of degrees of freedom which could be exploited towards self-interference (SI) mitigation in FD. However, analog beamforming architectures based on practical phase shifters make this task quite challenging due to the lack of amplitude
control and finite phase resolution. In this context, we consider a single-stream bidirectional point-to-point mmWave FD link, and develop a new analog beamforming design requiring a single radio frequency chain in each direction, explicitly taking into account such hardware-related constraints. Simulation results show that the proposed scheme significantly outperforms previous methods for practical phase shifter resolution values of a few bits.

Orthogonal precoding constitutes a powerful technique to reduce spectrum sidelobes of multicarrier signals. This reduction is bought at the cost of introducing precoder redundancy, which results in some throughput loss and additional precoding/decoding complexity. When the goal is to meet some spectral emission mask constraints, it is desirable to avoid unnecessary sidelobe suppression in order to keep precoder redundancy at a minimum. In this context, we introduce a general framework under which we develop a novel Lagrange multiplier-based mask-compliant orthogonal precoder design targeting minimal redundancy. We also adapt to this framework two previously proposed
designs based on spectral notches and minimum out-of-band emission, respectively, to explicitly incorporate mask constraints. Simulation results are provided to show the effectiveness of the proposed designs under different practical masks for multicarrier wireless systems.

Although active interference cancellation (AIC) is an appealing approach to reduce out-of-band radiation (OBR) in multicarrier systems without distorting data subcarriers, it usually requires a large number of reserved subcarriers to be effective. Introducing memory in AIC precoding may help alleviate this drawback in exchange for some increase in computational complexity. We propose a novel memory AIC precoder which, in contrast to previous schemes, minimizes OBR within a user-selectable frequency region and allows for controlling spectral overshoot.

The energy-aware design of fully analog precoders and combiners is investigated in this paper. To that aim, we consider a millimeter-wave short-packet communication scenario where power consumption and hardware complexity constitute relevant factors. User terminals employ a single channel encoder and, at hardware level, they implement analog architectures that combine phase shifters and switches. Additionally, transmitting terminals also leverage a power control system. An energy efficiency figure of merit is considered, and its optimization subject to finite packet-length constraints is tackled cyclically over disconnected feasible sets. Numerical results are reported
firstly, to illustrate the advantages of the proposed short-packet fully analog design, secondly, to compare its performance to that of on-off beamforming, and finally, to discuss the optimality of the proposed optimization algorithm.

We investigate the design of hybrid precoders and combiners for a millimeter wave (mmWave) point-to-point bidirectional link in which both nodes transmit and receive simultaneously and on the same carrier frequency. In such full-duplex configuration, mitigation of self-interference (SI) becomes critical. Large antenna arrays provide an opportunity for spatial SI suppression in mmWave. We assume a phase-shifter based, fully connected architecture for the analog part of the precoder and combiner. The proposed design, which aims at cancelling SI in the analog domain to avoid frontend saturation, significantly improves on the performance of previous approaches.

Index Modulations, in the form of Spatial Modulation or Polarized Modulation, are gaining traction for both satellite and terrestrial next generation communication systems. Adaptive Spatial Modulation based links are needed to fully exploit the transmission capacity of time-variant channels. The adaptation of code and/or modulation requires a real-time evaluation of the channel achievable rates. Some existing results in the literature present a computational complexity which scales quadratically with the number of transmit antennas and the constellation order. Moreover, the accuracy of these approximations is low and it can lead to wrong Modulation and Coding Scheme selection. In this work we apply a Multilayer Feedforward Neural Network to compute the achievable rate of a generic Index Modulation link. The case of two antennas/polarizations is analyzed in depth, showing not only a one-hundred fold decrement of the Mean Square Error in the estimation of the capacity as compared with existing analytical approximations, but also a fifty times reduction of the computational complexity. Moreover, the extension to an arbitrary number of antennas is explained and supported with simulations. More generally, neural networks can be considered as promising candidates for the practical estimation of complex metrics in communication related settings.

Windowing is an effective approach to reduce out-of-band radiation (OBR) in multicarrier systems in order to avoid adjacent channel interference. However, commonly used window functions are chosen in an ad hoc manner and fixed. We present an optimal window design for windowed-OFDM minimizing OBR within a given frequency region. The proposed technique is flexible in that it allows to specify the range of frequencies involved in the minimization and to apply spectral weighting. The optimal window can be computed offline.

We consider the robust design of a millimeter wave MIMO two-hop system in which source, relay and destination are
equipped with large antenna arrays. The relay implements the amplify-and-forward protocol and operates in full-duplex mode,
thus being subjected to self-interference (SI). Imperfect channel state information (CSI) is assumed in all involved links, including
the SI channel, with a deterministic isotropic bounded model on CSI errors. The proposed robust design seeks to maximize
the worst-case spectral efficiency, accommodates both digital and phase shifter-based analog beamforming, and is computationally
simple; moreover, it does not require knowledge of the size of the CSI uncertainty regions.

Random vibration is present in many fi elds of engineering, although one where it has particular relevance is the industry of ground transportation. The interaction between the wheels and the road induces vibration that transmits to all the components in the vehicle, as well as to the passengers, producing mechanical damage, noise and discomfort. It is hence important to address the effect of vibration during the design and validation phases of development of the vehicle. For that purpose, a method for the synthesis of signals that can be used for numerical simulation or physical testing of the system being designed is needed. In this thesis, an algorithm for the synthesis of random vibration signals is developed, that takes into account the multiaxial and non-Gaussian nature of the process allowing individual adjustment of the kurtosis of the different degrees-of-freedom involved. The proposed algorithm avoids distortion of the spectrum when the kurtosis is being adjusted hence allowing for independent control of the spectral and kurtosis properties of the process. Theoretical expressions relating the control parameters to the kurtosis and the spectrum of the process are provided. An additional bene fit of the proposed algorithm is the possibility to modify the higher-order moments beyond the kurtosis.

The Variation of Prediction Footprint (VPF), formerly used in video forensics for double compression detection and GOP size estimation, is comprehensively investigated to improve its acquisition capabilities and extend its use to video sequences that contain bi-directional frames (B-frames). By relying on a universal rate-distortion analysis applied to a generic double compression scheme, we first explain the rationale behind the presence of the VPF in double compressed videos and then justify the need of exploiting a new source of information such as the motion vectors, to enhance the VPF acquisition process. Finally, we describe the shifted VPF induced by the presence of B-frames and detail how to compensate the shift to avoid misguided GOP size estimations. The experimental results show that the proposed Generalized VPF (G-VPF) technique outperforms the state of the art, not only in terms of double compression detection and GOP size estimation, but also in reducing computational time.

Full-duplex (FD) communication has the potential for significant improvements in spectral efficiency, as long as the problem of self-interference (SI) can be overcome. For millimeter wave (mmWave) systems with large antenna arrays, beamforming based SI mitigation is attractive because of the large number of degrees of freedom available. Previously proposed precoder-combiner designs, however, suffer from a large performance loss under the hardware-constrained architectures required for operation at mmWave. In this context, we develop a new algorithm for the design of constant-amplitude analog precoders and combiners of an FD mmWave single-stream bidirectional link, significantly reducing the aforementioned performance loss.

We consider the design of Amplify & Forward Full-Duplex (FD) relay-assisted communication systems. The FD mode has potential for significant improvements in spectral efficiency, but it suffers from large self-interference (SI) levels.

Beamforming-based SI mitigation is attractive for millimeter wave (mmWave) systems due to the large number of degrees of freedom available with large antenna arrays. We first develop an all-digital beamformer design by imposing a zero-forcing constraint on SI, performing quasi-optimally in terms of spectral efficiency. The design is then modified to fit the hardware-related constraints usually found when operating at mmWave, so that the beamformers can be implemented in the analog domain by using phase shifters, with an acceptable performance loss.

Estimating the unknown parameters of a statistical model based on the observations collected by a sensor network is an important problem with application in multiple fields. In this setting, distributed processing, by which computations are carried out within the network in order to avoid raw data transmission to a fusion centre, is a desirable feature resulting in improved robustness and energy savings. In the presence of incomplete data, the expectation-maximisation (EM) algorithm is a popular means to iteratively compute the maximum likelihood (ML) estimate. It has found application in diverse fields such as computational biology, anomaly detection, speech segmentation, reinforcement learning, and motion estimation, among others. In this chapter we will review the formulation of the centralised EM estimation algorithm as a starting point and then discuss distributed versions well suited for implementation in sensor networks. The first class of these distributed versions requires specialised routing through the network in terms of a linear or circular path visiting all nodes, whereas the second class does away with this requirement by using the concept of network consensus to diffuse information through the network. Our focus will be on a relevant sensor network application, in which the parameter of a linear model is to be estimated in the presence of an unknown number of randomly malfunctioning sensors.

distortion in the data, appropriate decoding is required at the receiver side. Thus, trading off
between implementation complexity, OBR reduction and error rate is important. We present a novel
linear precoder design with flexibility to trade off OBR reduction, precoding/decoding complexity,
and error rate at the receiver. Moreover, the constraint can be imposed on each subcarrier individually
to provide more flexibility. The precoding matrices have low rank, which translates into significant
computational savings. In this way, the requirements of different systems can be satisfied with

Configuring hybrid precoders and combiners is the main challenge to be solved to operate at millimeter wave (mmWave) frequencies. The use of hybrid architectures imposse hardware constraints on the analog precoder that need to be carefully dealt with. In this paper, we develop hybrid precoders and combiners aiming at minimizing the Euclidean distance with respect to the approximate all-digital precoders and combiners maximizing the spectral efficiency under per-antenna power constraints. Numerical results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed design method, whose performance is close to that of the all-digital solution.

