Efficient estimation of graph signals with adaptive sampling
(IEEE, 2020) Ahmadi, Mohammad Javad; Arablouei, R.; Abdolee, R.
We propose two new least mean squares (LMS)-based algorithms for adaptive estimation of graph signals that improve the convergence speed of the LMS algorithm while preserving its low computational complexity. The first algorithm, named extended least mean squares (ELMS), extends the LMS algorithm by virtue of reusing the signal vectors of previous iterations alongside the signal available at the current iteration. Utilizing the previous signal vectors accelerates the convergence of the ELMS algorithm at the expense of higher steady-state error compared to the LMS algorithm. To further improve the performance, we propose the fast ELMS (FELMS) algorithm in which the influence of the signal vectors of previous iterations is controlled by optimizing the gradient of the mean-square deviation (GMSD). The FELMS algorithm converges faster than the ELMS algorithm and has steady-state errors comparable to that of the LMS algorithm. We analyze the mean-square performance of ELMS and FELMS algorithms theoretically and derive the respective convergence conditions as well as the predicted MSD values. In addition, we present an adaptive sampling strategy in which the sampling probability of each node is changed according to the GMSD of the node. Computer simulations using both synthetic and real data validate the theoretical results and demonstrate the merits of the proposed algorithms.

Random spreading for unsourced MAC with power diversity
(IEEE, 2021-10-11) Ahmadi, Mohammad Javad; Duman, Tolga M.
We propose an improvement of the random spreading approach with polar codes for unsourced multiple access, for which each user first encodes its message by a polar code, and then the coded bits are spread using a random spreading sequence. The proposed approach divides the active users into different groups, and employs different power levels for each group in such a way that the average power constraint is satisfied. We formulate and solve an optimization problem to determine the number of groups, and the corresponding user numbers and power levels. Extensive simulations show that the proposed approach outperforms the existing methods, especially when the number of active users is large.

Unsourced random access using multiple stages of orthogonal pilots: MIMO and single-antenna structures
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers , 2024-06-27) Ahmadi, Mohammad Javad; Kazemi, Mohammad; Duman, Tolga Mete
We study the problem of unsourced random access (URA) over Rayleigh block-fading channels with a receiver equipped with multiple antennas. We propose a slotted structure with multiple stages of orthogonal pilots, each of which is randomly picked from a codebook. In the proposed signaling structure, each user encodes its message using a polar code and appends it to the selected pilot sequences to construct its transmitted signal. Accordingly, the transmitted signal is composed of multiple orthogonal pilot parts and a polar-coded part, which is sent through a randomly selected slot. The performance of the proposed scheme is further improved by randomly dividing users into different groups each having a unique interleaver-power pair. We also apply the idea of multiple stages of orthogonal pilots to the case of a single receive antenna. In all the set-ups, we use an iterative approach for decoding the transmitted messages along with a suitable successive interference cancellation technique. The use of orthogonal pilots and the slotted structure lead to improved accuracy and reduced computational complexity in the proposed set-ups, and make the implementation with short blocklengths more viable. Performance of the proposed set-ups is illustrated via extensive simulation results which show that the proposed set-ups with multiple antennas perform better than the existing MIMO URA solutions for both short and large blocklengths, and that the proposed single-antenna set-ups are superior to the existing single-antenna URA schemes.

Unsourced random access with a massive MIMO receiver using multiple stages of orthogonal pilots
(IEEE, 2022) Ahmadi, Mohammad Javad; Duman, Tolga M.
We study the problem of unsourced random access (URA) over Rayleigh block-fading channels with a receiver equipped with multiple antennas. We employ multiple stages of orthogonal pilots, each of which is randomly picked from a codebook. In the proposed scheme, each user encodes its message using a polar code and appends it to the selected pilot sequences to construct its transmitted signal. Accordingly, the received signal consists of superposition of the users’ signals each composed of multiple orthogonal pilot parts and a polar coded part. We use an iterative approach for decoding the transmitted messages along with a suitable successive interference cancellation scheme. Performance of the proposed scheme is illustrated via extensive set of simulation results which show that it significantly outperforms the existing approaches for URA over multiple-input multiple-output fading channels.
