  1. Cooperative Sequential Spectrum Sensing Based on Level-triggered Sampling.

    Authors: Xiaodong Wang, Yasin Yilmaz, George Moustakides
    Subjects: Applications
    Abstract

    We propose a new framework for cooperative spectrum sensing in cognitive
    radio networks, that is based on a novel class of non-uniform samplers, called
    the event-triggered samplers, and sequential detection. In the proposed scheme,
    each secondary user computes its local sensing decision statistic based on its
    own channel output; and whenever such decision statistic crosses certain
    predefined threshold values, the secondary user will send one (or several) bit
    of information to the fusion center.

  2. Joint Detection and Estimation: Optimum Tests and Applications.

    Authors: George V. Moustakides, Xiaodong Wang, Ali Tajer, Guido H. Jajamovich
    Subjects: Applications
    Abstract

    We consider a well defined joint detection and parameter estimation problem.
    By combining the Baysian formulation of the estimation subproblem with suitable
    constraints on the detection subproblem we develop optimum one- and two-step
    test for the joint detection/estimation case. The proposed combined strategies
    have the very desirable characteristic to allow for the trade-off between
    detection power and estimation efficiency. Our theoretical developments are
    then applied to the problems of retrospective changepoint detection and MIMO
    radar.

  3. Superimposed XOR: Approaching Capacity Bounds of the Two-Way Relay Channels.

    Authors: Xiaodong Wang, Meixia Tao, Jianquan Liu, Youyun Xu
    Subjects: Information Theory
    Abstract

    In two-way relay channels, bitwise XOR and symbol-level superposition coding
    are two popular network-coding based relaying schemes. However, neither of them
    can approach the capacity bound when the channels in the broadcast phase are
    asymmetric. In this paper, we present a new physical layer network coding
    (PLNC) scheme, called \emph{superimposed XOR}. The new scheme advances the
    existing schemes by specifically taking into account the channel asymmetry as
    well as information asymmetry in the broadcast phase.

  4. Multiuser Diversity Gain in Cognitive Networks.

    Authors: Xiaodong Wang, Ali Tajer
    Subjects: Information Theory
    Abstract

    Dynamic allocation of resources to the \emph{best} link in large multiuser
    networks offers considerable improvement in spectral efficiency. This gain,
    often referred to as \emph{multiuser diversity gain}, can be cast as
    double-logarithmic growth of the network throughput with the number of users.
    In this paper we consider large cognitive networks granted concurrent spectrum
    access with license-holding users. The primary network affords to share its
    under-utilized spectrum bands with the secondary users.

  5. Rigidity Theorems for Compact Manifolds with Boundary and Positive Ricci Curvature.

    Authors: Xiaodong Wang, Fengbo Hang
    Subjects: Differential Geometry
    Abstract

    We prove some boundary rigidity results for the hemisphere under a lower
    bound for Ricci curvature. The main result can be viewed as the Ricci version
    of a conjecture of Min-Oo.

  6. Boundary effect on compact manifolds with nonnegative scalar curvature--a generalization of a theorem of Shi and Tam.

    Authors: Xiaodong Wang
    Subjects: Differential Geometry
    Abstract

    We generalize a theorem of Shi and Tam on the boundary effect of nonnegative
    scalar curvature on compact manifolds with boundary.

  7. An integral formula for the volume entropy with an application to rigidity.

    Authors: Francois Ledrappier, Xiaodong Wang
    Subjects: Differential Geometry
    Abstract

    We extend the theory of Patterson-Sullivan measure to any regular covering of
    a compact manifold using the Busemann compactification and derive an integral
    formula for the volume entropy. As an application we prove a rigidity theorem
    for the volume entropy