The increasing demand of access to data from the users and the enormous number of connected devices requires to enhance the capacity of the wireless networks. They must provide a higher throughput to serve all the requested traffic and they must accommodate the vast number of the Internet of the Things (IoT) devices. In this context, this thesis focus its attention on three different scenarios which have in common that they are a future evolution of current terrestrial and satellite communications systems. These scenarios are Mobile Satellite Systems (MSS), Fixed Satellite Systems (FSS) and next generation 5G networks.

The adoption of Dual Polarization (DP) in MSS along with Multiple Input Multiple Output (MIMO) signal processing techniques allows to double the capacity of previous systems with the same bandwidth and transmit power. On the other hand, the shift to more aggressive frequency reuse patterns in FSS can also provide remarkable gains in the capacity of High Throughput Satellites (HTS) for offering BroadBand Satellite Services (BBS). Linear precoding stands out as a technique to cope with the high level of interference which arises in this scenario. Lastly, energy efficient modulation schemes, like Spatial Modulation (SM) and its many variants, are being proposed for increasing the capacity of future 5G networks since they represent a good trade-off between spectral efficiency, energy efficiency and transmitter complexity.    

Adaptive Coding and Modulation (ACM) technology is omnipresent in most of the communication standards since it enables a better exploitation of the system capacity by means of the adaptation of the Modulation and Coding Scheme (MCS). The link adaptation algorithm is responsible for selecting the optimum MCS, as well as other physical layer parameters in some cases, to adapt the transmission bit rate according to the instantaneous channel capacity of the time variant channel. Thus, link adaptation algorithms permit to increase the spectrum efficiency and guarantee a robust communication, adapting the level of redundancy of the coded information bits and the ruggedness of the modulation scheme.

In this thesis, several link adaptation algorithms are proposed for the three considered scenarios and its effectiveness is supported with simulations. Furthermore, an experimental validation of some algorithms is provided using a real satellite link, implemented with Software Defined Radio (SDR) technology. It is also studied how the carrier detection errors in the Channel State Information (CSI) affect linear precoding in FSS. The errors in the users Signal to Interference and Noise Ratio (SINR) that the gateway calculates to allocate MCS to the users is analyzed statistically and geographically. Moreover, a link adaptation algorithm with an adaptive margin per user is shown to allow a robust communication in the presence of SINR errors whereas the throughput of the system is barely compromised. In addition, a new method for making capacity calculations in SM and Generalized SM systems based on a neural network is proposed, which improves both accuracy and computational complexity with regard to the existing analytical approximations in the literature. With regard to MSS using DP, an adaptation mechanism is proposed in order to select the optimum MIMO mode and MCS which offer the highest throughput. Simulation results in a maritime mobile satellite channel show the dependence of the optimum MIMO mode with the average Signal to Noise Ratio (SNR), and how the spectral efficiency can be maximized whereas a target outage probability can be guaranteed. Lastly, the adaptation in SM systems is also addressed and several methods for deciding the coding rate in SM are given. These include the computation of the capacity prior to  the adaptation, and also the use of a deep neural network. The latter offers very good results, with a spectral efficiency very close to the maximum achievable value.

In practice, data gathered by wireless sensor networks often belongs in a low-dimensional subspace, but it can present missing as well as corrupted values due to sensor malfunctioning and/or malicious attacks. We study the problem of Maximum Likelihood estimation of the low-rank factors of the underlying structure in such situation, and develop an Expectation-Maximization algorithm to this purpose, together with an effective initialization scheme. The proposed method outperforms previous schemes based on an initial faulty sensor identification stage, and is competitive in terms of complexity and performance with convex optimization-based matrix completion approaches.

The accurate synthesis of realistic waveforms conforming to certain speci ca-
tions is a fundamental step in random vibration testing. Since real-time imple-
mentation of digital signal processing systems for random vibration and noise
synthesis necessarily operates frame by frame, the overlap-add (OLA) method,
by which frames are windowed and overlapped, is widely used in practice to
avoid artifacts at frame boundaries. When a wide-sense stationary random
signal is desired, however, the OLA method presents a shortcoming, because
the inherent periodicity of the frame-by-frame process unavoidably produces a
cyclostationary signal, i.e., its statistics present an undesired periodic behav-
ior. We analyze the impact of the window coecients in the cyclostationarity
properties of the synthetic process, and then present algorithms for window de-
sign with the goal of maximizing a measure of its stationarity, considering both
second- and fourth-order statistical properties. The proposed designs are shown
to signi cantly improve the stationarity properties when compared to commonly
used windows.

We study the problem of optimizing the end-to-end performance of a full-duplex filter-and-forward MIMO relay link, consisting
of a source, a relay, and a destination node, by employing linear filtering at each node. The system model accounts for multipath
propagation and self-interference at the relay, as well as transmitter impairments and limited dynamic range at every node. The
design accommodates signals with arbitrary spectra and includes the direct link between the source and destination nodes. Under
the minimum mean square error criterion, the resulting non-convex problem is approximated by a sequence of convex problems
and solved by means of an alternating minimization method. Linear constraints allocate some of the degrees of freedom in the relay
to guarantee a sufficiently small residual self-interference. Simulations quantify the impact of degrees of freedom, the dynamic
range, and the balance between direct and relay paths on the link performance.

Generalized Spatial Modulation (GSM) is being considered for future high-capacity and energy efficient terrestrial networks. A variant such as Polarized Modulation (PMod) has also a role in Dual Polarization Mobile Satellite Systems. The implementation of adaptive GSM systems requires fast methods to evaluate the channel dependent GSM capacity, which amounts to solve multi-dimensional integrals without closed-form solutions. For this purpose, we propose the use of a Multilayer Feedforward Neural Network and an associated feature selection algorithm. The resulting method is highly accurate and with much lower complexity than alternative numerical methods.

López-Valcarce %K spectrum shaping %K winter %X
Spectral precoding is effective in reducing out-of-band radiation
(OBR) in multicarrier systems, but it introduces distortion
in the data, requiring a suitable decoder at the receiver.
Thus, trading off OBR reduction, implementation complexity,
and error rate is of paramount importance. We present a precoder
design which minimizes OBR under constraints on the
distortion at each individual data subcarrier. By judiciously
choosing the distortion profile, the decoding task can be significantly
alleviated, with a sizable improvement in terms of
implementation complexity with respect to previous designs.

López-Valcarce %A C. Mosquera %K full-duplex %K myrada %K winter %X
We propose a novel mode of operation for Amplify-and-
Forward relays in which the spectra of the relay input and
output signals partially overlap. This partial-duplex relaying mode
encompasses half- and full-duplex as particular cases. By viewing
the partial-duplex relay as a bandwidth-preserving Linear
Periodically Time-Varying system, a spectral efficiency analysis
under self-interference is developed. In contrast with previous
works, self-interference is regarded as a useful informationbearing
component rather than simply assimilated to noise. This
approach reveals that previous results regarding the impact of
self-interference on (full-duplex) relay performance are overly
pessimistic. Based on a frequency-domain interpretation of the
effect of self-interference, a number of suboptimal decoding
architectures at the destination node are also discussed. It is found
that the partial-duplex relaying mode may provide an attractive
tradeoff between spectral efficiency and receiver complexity.

In video forensics, the study of the prediction residue across successive frames is key to verify the integrity of digital videos. Focusing on an MPEG-2 double compression scheme, we analyze how the variance of the prediction residue evolves during the second compression depending on the type of frame (either I or P) employed in the first encoding and exploring different compression strengths and deadzone widths for quantization. This analysis reveals that the width of the quantizer deadzones actually affects the performance of existing methods based on the Variation of Prediction Footprint (VPF) for double compression detection and Group Of Pictures (GOP) size estimation. The predicted behavior from the theoretical characterization of the prediction residue is confirmed through experimental results with real video sequences.

Most wireless devices transmit and receive at different spectrum frequency bands. This
approach is no longer optimal due to increasing electromagnetic exhaustion. Besides, interference
among all present and future working services should be negligible. A full-duplex scheme using
the same band for simultaneous uplink and downlink is a huge step towards solving this issue.
However, sharing the same frequency band involves a large interference of transmitted signal over
received signal. To fix this problem, we propose the usage of a hybrid multistage cancellation system,
consisting of an analog cancellation setup at RF frequencies and a baseband digital cancellation stage.

This work addresses the uneven traffic demand scenario in multi-beam satellite systems, in which a hot-spot beam
is surrounded by cold beams. After partitioning the hotspot beam in different sectors, resource pulling from cold
neighbouring beams is allowed following an aggressive frequency-reuse scheme. As a consequence, the level of
the co-channel interference within the hot-spot beam increases. A scheme known as Non-Coherent Rate-Splitting (NCRS)
is employed to cope with this interference, based on the exclusive use of magnitude channel state information at the transmitter (CSIT).
The receiver complexity is increased with respect to full CSIT precoding schemes, which are considered for benchmarking purposes. Different NCRS strategies are analyzed and compared with several partial and full CSIT schemes. The proposed solution not only shows an improvement with respect to partial CSIT benchmarks, but also displays a competitive performance against full CSIT precoders.

Mutual Information is the metric that is used to perform link adaptation, which allows to achieve rates near capacity. The computation of adaptive transmission modes is achieved by employing the mapping between the Signal to Noise Ratio and the Mutual Information. Due to the high complexity of the computation of the Mutual Information, this process is performed off-line via Monte Carlo simulations, whose results are stored in look-up tables. However, in Index Modulations, such as Spatial Modulation or Polarized Modulation, this is not feasible since the constellation and the Mutual Information are channel dependent and it would require to compute this metric at each time instant if the channel is time varying. In this paper, we propose different approximations in order to obtain a simple closed-form expression that allows to compute the Mutual Information at each time instant and thus, making feasible the link adaptation.

