## AN IMPROVED DOA ESTIMATOR BASED ON PARTIAL RELAXATION APPROACH

In the partial relaxation approach, at each desired direction, the manifold structure of the remaining interfering signals impinging on the sensor array is relaxed, which results in closed form estimates for the interference parameters. By adopting this approach, in this paper, a new estimator based on the unconstrained covariance fitting problem is proposed. To obtain the null-spectra efficiently, an iterative rooting scheme based on the rational function approximation is applied.

## Semidefinite Programming for TDOA Localization with Locally Synchronized Anchor Nodes

The most state-of-art time-difference-of-arrival (TDOA) localization algorithms are performed under the assumption that all the nodes are synchronized. However, for a widely distributed wireless sensor networks (WSNs), time synchronization between all the nodes is not a trival problem. In this paper, we study the problem of source localization using signal TDOA measurements in the system of nodes part synchronization. Starting from the maximum likelihood estimator (MLE), we develop a semidefinite programming (SDP) approach.

## Joint Estimation of the Room Geometry and Modes with Compressed Sensing

Acoustical behavior of a room for a given position of microphone and sound source is usually described using the room impulse response. If we rely on the standard uniform sampling, the estimation of room impulse response for arbitrary positions in the room requires a large number of measurements. In order to lower the required sampling rate, some solutions have emerged that exploit the sparse representation of the room wavefield in the terms of plane waves in the low-frequency domain. The plane wave representation has a simple form in rectangular rooms.

## SOURCE AND DIRECTION OF ARRIVAL ESTIMATION BASED ON MAXIMUM LIKELIHOOD COMBINED WITH GMM AND EIGENANALYSIS

A method is proposed for estimating the source signal and its direction of arrival (DOA) in this paper. It is based on ML estimation of the transfer function between microphones combined with the EM algorithm for a Gaussian Mixture Model (GMM), assuming that the signal is captured at each microphone with delay corresponding to the traveling of sound and some decay. By this modeling, search for the maximum log-likelihood in the ML estimation can be realized simply by eigenvalue decomposition of a properly designed matrix.

## Cooperative Tracking using Marginal Diffusion Particle Filters

This paper formulates the general Adapt-then-Combine (ATC) and Random Exchange (RndEx) diffusion filters for an arbitrary nonlinear state-space model. Subsequently, we propose two novel marginal Particle Filter implementations of the general ATC and RndEx filters using respectively a pure Sequential Monte Carlo (SMC) strategy and a hybrid Gaussian/SMC methodology. The proposed algorithms are assessed via simulation in a numerical example of cooperative target tracking with received-signal-strength (RSS) sensors.

## Reconstruction of Euclidean Embeddings in Dense Networks

We consider the problem of determining the Euclidean embedding of a dense, planar sensor network. The sensors are equipped with a binary sensing protocol that enables them to detect the neighboring sensors within a fixed radius, R. Using only this connectivity graph, we reconstruct an approximate embedding of the network on an Euclidean plane. To that end, we design an algorithm to identify special landmark nodes in the network whose Euclidean embedding is close'' to the vertices of an ideal hexagonal lattice.

## Approximate Support Recovery of Atomic Line Spectral Estimation: A Tale of Resolution and Precision

This work investigates the parameter estimation performance of super-resolution line spectral estimation using atomic norm minimization. The focus is on analyzing the algorithm's accuracy of inferring the frequencies and complex magnitudes from noisy observations. When the Signal-to-Noise Ratio is reasonably high and the true frequencies are separated by $O(\frac{1}{n})$, the atomic norm estimator is shown to localize the correct number of frequencies, each within a neighborhood of size $O(\sqrt{\frac{\log n}{n^3}} \sigma)$ of one of the true frequencies.

## Super Nested Arrays: Sparse Arrays with Less Mutual Coupling Than Nested Arrays

In array processing, mutual coupling between sensors has an adverse effect on the estimation of parameters (e.g., DOA). Sparse arrays, such as nested arrays, coprime arrays, and minimum redundancy arrays (MRAs), have reduced mutual coupling compared to uniform linear arrays (ULAs). With $N$ denoting the number of sensors, these sparse arrays offer $O(N^2)$ freedoms for source estimation because their difference coarrays have $O(N^2)$-long ULA segments.
