Patent number: 11275366Abstract: In one embodiment, a management entity monitors for a change in a convergence rate of spatio-temporal compressive sensing measurements from a plurality of sensors in a sensor network operating according to a measurement matrix up to a halting criterion, and if the change is below a given threshold, determines whether the change is due to impulse noise or due to continued sensed measurements. If continued sensed measurements, the management entity initiates a single-dimensional compressive sensing in a spatial domain at regular time intervals, and identifies and tracks gradient clusters. In response to a change in joint spatio-temporal sparsity of tracked nodes of the gradient clusters, the management entity can then determine an updated measurement matrix based on the joint spatio-temporal sparsity of tracked nodes while satisfying one or more operating parameters, and directs at least certain sensors of the plurality of sensors to operate according to the updated measurement matrix.Type: GrantFiled: May 7, 2019Date of Patent: March 15, 2022Assignee: Cisco Technology, Inc.Inventors: Khashayar Mirfakhraei, Amir Hosein Kamalizad, Ardalan Alizadeh, Xu Zhang

Patent number: 8582668Abstract: An embodiment is a method and apparatus to decode a signal using channel information. A channel state estimator generates a tone value representing channel information. A quantizer quantizes the tone value. A combiner combines de-interleaved symbols weighed by the quantized tone value. A comparator compares the combined de-interleaved symbols with a threshold to generate a decoding decision. Another embodiment is a method and apparatus to decode a signal using averaging. A channel estimator provides a channel estimate. A multiplier multiplies a quantized output of a demodulator with the channel estimate to produce N symbols of a signal corresponding to a carrier. A de-interleaver de-interleaves the N symbols. An averager averages the N de-interleaved symbols to generate a channel response at a carrier.Type: GrantFiled: October 23, 2012Date of Patent: November 12, 2013Assignee: Maxim Integrated Products, Inc.Inventors: Kaveh Razazian, Maher Umari, Amir Hosein Kamalizad