The application of linear precoding at the gateway side enables broadband multibeam satellite systems to use more aggressive frequency reuse patterns increasing the overall capacity of future High Throughput Satellites (HTS). However, although some previous works about precoding consider imperfect CSIT (Chanel State Information at the Transmitter) adding some CSI estimation errors, that is not the main cause of CSI degradation. In practice, receivers can only detect and estimate a few coefficients of the CSI vector being the other nullified, replaced by zeros. This introduces errors in the SINR calculation by the gateway that lead to the assignment of Modulation and Coding Schemes (MCS) over the decoding possibilities of the users, increasing the rate of erroneous frames. In this work, the errors in the SINR calculation caused by the nullification of the CSI are analyzing statistically and geographically using a radiation diagram of 245 beams over Europe. Furthermore, a solution based on a link adaptation algorithm with a per user adaptive margin is proposed, helping to achieve the QEF (Quasi-error Free) target of DVB-S2X systems.

This work addresses the problem of determining whether two multivariate random time series have the same power spectral density

problem do not usually provide any kind of optimality. Thus, we study here the existence under the Gaussian assumption of optimal
invariant detectors for this problem, proving that the uniformly most powerful invariant test (UMPIT) does not exist. Thus, focusing on
close hypotheses, we show that the locally most powerful invariant test (LMPIT) only exists for univariate time series. In the multivariate
case, we prove that the LMPIT does not exist. However, this proof suggests two LMPIT-inspired detectors, one of which outperforms
previously proposed approaches, as computer simulations show.

López-Valcarce %A Alba Pagès-Zamora %K winter %K wsn %X

We address the problem of distributed estimation of a vector-valued parameter performed by a wireless sensor network in the presence of noisy observations which may be unreliable due to faulty transducers. The proposed distributed estimator is based on the Expectation-Maximization (EM) algorithm and combines consensus and diffusion techniques: a term for information diffusion is gradually turned off, while a term for updated information averaging is turned on so that all nodes in the network approach the same value of the estimate. The proposed method requires only local exchanges of information among network nodes and, in contrast with previous approaches, it does not assume knowledge of the a priori probability of transducer failures or the noise variance. A convergence analysis is provided, showing that the convergent points of the centralized EM iteration are locally asymptotically convergent points of the proposed distributed scheme. Numerical examples show that the distributed algorithm asymptotically attains the performance of the centralized EM method.

The first step in the definition of the specifications for the vibration tests of any automotive component
is the recording and evaluation of the properties of the input vibration during field measurements. In this
paper, we explore the properties of the vibration measured at the base of the driver seat when driving
through different surfaces, with the purpose of defining a model for non-Gaussian random vibration
testing. The recorded acceleration signals are first transformed to a 6 Degree of Freedom (DOF) space,
and then segmented into stationary sections that are later analyzed. The non-Gaussian nature of the
recorded vibration is demonstrated through different Gaussianity hypothesis tests, and the distribution of
the third and fourth order moments, as well as the crest factor, are computed and analyzed. The second-order 
spectral content reveals significant correlation at specific frequencies, while the significance of
third order polyspectra is checked through hypothesis testing. Based on our observations, a practical
definition of the random process is proposed based on second-order spectral content, univariate kurtosis
and crest factor levels.

We consider the forward link of a multibeam satellite system with high spectral reuse and the novel low-complexity transmission and detection strategies from ["“Exploratory analysis of superposition coding and rate splitting for multibeam satellite systems", ISWCS 2018]. More specifically, we study the impact of a time offset between the antenna beams that cooperate to simultaneously serve a given user. Assuming Gaussian signaling, we provide closed-form expressions for the achievable rate region. It is demonstrated that, in the absence of timing information at the gateway, this region is not affected by a time offset. Our numerical results further show that, in case timing is known at the gateway, an offset of half a symbol period at both user terminals is optimal in terms of spectral efficiency.

This paper presents an acoustic local positioning system (ALPS) suitable for indoor positioning
of portable devices such as smartphones or tablets, based on the transmission of high frequency

its capability to mitigate the effects of multipath propagation by performing an accurate estimation
of the Line-of-Sight Time-of-Flights (LOS-TOF) through the Matching Pursuit algorithm. Signal
detection, multipath cancellation and positioning estimation all take place within the portable device,
which provides a graphical representation of the updated position in less than a second. The
performance of the Matching Pursuit algorithm is analyzed in a real scenario and the results show
that the proposed method is capable to retrieve the multipath-free System Availability under strong

Our results reveal the performance-security tradeoff of these schemes and can be used to determine the number of trusted nodes required for a given performance target.

We consider the problem of estimating the frame error rate (FER) of a given memoryless binary symmetric channel by observing the success or failure of transmitted packets. Whereas FER estimation is relatively straightforward if all observations correspond to packets with equal length, the problem becomes considerably more complex when this is not the case. We develop FER estimators when
transmissions of different lengths are observed, together with the Cramer-Rao Lower Bound (CRLB). Although the main focus is on Maximum Likelihood (ML) estimation, we also obtain low complexity schemes performing close to optimal in some scenarios. In a second stage, we consider the case in which FER estimation is performed at a node different from the receiver, and incorporate the impairment of unreliable observations by considering noisy ACK/NAK feedback links. The impact of unreliable feedback is analyzed by means of the corresponding CRLB. In this setting, the ML estimator is obtained by applying the Expectation-Maximization algorithm to jointly estimate the error probabilities of the data and feedback links. Simulation results illustrate the benefits of the proposed estimators.

Using power measurements collected by a network of low-cost sensors, power spectral density (PSD) maps are con-
structed to capture the distribution of RF power across space and frequency. Linearly compressed and quantized power measure-
ments enable wideband sensing at affordable implementation complexity using a small number of bits. Strengths of data- and model-
driven approaches are combined to develop estimators capable of incorporating multiple forms of spectral and propagation prior
information while fitting the rapid variations of shadow fading across space. To this end, novel nonparametric and semiparametric
formulations are investigated. It is shown that the desired PSD maps can be obtained using support vector machine-type solvers.
In addition to batch approaches, an online algorithm attuned to real-time operation is developed. Numerical tests assess the performance of the novel algorithms.

The use of dual polarization in mobile satellite systems is
very promising as a means for increasing the transmission capacity. In this paper a system which uses simultaneously two orthogonal polarizations in order to communicate with the users is studied. The application of MIMO signal processing techniques along with Adaptive Coding and Modulation in the forward link can provide remarkable throughput gains up to 100 % when compared with the single polarization system. The gateway is allowed to vary the MIMO and Modulation  and Coding Schemes for each frame. The selection is done by means of a link adaptation algorithm which uses a tunable margin to achieve a predefined target Frame Error Rate.

By considering this model, we apply random matrix theory to analytically derive the asymptotic eigenvalue distribution of causal 2D-AR random fields that have undergone an upscaling operation with a particular interpolation kernel. This eigenvalue characterization is useful in developing new forensic techniques for image resampling detection since we can use theoretical bounds to drive the decision of detectors based on subspace decomposition. Moreover, experimental results with real images show that the obtained asymptotic limits turn out to be excellent approximations, even when working with images of small size.

Crowdsourcing approaches rely on the collection of multiple individuals to solve problems that require analysis of large data sets in a timely accurate manner. The inexperience of participants or annotators motivates well robust techniques. Focusing on clustering setups, the data provided by all annotators is suitably modeled here as a mixture of Gaussian components plus a uniformly distributed random variable to capture outliers. The proposed algorithm is based on the expectation-maximization algorithm and allows for soft assignments of data to clusters, to rate annotators according to their performance, and to estimate the number of Gaussian components in the non-Gaussian/Gaussian mixture model, in a jointly manner.

Heath Jr. %A Nuria González-Prelcic %K compass %K mmWave %K myrada %X

Millimeter wave (mm Wave) systems will likely employ large antennas at both the transmitter and receiver for directional beamforming. Hybrid analog/digital MIMO architectures have been proposed previously for leveraging both array gain and multiplexing gain, while reducing the power consumption in analog-to-digital converters. Channel knowledge is needed to design the hybrid precoders/combiners, which is difficult to obtain due to the large antenna arrays and the frequency selective nature of the channel. In this paper, we propose a sparse recovery based time-domain channel estimation technique for hybrid architecture based frequency selective mmWave systems. The proposed compressed sensing channel estimation algorithm is shown to provide good estimation error performance, while requiring small training overhead. The simulation results show that using multiple RF chains at the receiver and the transmitter further reduces the training overhead.

We develop adaptive self-interference cancellation algorithms for both filter-and-forward and decode-and-forward
multiple-input multiple-output relays. The algorithms are blind in the sense that they only exploit the spectral properties
of the transmitted signal to identify the self-interference channel, while dealing with frequency-selective channels and
arbitrary signal spectra. Our approach is non-intrusive in the sense that the algorithms can successfully identify, track,
and cancel the self-interference distortion while the relay is operating in its normal mode. We study the stationary
points of the algorithms and analyze under which conditions they achieve perfect cancellation of the self-interference.
Simulation results show that the algorithms provide residual self-interference levels below the noise floor by using
the time samples of only a few OFDM symbols.

