Abstract

Methods, devices and systems for sensor-based wireless communication systems using compressive sampling are provided. In one embodiment, the method for sampling signals comprises receiving, over a wireless channel, a user equipment transmission based on an S-sparse combination of a set of vectors; down converting and discretizing the received transmission to create a discretized signal; correlating the discretized signal with a set of sense waveforms to create a set of samples, wherein a total number of samples in the set is equal to a total number of sense waveforms in the set, wherein the set of sense waveforms does not match the set of vectors, and wherein the total number of sense waveforms in the set of sense waveforms is fewer than a total number of vectors in the set of vectors; and transmitting at least one sample of the set of samples to a remote central processor.

Claims (14)

1. A method for sampling signals, the method comprising:

receiving, over a wireless channel, a user equipment transmission based on an S-sparse combination of a set of vectors;

down converting and discretizing the received transmission to create a discretized signal;

correlating the discretized signal with a set of sense waveforms to create a set of samples, wherein a total number of samples in the set is equal to a total number of sense waveforms in the set, wherein the set of sense waveforms does not match the set of vectors, and wherein the total number of sense waveforms in the set of sense waveforms is fewer than a total number of vectors in the set of vectors; and

transmitting at least one sample of the set of samples to a remote central processor.

2. The method of claim 1 wherein the set of vectors comprises at least one set selected from the list consisting of:

a row of a basis matrix and a column of a basis matrix.

3. The method of claim 1 further comprising:

selecting a new set of sense waveforms responsive to receiving an instruction from the remote central processor.

4. The method of claim 1 further comprising:

adjusting a timing reference responsive to receiving an instruction from the remote central processor.

5. The method of claim 1 further comprising:

changing the number of sense waveforms responsive to receiving an instruction from the remote central processor.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the set of vectors and the set of sense waveforms have a coherence value less than or equal to 0.45 multiplied by a square root of a dimension of a vector in the set of vectors.
