Channel Input Distribution Estimation Using a Minimum I-divergence Algorithm
نویسندگان
چکیده
Given a channel with a known transition probability, we consider the problem of finding the input distribution that most closely achieves a desired output distribution. We pose the problem as a linear inverse problem subject to nonnegativity constraints, and employ an iterative algorithm for minimizing Csiszar’s I-divergence between the desired channel output and the channel output derived from an estimated channel input. We also show how to modify the algorithm to incorporate symmetry constraints on the input distribution. Particular examples involving Rician channels are shown.

Channel Estimation in MIMO Ad Hoc Network with Binomial Node Distribution and Transmit Antenna Selection
Abstract— Reliable channel estimation is an essential task in the development of receivers for multiple input multiple output (MIMO) finite ad hoc networks. The major problem in the estimation of channel coefficients in a MIMO ad hoc network is the interference from the other nodes. In this paper, channel estimation is performed for a finite MIMO ad hoc network where transmitter employs antenna...
متن کاملEstimation of Rényi Information Divergence via Pruned Minimal Spanning Trees
In this paper we develop robust estimators of the Rényi information divergence (I-divergence) given a reference distribution and a random sample from an unknown distribution. Estimation is performed by constructing a minimal spanning tree (MST) passing through the random sample points and applying a change of measure which flattens the reference distribution. In a mixture model where the refere...

The minimum density power divergence method provides a robust estimate in the face of a situation where the dataset includes a number of outlier data. In this study, we introduce and use a robust minimum density power divergence estimator to estimate the parameters of the linear regression model and then with some numerical examples of linear regression model, we show the robustness of this est...
متن کاملApplying Csiszár's I-divergence to blind sparse channel estimation
Compressed sensing (CS) has renewed interest in sparse channel estimation. Herein, a semi-blind, iterative, sparse channel estimation method is proposed. The new method is based on minimizing Csiszár’s I-divergence using Schulz & Snyder’s iterative deautocorrelation algorithm. First, it is shown that the desired methods can be adapted to the problem of interest. The proposed semi-blind method a...
متن کاملRelations between information and estimation in scalar Lévy channels
Fundamental relations between information and estimation have been established in the literature for the discrete-time Gaussian and Poisson channels. In this work, we demonstrate that such relations hold for a much larger class of observation models. We introduce the natural family of discrete-time Lévy channels where the distribution of the output conditioned on the input is infinitely divisib...