Compressed sensing deals with the reconstruction of signals
from sub-Nyquist samples by exploiting the sparsity of their
projections onto known subspaces. In contrast, the present
article is concerned with the reconstruction of second-order
statistics, such as covariance and power spectrum, even in
the absence of sparsity priors. The framework described here
leverages the statistical structure of random processes to
enable signal compression and offers an alternative perspective
at sparsity-agnostic inference. Capitalizing on parsimonious
representations, we illustrate how compression and reconstruction
tasks can be addressed in popular applications such
as power spectrum estimation, incoherent imaging, direction
of arrival estimation, frequency estimation, and wideband
spectrum sensing.

Data-injection attacks on spatial field detection corrupt a subset of measurements to cause erroneous decisions. We consider a centralized decision scheme exploiting spatial field smoothness to overcome lack of knowledge on system parameters such as noise variance. We obtain closed-form expressions for system performance and investigate strategies for an intruder injecting false data in a fraction of the sensors in order to reduce the probability of detection. The problem of determining the most vulnerable subset of sensors is also analyzed.

This paper considers the design of hybrid precoders
and combiners for mmWave MIMO systems with per-antenna
power constraints and the additional limitations introduced by
the phase-shifting network in the analog processing stage. Previous
hybrid designs were obtained using a total power constraint,
but in practical implementations per-antenna constraints are
more realistic, specially at mmWave, given the large number of
power amplifiers used in the transmit array. Assuming perfect
channel knowledge, we obtain first an approximation to the alldigital
solution for the precoder and the combiner given the
per-antenna constraints. Then, we develop a new method for the
design of the hybrid precoder and combiner which attempts to
match such all-digital approximation. Simulation results show
the effectiveness of the proposed approach, which performs close
to the all-digital solution.

Heath Jr. %K compass %K mmWave %X

Millimeter communication systems use large antenna arrays to provide good average received power and to take advantage of multi-stream MIMO communication. Unfortunately, due to power consumption in the analog front-end, it is impractical to perform beamforming and fully digital precoding at baseband. Hybrid precoding/combining architectures have been proposed to overcome this limitation. The hybrid structure splits the MIMO processing between the digital and analog domains, while keeping the performance close to that of the fully digital solution. In this paper, we introduce and analyze several algorithms that efficiently design hybrid precoders and combiners starting from the known optimum digital precoder/combiner, which can be computed when perfect channel state information is available. We propose several low complexity solutions which provide different trade-offs between performance and complexity. We show that the proposed iterative solutions perform better in terms of spectral efficiency and/or are faster than previous methods in the literature. All of them provide designs which perform close to the known optimal digital solution. Finally, we study the effects of quantizing the analog component of the hybrid design and show that even with coarse quantization, the average rate performance is good.

López-Valcarce %A Saeid Sedighi %A Abbas Taherpour %K cognitive radio %K compass %X

We establish the generalized likelihood ratio (GLR) test for a Gaussian signal of known power spectral shape and unknown rank-one spatial signature in additive white Gaussian noise with an unknown diagonal spatial correlation matrix. This is motivated by spectrum sensing problems in dynamic spectrum access (DSA), in which the temporal correlation of the primary signal can be assumed known up to a scaling, and where the noise is due to an uncalibrated receive array. For spatially independent identically distributed (i.i.d.) noise, the corresponding GLR test reduces to a scalar optimization problem, whereas the GLR detector in the general non-i.i.d. case yields a more involved expression, which can be computed via alternating optimization methods. Low signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) approximations to the detectors are given, together with an asymptotic analysis showing the influence on detection performance of the signal power spectrum and SNR distribution across antennas. Under spatial rank-P conditions, we show that the rank-one GLR detectors are consistent with a statistical criterion that maximizes the output energy of a beamformer operating on filtered data. Simulation results support our theoretical findings in that exploiting prior knowledge on the signal power spectrum can result in significant performance improvement.

This paper focuses on the problem of the distributed estimation of a parameter vector based on noisy observations regularly acquired by the nodes of a wireless sensor network and assuming that some of the nodes have faulty sensors. We propose two online schemes, both centralized and distributed, based on the Expectation-Maximization (EM) algorithm. These algorithms are able to identify and disregard the faulty nodes, and provide a refined estimate of the parameters each time instant after a new set of observations is acquired. Simulation results demonstrate that the centralized versions of the proposed online algorithms attain the same estimation error as the centralized batch EM, whereas the distributed versions come very close to matching the batch EM.

Communication at millimeter wave (mmWave) frequencies is defining a new era of wireless communication. The mmWave band offers higher bandwidth communication channels versus those presently used in commercial wireless systems. The applications of mmWave are immense: wireless local and personal area networks in the unlicensed band, 5G cellular systems, not to mention vehicular area networks, ad hoc networks, and wearables. Signal processing is critical for enabling the next generation of mmWave communication. Due to the use of large antenna arrays at the transmitter and receiver, combined with radio frequency and mixed signal power constraints, new multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) communication signal processing techniques are needed. Because of the wide bandwidths, low complexity transceiver algorithms become important. There are opportunities to exploit techniques like compressed sensing for channel estimation and beamforming. This article provides an overview of signal processing challenges in mmWave wireless systems, with an emphasis on those faced by using MIMO communication at higher carrier frequencies.

Millimeter wave (mmWave) communication provides high data rates thanks to large arrays at the transmitter and receiver, coupled with large bandwidth channels. Exploiting the arrays is challenging due to the need to configure precoding at the transmitter based on the large frequency selective channel. In this paper, we exploit the power iteration principle and propose a robust analog precoding training algorithm that can be applied in both frequency division duplex transmission systems and time division duplex transmission systems with or without RF calibration. We further analyze the convergence of the proposed algorithm and show how it converges to the singular value decomposition optimality exponentially. We propose null space projection on top of the power iteration to form multiple orthogonal beams at the transmitter and receiver. Strongest tap selection with proper energy pruning is used to collect as much precoding gain as possible from a frequency selective fading channel. The exponential effective SINR mapping performance is evaluated and demonstrates that the overall approach works smoothly. Numerical simulation results demonstrate algorithm robustness and the algorithm works not only for the simplified mmWave directional channels, but also for more general rich scattering channels.

We consider a clustered scenario for data aggregation in which an attacker injects a disturbance in sensor readings.

The analysis under different attacks reveals that detectors based on similarity of means across
clusters are suboptimal, with Bartlett’s test for homoscedasticity constituting a good candidate when lacking a priori knowledge of the variance of the underlying distribution.

Heath Jr. %K adversarial signal processing %K compass %K mmWave %X

Antenna subset modulation (ASM) is a physical layer security technique that is well suited for millimeter wave communication systems. The key idea is to vary the radiation pattern at the symbol rate by selecting one from a subset of patterns with a similar main lobe and different side lobes. This paper shows that ASM is not robust to an eavesdropper that makes multiple simultaneous measurements at multiple angles. The measurements are combined and used to formulate an estimation problem to undo the effects of the side lobe randomization. Simulations show the performance of the estimation algorithms and how the eavesdropper can effectively recover the information if the signal-to-noise ratio exceeds a certain threshold. Using fewer active radio frequency chains makes it harder for the attacker to recover the transmit symbol, at the expense of more grating lobes.

High resolution direction-of-arrival (DOA) estimation is an important problem in many array signal processing applications. This paper proposes an augmented covariance estimator for DOA estimation. The new method exploits the periodicity of the covariance lags when the DOAs are assumed on a discrete grid with a certain resolution. Then, it achieves twice the resolution of typical methods such as the direct augmentable approach or forward backward spatial smoothing. When the sources are not on the discrete grid, an interpolated array manifold technique is proposed to mitigate the grid mismatch error.

López-Valcarce %A Geert Leus %K compass %K compressed sensing %X
The class of complex random vectors whose covariance
matrix is linearly parameterized by a basis of Hermitian
Toeplitz (HT) matrices is considered, and the maximum
compression ratios that preserve all second-order information
are derived — the statistics of the uncompressed vector must
be recoverable from a set of linearly compressed observations.
This kind of vectors arises naturally when sampling widesense
stationary random processes and features a number of
applications in signal and array processing.
Explicit guidelines to design optimal and nearly optimal
schemes operating both in a periodic and non-periodic fashion
are provided by considering two of the most common linear
compression schemes, which we classify as dense or sparse. It
is seen that the maximum compression ratios depend on the
structure of the HT subspace containing the covariance matrix of
the uncompressed observations. Compression patterns attaining
these maximum ratios are found for the case without structure as
well as for the cases with circulant or banded structure. Universal
samplers are also proposed to compress unknown HT subspaces.

Most Signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) estimators use the
receiver matched filter output sampled at the symbol rate, an
approach which does not preserve all information in the analog
waveform due to aliasing. Thus, it is relevant to ask whether
avoiding aliasing could improve SNR estimation. To this end, we
compute the corresponding data-aided (DA) and non-data-aided
(NDA) Cramér-Rao bounds (CRBs). We adopt a novel dual filter
framework, which is shown to be information-preserving under
suitable conditions and considerably simplifies the analysis. It is
shown that the CRB can be substantially reduced by exploiting
any available excess bandwidth, depending on the modulation
scheme, the SNR range, and the estimator (DA or NDA) type.

This paper focuses on the problem of positioning a source using angle-of-arrival measurements taken by a wireless sensor network in which some of the nodes experience non-line-of-sight (NLOS) propagation conditions. In order to mitigate the errors induced by the nodes in NLOS, we derive an algorithm that combines the expectation-maximization algorithm with a weighted least-squares estimation of the source position so that the nodes in NLOS are eventually identified and discarded. Moreover, a distributed version of this algorithm based on a diffusion strategy that iteratively refines the position estimate while driving the network to a consensus is presented.

