Fundamental Limits in Model Selection for Modern Data Analysis

Book section · January 1, 2021 With rapid development in hardware storage, precision instrument manufacturing, and economic globalization etc., data in various forms have become ubiquitous in human life. This enormous amount of data can be a double-edged sword. While it provides the pos ... Full text Cite

Improving Target Localization and Tracking by Dynamically Prioritized Frequency Band Allocation for Wireless Sensor Networks in Urban Environments

Book section · January 1, 2016 In a multi-modal wireless sensor network, sensors of different modalities (or types) cluster together to accomplish the tasks of sensing, fusion, and management of cluster resources and to meet the application goals. A distributed sensor network consists o ... Full text Cite

Random array theory and collaborative beamforming

Book section · December 1, 2008 In wireless sensor networks, the sensor nodes are often randomly situated, and each node is likely to be equipped with a single antenna. If these sensor nodes are able to synchronize, it is possible to beamform by considering sensor nodes as a random array ... Full text Cite

Information theoretic analysis of cognitive radio systems

Book section · December 1, 2007 Cognitive radios have recently emerged as a prime candidates for exploiting the increasingly flexible licensing of wireless spectrum. Regulatory bodies have come to realize that most of the time, large portions of certain licensed frequency bands remain em ... Full text Cite

Fundamental limits of cognitive radio networks

Book section · December 1, 2007 Cognitive radios have the potential to greatly improve spectral effi- ciency in wireless networks. In this chapter we explore the fundamental limits of communication in channels employing cognitive radios. We take an informationtheoretic approach, making u ... Full text Cite

Cooperation, competition and cognition in wireless networks: From theory to implementation

Book section · December 1, 2006 Nodes and/or clusters of a wireless network operating on the same frequency can operate using three different paradigms: 1) Competition: Traditionally, this is information theoretically casted in the framework of interference channels. 2) Cooperation: Sile ...
