    Abstract

    Source localization by matched-field processing (MFP) generally involves
    solving a number of computationally intensive partial differential equations.
    This paper introduces a technique that mitigates this computational workload by
    "compressing" these computations. Drawing on key concepts from the recently
    developed field of compressed sensing, it shows how a low-dimensional proxy for
    the Green's function can be constructed by backpropagating a small set of
    random receiver vectors.

  2. Channel Protection: Random Coding Meets Sparse Channels.

    Abstract

    Multipath interference is an ubiquitous phenomenon in modern communication
    systems. The conventional way to compensate for this effect is to equalize the
    channel by estimating its impulse response by transmitting a set of training
    symbols. The primary drawback to this type of approach is that it can be
    unreliable if the channel is changing rapidly. In this paper, we show that
    randomly encoding the signal can protect it against channel uncertainty when
    the channel is sparse. Before transmission, the signal is mapped into a
    slightly longer codeword using a random matrix.