This paper addresses the problem of distributed estimation of a parameter vector in the presence of noisy input and output data as well as data faults, performed by a wireless sensor network in which only local interactions among the nodes are allowed. In the presence of unreliable observations, standard estimators become biased and perform poorly in low signal-to-noise ratios. We propose two different distributed approaches based on the Expectation-Maximization algorithm: in the first one the regressors are estimated at each iteration,
whereas the second one does not require explicit regressor estimation. Numerical results show that the proposed methods approach the performance of a clairvoyant scheme with knowledge of the random data faults.

We present techniques to improve convergence speed of distributed average consensus algorithms in wireless sensor networks by means of topology design. A broadcast network is assumed, so that only the transmit power of each node can be independently controlled, rather than each individual link. Starting with a maximally connected configuration in which all nodes transmit at full power, the proposed methods successively reduce the transmit power of a chosen node in order to remove one and only one link; nodes are greedily selected either in order to yield fastest convergence at each step, or if they have the largest degree in the network. These greedy schemes provide a good complexity-performance tradeoff with respect to full-blown global search methods. As a side benefit, improving the convergence speed also results in savings in energy consumption with respect to the maximally connected setting.

Reliable wide-area monitoring with Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) remains a problem of
interest: simply deploying more nodes to cover wider areas is generally not a viable solution, due to
deployment and maintenance costs and the increase in radio interference. One possible solution
gaining popularity is based on the use of a reduced number of mobile nodes with controllable
trajectories in the monitored field. In this framework, we present a distributed technique for iteratively
computing the trajectories of the mobile nodes in a greedy fashion. The static sensor nodes actively
assist the mobile nodes in this task by means of a bidding protocol, thus participating towards the goal
of maximizing the area coverage of the monitored field. The performance of the proposed technique is
evaluated on various simulation scenarios with different number of mobile and static nodes in terms of
achieved coverage and mean time to achieve X% coverage. Comparison with previous state-of-the-art
techniques reveals the effectiveness and stability of the proposed method.

Alvarez %A R. López-Valcarce %K compass %K wsn %X

This work proposes a novel method to estimate the Line-of-Sight Time-of-Flights (LOS-TOFs) in a broadband acoustic local positioning system (ALPS) with strong multipath interference. The proposed method is based on the Matching Pursuit channel estimation algorithm that provides a low complexity approximation to the Maximum Likelihood solution for sparse channels. A multichannel version of this algorithm has been implemented to estimate a minimum of three coefficients in the channel responses of a particular ALPS, composed of four beacons that perform the simultaneous emission of BPSK modulated 255-bit Kasami codes. A statistical analysis of performance has been carried out by using a set of test signals synthetically generated to simulate different positions and reflection coefficients of the environment. The results of this analysis show the enhanced capability of the proposed method to estimate the LOS-TOFs under strong multipath interference, with respect to that of a classical system based on correlation + thresholding.

Motivated by low-complexity sensing hardware and stringent communication constraints, compressed and quantized measurements are considered.

The simulated tests verify that accurate spectrum maps can be constructed using a simple sensing architecture with significant savings in the feedback.

We propose a method for maximizing the signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio (SINR) in a wideband full-duplex MIMO regenerative relay that accounts limited dynamic range of the receiver and transmitter impairments. Transmit and receive filters are designed at the relay, by means of an alternating minimization algorithm, to minimize the interference at the decoder input in the destination node. We impose channel shortening and subspace constraints to ensure that the received signal at the destination is not compromised. Simulation results show that the presented method significantly outperforms other constrained approaches.

This paper describes a new strategy for image resampling detection whenever the applied resampling factor is larger than one. Delving into the linear dependencies induced in an image after the application of an upsampling operation, we show that interpolated images belong to a subspace defined by the interpolation kernel. Within this framework, by computing the SVD of a given image block and a measure of its degree of saturated pixels per row/column, we derive a simple detector capable of discriminating between upsampled images and genuine images. Furthermore, the proposed detector shows remarkable results with blocks of small size and outperforms state-of-the-art methods.

López-Valcarce %K cognitive radio %K compass %K dynacs %K spectrum shaping %X

Active interference cancellation (AIC) is a multicarrier spectrum sculpting technique which reduces the power of undesired out-of-band emissions by adequately modulating a subset of reserved cancellation subcarriers. In most schemes online complexity is a concern, and thus cancellation subcarriers have traditionally been constrained to linear combinations of the data subcarriers. Recent AIC designs truly minimizing out-of-band emission shift complexity to the offline design stage, motivating the consideration of more general mappings to improve performance. We show that there is no loss in optimality incurred by constraining these mappings to the set of linear functions.

López-Valcarce %K cognitive radio %K dynacs %K spectrum shaping %X Active Interference Cancellation (AIC) techniques for OFDM spectrum sculpting have gained interest over the last years, and several extensions to the MIMO case have been recently proposed. However, these designs do not fully exploit the spatial diversity provided by the multiple transmit antennas, as canceler allocation is fixed. This paper proposes a more general mechanism for the allocation of the cancellation subcarriers across antennas in order to better exploit spatial diversity. In particular, we present a novel AIC design for cognitive MIMOOFDM systems, in which transmit antennas compete against each other for a fixed number of cancellation subcarriers. We show that this more general allocation approach results in significant performance improvements with respect to previous designs. %B IEEE Sensor Array and Multichannel Signal Processing Workshop (SAM) %C A Coruña, Spain %G eng %R 10.1109/SAM.2014.6882392 %0 Conference Paper %B Media Watermarking, Security, and Forensics %D 2014 %T Are you threatening me?

López-Valcarce %K adversarial signal processing %K compass %X
The Proportional Fair Scheduler (PFS) has become
a popular channel-aware resource allocation method in wireless
networks, as it effectively exploits multiuser diversity while
providing fairness to users. PFS decisions on which mobile station
(MS) to schedule next are based on Channel Quality Indicator
(CQI) values. Since CQI values are reported by the MSs to the
scheduler, network performance can be severely degraded if some
malicious MSs report forged information. Previous approaches to
this security issue are based either on modifying PFS, which may
be undesirable in some contexts, or authenticating CQI reports
by periodic transmission of challenges, which increases overhead.
Instead, we propose to detect misreporting attackers, based on the
time correlation features of the wireless channel. Our approach
does not require scheduler modification, and it does not increase
overhead. Simulation results under realistic settings are provided
to show the effectiveness of the proposed test.

López-Valcarce %A Silvana Silva Pereira %A Alba Pagès-Zamora %K dynacs %K wsn %X

We consider Total Least Squares (TLS) estimation in a network in which each node has access to a subset of equations of an overdetermined linear system. Previous distributed approaches require that the number of equations at each node be larger than the dimension L of the unknown parameter. We present novel distributed TLS estimators which can handle as few as a single equation per node. In the first scheme, the network computes an extended correlation matrix via standard iterative average consensus techniques, and the TLS estimate is extracted afterwards by means of an eigenvalue decomposition (EVD). The second scheme is EVD-free, but requires that a linear system of size L be solved at each iteration by each node. Replacing this step by a single Gauss-Seidel subiteration is shown to be an effective means to reduce computational cost without sacrificing performance.

Frame error rate (FER) prediction in wireless communication systems is an important tool with applications to system level simulations and link adaptation, among others. Although in realistic communication scenarios it is expected to have codewords of different lengths, previous work on FER prediction marginally treated the dependency of the FER on the codeword length. In this paper, we present a method to estimate the FER using codewords of different length. We derive a low complexity FER estimator for frames of different length transmitted over a binary symmetric channel of unknown error probability. We extend this technique to coded systems by the use of effective SNR FER predictors. The proposed estimation scheme is shown to outperform other simpler estimation methods.

We present a low-power design for Active Interference
Cancellation (AIC) sculpting of the OFDM spectrum, based
on sparse design concepts. Optimal AIC designs compute
cancellation weights based on contributions from all data subcarriers.
Thus, as the number of subcarriers grows, power
consumption becomes a concern, and suboptimal solutions
that avoid involving all subcarriers are of interest. In this context,
we present novel sparse AIC designs based on a zeronorm
minimization of the matrix defining the cancellation
weights. These designs drastically reduce the number of operations
per symbol, and thus the power consumption, while allowing
to tune the loss with respect the optimal design. They
can be efficiently obtained and significantly outperform usual
thresholding or sparsity-inducing l_1-norm minimization approaches.

Millimeter-wave communication is one way to alleviate the spectrum gridlock at lower frequencies while simultaneously providing high-bandwidth communication channels. MmWave makes use of MIMO through large antenna arrays at both the base station and the mobile station to provide sufficient received signal power. This article explains how beamforming and precoding are different in MIMO mmWave systems than in their lower-frequency counterparts, due to different hardware constraints and channel characteristics. Two potential architectures are reviewed: hybrid analog/digital precoding/combining and combining with low-resolution analog- to-digital converters. The potential gains and design challenges for these strategies are discussed, and future research directions are highlighted.

The eternal demand of improved spectrum exploitation for next generation satellite communications requires the study of techniques that are potentially able of a breakthrough. In this thesis we focus on two of the main issues hindering the performance of satellite communications.
 
In the first part of the thesis, we study the use of multi-user detection techniques in the return link of multibeam satellite systems operated with an aggressive frequency reuse strategy. We start by comparing their performance with respect to a traditional scenario, and study the possibility of splitting the processing between the gateway and the satellite to cope with practical constraints. We then study the fundamental performance limits of such a system when spatially correlated rain attenuation affects the users; analytical expressions are obtained for the high and low SNR regimes. Finally, we consider non perfect channel state information and obtain, through random matrix theory, an approximation of the residual error as a function of the system's parameters.
 
In the second part, we focus on link adaptation for mobile satellite communications. For the return link, we investigate the potential of open-loop channel state information, which is timely but scarcely accurate; the finding that this information is better than the traditional closed-loop one depending on the channel conditions motivated the study of an adaptive algorithm to dynamically balance both. Finally, in the forward link we considered the case where retransmissions are available, and designed the optimum modulation and coding scheme sequence for the different retransmissions of a packet in terms of throughput.

Rain attenuation is among the major impairments for satellite systems operating in the K band and above. In this paper, we investigate the impact of spatially correlated rain attenuation on the performance of a multibeam satellite return link. For a comprehensive assessment, an analytical model for the antenna pattern that generates the beams is also proposed. We focus on the outage capacity of the link, and obtain analytical approximations at high and low SNR. The derived approximations provide insights on the effect of key system parameters – like the inter-user distance, the satellite beam radius, or the rain intensity– and simulation results show that it fits tightly to the Monte Carlo results. Additionally, the derived expressions can be easily particularized for the single-user case, providing some novel insights.

We demonstrate the practical implementation of a schema for Smart Grid Last Mile (SGLM) traffic management in leased Internet access networks, based on well-known queue management and traffic marking algorithms such as Random Early Drop and Token Bucket. Internet access links are often over-provisioned, with much higher installed capacity than user needs, so domestic applications do not compete for bandwidth. In this scenario the additional load posed by SGLM traffic is negligible. On some occasions, however, Internet access links are moder- ately stressed and traffic management techniques are required for SGLM traffic to coexist seamlessly with user traffic. In a previous paper, we formulated a theoretical model for SGLM traffic in general networks, and a management solution for its coexistence with user traffic in the particular case of leased Internet access networks. In the present paper, we demonstrate the feasibility of that solution in a practical scenario. We have implemented the traffic management policies on real hardware and employed SGLM traffic generators to evaluate our schema in a real network. The results indicate that our proposal achieves low- latency SGLM communications in a scenario with high domestic user traffic

With millimeter wave bands emerging as a strong candidate for 5G cellular networks, next-generation systems may be in a unique position where spectrum is plentiful. To assess the potential value of this spectrum, this paper derives scaling laws on the per mobile downlink feasible rate with large bandwidth and number of nodes, for both Infrastructure Single Hop (ISH) and Infrastructure Multi-Hop (IMH) architectures. It is shown that, for both cases, there exist \emph{critical bandwidth scalings} above which increasing the bandwidth no longer increases the feasible rate per node. These critical thresholds coincide exactly with the bandwidths where, for each architecture, the network transitions from being degrees-of-freedom-limited to power-limited. For ISH, this critical bandwidth threshold is lower than IMH when the number of users per base station grows with network size. This result suggests that multi-hop transmissions may be necessary to fully exploit large bandwidth degrees of freedom in deployments with growing number of users per cell.

López-Valcarce %K cognitive radio %K dynacs %X Spectrum sensors for cognitive radio are expected to deploy multiple antennas in order to overcome the noise uncertainty problem and minimize the effects of small-scale fading. Despite the requirement that these sensors must detect wireless microphone (WM) signals, works in the literature have focused either on general purpose multiantenna detectors, or single antenna WM detectors. We exploit the spatial structure and particular properties of WM waveforms to derive four multiantenna detectors for WM signals with different performance/ complexity tradeoffs. These detectors are based on the generalized likelihood ratio test, which is derived under several signal models exploiting either the fact that the bandwidth of a WM signal never exceeds 200 kHz, the property that these signals have a constant magnitude, or both. The proposed detectors do not require synchronization with the WM signal and are robust to the noise uncertainty problem as well as to small-scale fading. Using the simulation guidelines from the IEEE 802.22 standard, the novel multiantenna WM detectors are shown to outperform previous schemes, thus demonstrating the advantages of exploiting spatial correlation along with WM signal structure. %B IEEE Trans. on Vehicular Technology %V 63 %P 4395-4407 %8 11/2014 %G eng %N 9 %& 4395 %R 10.1109/TVT.2014.2316513 %0 Report %D 2014 %T Technical Report TSC/FPG/20032014: Performance Analysis of the Least Squares Disclosure Attack with Time-Varying User Behavior %A Fernando Pérez-González %A Carmela Troncoso %A Simon Oya %G eng %0 Report %D 2014 %T Technical Report TSC/SO/02052014: Derivation of the Mean Squared Error of the Least Squares Estimator in a Timed Pool Mix with Dummy Traffic %A Simon Oya %A Carmela Troncoso %A Fernando Pérez-González %G eng %0 Report %D 2014 %T Technical Report UV/TSC/APU/02102014: Multivariate Ring Learning with Errors %A Alberto Pedrouzo-Ulloa %A Juan Ramón Troncoso-Pastoriza %A Fernando Pérez-González %I University of Vigo %G eng %0 Conference Paper %B IEEE International Conference on Audio, Speech, and Signal Processing (ICASSP) %D 2014 %T Transportation-theoretic image counterforensics to first significant digit histogram forensics %A Cecilia Pasquini %A Pedro Comesaña %A Fernando Pérez-González %B IEEE International Conference on Audio, Speech, and Signal Processing (ICASSP) %I IEEE %C Florence, Italy %8 05/2014 %G eng %0 Conference Paper %B IEEE Workshop on Information Forensics and Security %D 2014 %T Understanding the Effects of Real-World Behavior in Statistical Disclosure Attacks %A Simon Oya %A Carmela Troncoso %A Fernando Pérez-González %B IEEE Workshop on Information Forensics and Security %G eng %0 Conference Paper %B IEEE 14th Int.

The design of broadcasting networks operating in a single frequency way is challenging due to the difficulty of predicting the performance in a frequency selective channel, caused by natural multipath and echoes coming from different transmitters. In this paper we resort to the use of frame error rate prediction metrics (also known as effective SNR metrics) to characterize the performance gain (or loss) under different multipath and SNR regimes in a simplified scenario with two transmitters. The analysis shows clearly that receivers with a dominant line of sight reception and high SNR are more sensitive to the presence of echoes, while those users in low SNR or strong multipath conditions are easily enforced by the insertion of a second transmitter.

Simultaneous reception and transmission in the same frequency, so-called full-duplex operation, causes an infinite feedback loop in an amplify-and-forward relay. The unwanted echoes may result in oscillation at the relay, making it unstable, and distorting the spectrum. This paper presents an adaptive MIMO filtering method for full-duplex amplify-and-forward relays that aims at solving the joint problem of self-interference mitigation and equalization of the source-relay channel. The scheme exploits knowledge of the autocorrelation of the transmitted signal as the only side information while allowing the relay, in the best case, to implement precoding as if there was not any self-interference or frequency selectivity in the source-relay channel. Finally, the proposed adaptation algorithm is investigated by determining its stationary points and by performing simulations in a MIMO-OFDM framework.

without such knowledge. The temporal filter is updated
under the property restoral paradigm in order to match the power
spectrum of the retransmitted signal to that of the source signal.

 Private communications inside large vehicles such as ships may be effectively provided using standard cellular systems. In this paper we propose a new solution based on software-defined radio with electromagnetic sensing support. Software-defined radio allows low-cost developments and, potentially, added-value services not available in commercial cellular networks. The platform of reference, OpenBTS, only supports single-channel cells. Our proposal, however, has the ability of changing BTS channel frequency without disrupting ongoing communications. This ability should be mandatory in vehicular environments, where neighbouring cell configurations may change rapidly, so a moving cell must be reconfigured in real-time to avoid interferences. Full details about frequency occupancy sensing and the channel reselection procedure are provided in this paper. Moreover, a procedure for fast terminal detection is proposed. This may be decisive in emergency situations, e.g., if someone falls overboard. Different tests confirm the feasibility of our proposal and its compatibility with commercial GSM terminals.

Wideband spectrum sensing provides a means to determine
the occupancy of channels spanning a broad range of frequencies.
Practical limitations impose that the acquisition should
be accomplished at a low rate, much below the Nyquist lower
bound. Dramatic rate reductions can be obtained by the observation
that only a few parameters need to be estimated in
typical spectrum sensing applications. This paper discusses
the joint estimation of the power of a number of channels,
whose power spectral density (PSD) is known up to a scale
factor, using compressive measurements. First, relying on
a Gaussian assumption, an efficient approximate maximum
likelihood (ML) technique is presented. Next, a least-squares
estimator is applied for the general non-Gaussian case.

Distributed implementations of the Expectation-Maximization
(EM) algorithm reported in the literature have been proposed for
applications to solve specific problems. In general, a primary
requirement to derive a distributed solution is that the
structure of the centralized version enables the computation
involving global information in a distributed fashion. This
paper treats the problem of distributed estimation of Gaussian
densities by means of the EM algorithm in wireless sensor
networks using diffusion strategies, where the information
is gradually diffused across the network for the computation
of the global functions. The low-complexity implementation
presented here is based on a two time scale operation
for information averaging and diffusion. The convergence to
a fixed point of the centralized solution has been studied and
the appealing results motivates our choice for this model. Numerical
examples provided show that the performance of the
distributed EM is, in practice, equal to that of the centralized
scheme.

We address the problem of distributed estimation of a parameter from a set of noisy observations collected by a sensor network, assuming that some sensors may be subject to data failures and report only noise. In such scenario, simple schemes such as the Best Linear Unbiased Estimator result in an error floor in moderate and high signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), whereas previously proposed methods based on hard decisions on data failure events degrade as the SNR decreases. Aiming at optimal performance within the whole range of SNRs, we adopt a Maximum Likelihood framework based on the Expectation-Maximization (EM) algorithm. The statistical model and the iterative nature of the EM method allow for a diffusion-based distributed implementation, whereby the information propagation is embedded in the iterative update of the parameters. Numerical examples show that the proposed algorithm practically attains the Cramer–Rao Lower Bound at all SNR values and compares favorably with other approaches.

Link adaptation in multiple user multiple-input multiple-output orthogonal frequency division multiplexing communication systems is challenging because of the coupling between user selection, mode selection, precoding, and equalization. In this paper, we present a methodology to perform link adaptation under this multiuser setting, focusing on the capabilities of IEEE 802.11ac. We propose to use a machine learning classifier to solve the problem of selecting a proper modulation and coding scheme, combined with a greedy algorithm that performs user and spatial mode selection. We observe that our solution offers good performance in the case of perfect channel state information or high feedback rate, while those scenarios with less feedback suffer some degradation due to inter-user interference.

This work addresses forgery localization in MPEG-2 compressed videos. The proposed method is based on the analysis of Double Quantization (DQ) traces in frames that were encoded twice as intra (i.e., I-frames).  Employing a state-of-the-art method, such frames are located in the video under analysis by estimating the size of the Group Of Pictures (GOP) that was used in the first compression; then, the DQ analysis is devised for the MPEG-2 encoding scheme and applied to frames that were intra-coded in both the first and second compression. In such a way, regions that were manipulated between the two encodings are detected. Compared to existing methods based on double quantization analysis, the proposed scheme makes forgery localization possible on a wider range of settings.

The problem of resampling factor estimation as a means for tampering detection has been largely investigated. Most of the existing techniques rely on the analysis of cyclic correlations induced in the resampled signal. However, in this paper, a new direction is explored by addressing the same problem in terms of the set-membership estimation theory. The proposed technique constructs a model of the problem using available a priori knowledge and in consonance with a finite number of observations that comes from the resampled signal under study. With this information, the proposed technique is able to provide an estimate of the resampling factor applied to the original signal and, if required, an estimate of such signal and an estimate of the interpolation filter. The performance in terms of accuracy and MSE of the proposed approach is evaluated and comparative results with state-of-the-art methods are reported.

This paper addresses the modeling of specific Smart Grid (SG) communication requirements from a data networking research perspective, as a general approach to the study of different access technologies suitable for the last mile (LM). SGLM networks serve customers' Energy Services Interfaces. From functional descriptions of SG, a traffic model is developed. It is then applied to the study of an access architecture based on leased lines from local broadband access providers. This permits consideration of the potential starvation of domestic traffic, which is avoided by applying well-known traffic management techniques. From previous results obtained for a purpose-built WiMAX SGLM network, the intuition that a leased broadband access yields lower latencies is verified. In general, the proposed traffic model simplifies the design of benchmarks for the comparison of candidate access technologies.

Link adaptation in mobile satellite channels is difficult because of the large propagation delays, the frequent signal blockage and the variation of the channel statistics. In this paper, we propose a cross-layer link adaptation strategy that exploits statistical, long-term CSI to increase the throughput when some retransmissions are available; this increase is obtained while meeting a target outage probability constraint. Our strategy takes as inputs the estimated packet error rates of the available modulation and coding schemes (MCS) and their rates; as an output, it returns the optimum sequence of MCS to be used. Results will also show that simple information acquisition strategies can still provide very good results.

Although full-duplex relaying schemes are appealing in order to improve spectral efficiency, simultaneous reception and transmission in the same frequency results in selfinterference,
distorting the retransmitted signal and making the relay prone to oscillation. Current feedback cancellation techniques by means of adaptive filters are hampered by the fact that the useful and interference signals are highly correlated. We present a new adaptive algorithm which effectively and blindly
restores the spectral shape of the desired signal. In contrast
with previous schemes, the novel adaptive feedback canceller has low complexity, does not introduce additional delay in the relay station, and partly compensates for multipath propagation.

We consider the problem of developing efficient sampling
schemes for multiband sparse signals. Previous results on
multicoset sampling implementations that lead to universal
sampling patterns (which guarantee perfect reconstruction),
are based on a set of appropriate interleaved analog to digital converters, all of them operating at the same sampling
frequency. In this paper we propose an alternative multirate
synchronous implementation of multicoset codes, that is, all
the analog to digital converters in the sampling scheme operate at different sampling frequencies, without need of introducing any delay. The interleaving is achieved through the
usage of different rates, whose sum is significantly lower than
the Nyquist rate of the multiband signal. To obtain universal
patterns the sampling matrix is formulated and analyzed. Appropriate choices of the parameters, that is the block length
and the sampling rates, are also proposed

Many problems in digital communications involve wideband radio signals. As the most recent example, the impressive advances in Cognitive Radio systems make even more necessary the development of sampling schemes for wideband radio signals with spectral holes. This is equivalent to considering a sparse multiband signal in the framework of Compressive Sampling theory. Starting from previous results on multicoset sampling and recent advances in compressive sampling, we analyze the matrix involved in the corresponding reconstruction equation and define a new method for the design of universal multicoset codes, that is, codes guaranteeing perfect reconstruction of the sparse multiband signal.

López-Valcarce %A Ignacio Santamaría %K cognitive radio %K dynacs %K spectrum sensing %X
Detecting the presence of a white Gaussian signal distorted by a noisy time-varying channel is addressed by means of three different detectors. First, the generalized likelihood ratio test (GLRT) is found for the case where the channel has no temporal structure, resulting in the well-known Bartlett’s test. Then it is shown that, under the transformation group given by scaling factors, a locally most powerful invariant test (LMPIT) does not exist. Two alternative approaches are explored in the low signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) regime: the first assigns a prior probability density function (pdf) to the channel (hence modeled as random), whereas the second assumes an underlying basis expansion model (BEM) for the (now deterministic) channel and obtains the maximum likelihood (ML) estimates of the parameters relevant for the detection problem. The performance of these detectors is evaluated via Monte Carlo simulation.

López-Valcarce %K cognitive radio %K dynacs %K spectrum sensing %X

Spectrum sensing constitutes a key ingredient in many cognitive radio paradigms in order to detect and protect primary transmissions. Most sensing schemes in the literature assume a time-invariant channel. However, when operating in low Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR) conditions, observation times are necessarily long and may become larger than the coherence time of the channel. In this paper the problem of detecting an unknown constant-magnitude waveform in frequency-flat time-varying channels with noise background of unknown variance is considered. The channel is modeled using a basis expansion model (BEM) with random coefficients. Adopting a generalized likelihood ratio (GLR) approach in order to deal with nuisance parameters, a non-convex optimization problem results. We discuss different possibilities to circumvent this problem, including several low complexity approximations to the GLR test as well as an efficient fixed-point iterative method to obtain the true GLR statistic. The approximations exhibit a performance ceiling in terms of probability of detection as the SNR increases, whereas the true GLR test does not. Thus, the proposed fixed-point iteration constitutes the preferred choice in applications requiring a high probability of detection.

Video forensics is an emerging discipline, that aims at inferring information about the processing history undergone by a digital video in a blind fashion. In this work we introduce a new forensic footprint and, based on it, propose a method for detecting whether a video has been encoded twice; if this is the case, we also estimate the size of the Group Of Pictures (GOP) employed during the first encoding. As shown in the experiments, the footprint proves to be very robust even in realistic settings (i.e., when encoding is carried out using typical compression rates), that are rarely addressed by existing techniques.

Hybrid Terrestrial Satellite Single Frequency Networks achieve large spectral efficiencies due to a higher frequency reuse, which is attained by transmitting the same waveform in the same frequency band from satellite and terrestrial transmitters. However, the presence of multiple transmitters propitiates the existence of the so-called SFN echoes, which can degrade the system performance even if they arrive within the OFDM guard interval. In this paper we characterize this effect by resorting to PER prediction metrics (or effective SNR metrics), and analyze two simple preprocessing schemes that mitigate this degradation: the use of Alamouti space-time codes, and a convenient prefiltering at the terrestrial transmitter.

We consider the problem of detecting a known signal with constant magnitude immersed in noise of unknown variance,
when the propagation channel is frequency-flat and randomly
time-varying within the observation window. A Basis Expansion
Model with random coefficients is used for the channel, and a Generalized Likelihood Ratio approach is adopted in order to cope with deterministic nuisance parameters. The resulting scheme can be seen as a generalization of the well-known
Matched Filter detector, to which it reduces for timeinvariant
channels. Closed-form analytical expressions are provided for the distribution of the test statistic under both hypotheses, which allow to assess the detection performance.

In this work, the problem of resampling factor estimation for tampering detection is addressed following the maximum likelihood criterion. By relying on the rounding operation applied after resampling, an approximation of the likelihood function of the quantized resampled signal is obtained. From the underlying statistical model, the maximum likelihood estimate is derived for one-dimensional signals and a piecewise linear interpolation. The performance of the obtained estimator is evaluated, showing that it outperforms state-of-the-art methods.

López-Valcarce %K cognitive radio %K dynacs %X
Multiple-antenna detection of a Gaussian signal with spatial rank one in temporally white Gaussian noise with arbitrary and  unknown spatial covariance is considered. This is motivated by spectrum sensing problems in the context of Dynamic Spectrum Access in which several secondary networks coexist but do not cooperate, creating a background of spatially correlated broadband interference. When the temporal correlation of the signal of interest is assumed known up to a scale factor, the corresponding Generalized Likelihood Ratio Test is shown to yield a scalar optimization problem. Closed-form expressions of the test are obtained for the general signal spectrum case in the low signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) regime, as well as for signals with binary-valued power spectrum in arbitrary SNR. The two resulting detectors turn out to be equivalent. An asymptotic approximation to the test distribution for the low-SNR regime is derived, closely matching empirical results from spectrum sensing simulation experiments.

A secondary user that tries to reuse the spectrum allocated to a primary user can exploit the knowledge of the primary message to perform this task. In particular, the overlay  cognitive radio paradigm postulates the use of a fraction of the available power at the secondary transmitter to convey the primary message, so the spectral efficiency of the primary  system is increased, and, therefore, some transmission resources (time slots or frequency bands) can be released to the secondary transmission while the primary user rate is kept constant. The fraction of released resources can be incremented if some channel state information is available at the secondary transmitter. In this paper, we present a scenario where the secondary transmitter maximizes the primary link quality (measured in terms of Effective SNR), and obtains its channel state information by exploiting the primary user SNR-based feedback.

A secondary cognitive user overlaying its message in a broadcast multicarrier network is studied. The secondary user exploits the primary message knowledge to convey its own information while preserving the primary user coverage area, determined by a bound on the BER, and taking into account the degradation due to the insertion of an echo in a dominant line of sight environment. The results are compared with those obtained when the coverage area is defined in capacity terms, and regardless of the degradation caused by the secondary replica of the primary message.

The overlay cognitive radio paradigm presents a framework where a secondary user exploits the knowledge of the primary user's message to improve spectrum utilization. A multicarrier broadcast network is one of the scenarios where this knowledge is possible: the secondary user could join a single frequency network and, therefore, gain access to the primary message. However, if the primary signal is received with a strong line of sight component, its relaying from the secondary transmitter does not suffice to ensure the primary user quality of service. In this paper we study the scenario where a secondary transmitter maximizes its own transmission rate, keeping the quality of a primary receiver over a given threshold. The analytical results, based on bit error rate bounds, are verified by means of software simulations and hardware tests.

Multibeam satellite systems are nowadays widely employed, and their use is expected to grow in the next decades. This has raised the interest for signal processing techniques able to mitigate the interference among beams, since they could enable a much more aggressive spectrum reuse. From an engineering point of view, the design of the system must be no longer based on the capabilities provided by the usual physical layer; it should take into account the presence of these interference canceling techniques, predict their performance as accurately as possible -even under a number of impairments and non-idealities- and design accordingly in order to fully exploit them. In this paper, we investigate the effect of a practical impairment of great importance, namely, the attenuation due to the rain, on the performance of a return link which performs MMSE interference canceling. Analytical expressions are derived for a number of performance measures based on the statistical characterization of the rain attenuation.

In the context of spectrum sensing, we investigate the performance of detectors equipped with M antennas (co-located or distributed) under Rayleigh fading, in terms of detection diversity. Rather than the high-SNR concept of diversity order common in the communications literature, we adopt the notion recently advocated by Daher and Adve in the radar community: the slope of the average probability of detection (\bar{P}_D) vs. SNR curve at \bar{P}_D = 0.5. This definition is well suited to spectrum sensing, which invariably deals with low SNR levels. It is shown that the diversity order grows as M for an optimal centralized detector having access to all observations, whereas for the two distributed schemes considered (the multiantenna energy detector and the OR detector) it grows no faster than √M.

López-Valcarce %A Javier Vía %A Ignacio Santamaría %K cognitive radio %K dynacs %K spectrum sensing %X
Spectrum sensing is a key component of the Cognitive Radio paradigm. Typically, primary signals have to be detected with uncalibrated receivers at signal-to-noise ratios (SNRs) well below decodability levels. Multiantenna detectors exploit spatial independence of receiver thermal noise to boost detection performance and robustness. We study the problem
of detecting a Gaussian signal with rank-P unknown spatial
covariance matrix in spatially uncorrelated Gaussian noise with
unknown covariance using multiple antennas. The generalized
likelihood ratio test (GLRT) is derived for two scenarios. In the
first one, the noises at all antennas are assumed to have the same (unknown) variance, whereas in the second, a generic diagonal noise covariance matrix is allowed in order to accommodate calibration uncertainties in the different antenna frontends. In the latter case, the GLRT statistic must be obtained numerically, for which an efficient method is presented. Furthermore, for asymptotically low SNR, it is shown that the GLRT does admit a closed form, and the resulting detector performs well in practice. Extensions are presented in order to account for unknown temporal correlation in both signal and noise, as well as frequency-selective channels.

Spectrum sensing design for Cognitive Radio systems is challenged by the nature of the wireless medium, which makes the detection requirements difficult to achieve by standalone sensors. To combat shadowing and fading, distributed strategies are usually proposed. However, most distributed approaches are based on the energy detector, which is not robust to noise uncertainty. This phenomenon can be overcome by multi-antenna sensors exploiting spatial independence of the noise process. We combine both ideas to develop distributed detectors for multiantenna sensors. Fusion rules are provided for sensors based on the Generalized Likelihood Ratio as well as for ad hoc detectors derived from geometric considerations. Simulation results are provided comparing the performance of the different strategies under lognormal shadowing and Ricean fading.

A common type of digital image forgery is the duplication of a region in the same image to conceal something in a captured scene. The detection of region duplication forgeries has been recently addressed using methods based on SIFT features that provide points of the regions involved in the tampering and also the parameters of the geometric transformation between both regions. However, considering this output, there is not yet any information about which of the regions are originals and which are the duplicated ones. A reliable image forensic analysis must provide this information. In this paper, we propose to use a resampling-based method to provide an accurate way to distinguish the original and the tampered regions by analizing the resampling factor of each area. Comparative results are presented to evaluate the performance of the combination of both methods.

A novel approach is here presented to superimpose a low-priority data stream on a high-priority data stream for OFDM systems. The main improvement with respect to conventional hierarchical modulation, which is included with the same purpose in various wireless technologies, is that the low-priority data stream can be decoded from the received subcarrier symbols without any previous equalization for multipath fading channels. As a consequence, the expected performance is nearly invariant of the channel estimation method used to equalize the channel. The low-priority stream is inserted adopting a gain-invariant dirty paper coding based on Rational Dither Modulation, which was proposed for data hiding applications. In this paper an analysis of the developed system is presented and several simulations have been carried out using DVB-T system parameters to verify the validity of the proposed approach. The experimental results show the better performance of the proposed method with respect to that of a conventional hierarchical modulation, particularly when the accuracy of the estimated channel response decreases.

Detection of unknown signals with constant modulus (CM) using multiple antennas in additive white Gaussian noise of unknown variance is considered. The channels from the source to each antenna are assumed frequency-flat and unknown. This problem is of interest for spectrum sensing in cognitive radio systems in which primary signals are known to have the CM property. Examples include analog frequency modulated signals such as those transmitted by wireless microphones in the TV bands and Gaussian Minimum Shift Keying modulated signals as in the GSM cellular standard. The proposed detector, derived from a Generalized Likelihood Ratio (GLR) approach, exploits both the CM property and the spatial independence of noise, outperforming the GLR test for Gaussian signals as shown by simulation.

Starting from a theoretical analysis of the resampling estimation problem for image tampering detection, this work presents a study, based on cyclostationarity theory, about the use of prefilters to improve the estimation accuracy of the resampling factor. Considering the methods that perform the estimation by analyzing the spectrum of the covariance of a resampled region, we propose an analytical framework that allows the definition of a cost function that measures the degree of detectability of the spectral peaks. Based on this measure, the design of the optimum prefilters for a particular resampling factor can be solved numerically. Experimental results validate the developed analysis and illustrate the enhancement of the performance in a real scenario.

We address the problem of primary user detection in Cognitive Radio from a wideband signal comprising multiple primary channels, exploiting a priori knowledge about the primary network: channelization and spectral shape of primary transmissions. Using this second-order statistical information, a multichannel Gaussian model is formulated. In order to obtain a Generalized Likelihood Ratio Test, we first address Maximum Likelihood (ML) estimation of the power levels at the different channels, as well as of the noise variance. The ML conditions suggest a suboptimal closed-form estimate, which takes the form of a constrained Least Squares estimator whose asymptotic efficiency is shown for flat bandpass spectra in white noise, a case of practical importance. The resulting detectors exploit those frequency bins corresponding to guard bands and to primary channels perceived as weak to improve noise variance estimation. Analytical expressions for the probabilities of detection and false alarm are presented. Performance is evaluated via simulations in the setting of a terrestrial TV primary network with realistic channelization parameters.

To know the location of nodes plays an important role in many current and envisioned wireless sensor network applications. In this framework, we consider the problem of estimating the locations of all the nodes of a network, based on noisy distance measurements for those pairs of nodes in range of each other, and on a small fraction of anchor nodes whose actual positions are known a priori. The methods proposed so far in the literature for tackling this non-convex problem do not generally provide accurate estimates. The difficulty of the localization task is exacerbated by the fact that the network is not generally uniquely localizable when its connectivity is not sufficiently high. In order to alleviate this drawback, we propose a two-objective evolutionary algorithm which takes concurrently into account during the evolutionary process both the localization accuracy and certain topological constraints induced by connectivity considerations. The proposed method is tested with different network configurations and sensor setups, and compared in terms of normalized localization error with another metaheuristic approach, namely SAL, based on simulated annealing. The results show that, in all the experiments, our approach achieves considerable accuracies and significantly outperforms SAL, thus manifesting its effectiveness and stability.

In this work, we study the presence of almost cyclostationary fields in images for the detection and estimation of digital forgeries. The almost periodically correlated fields in the two-dimensional space are introduced by the necessary interpolation operation associated with the applied spatial transformation. In this theoretical context, we extend a statistical time-domain test for presence of cyclostationarity to the two-dimensional space. The proposed method allows us to estimate the scaling factor and the rotation angle of resized and rotated images, respectively. Examples of the output of our method are shown and comparative results are presented to evaluate the performance of the two-dimensional extension.
