  1. Cell-free communication has the potential to significantly improve grant-free transmission in massive machine-type communication, wherein multiple access points jointly serve a large number of user equipments to improve coverage and spectral efficiency. In this paper, we propose a novel framework for joint active user detection (AUD), channel estimation (CE), and data detection (DD) for massive grant-free transmission in cell-free systems. We formulate an optimization problem for joint AUD, CE, and DD by considering both the sparsity of the data matrix, which arises from intermittent user activity, and the sparsity of the effective channel matrix, which arises from intermittent user activity and large-scale fading. We approximately solve this optimization problem with a box-constrained forward-backward splitting algorithm, which significantly improves AUD, CE, and DD performance. We demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed framework through simulation experiments.

  2. Signal detection limit (SDL), limit of detection (LOD), and limit of quantitation of a portable Raman spectrometer were measured for smokeless gunpowder stabilizers, diphenylamine (DPA) and ethyl centralite (EC), in acetone, acetonitrile, ethanol, and methanol. Acetone yielded the lowest LOD for three of four DPA peaks, and acetonitrile yielded the lowest LOD for two of three EC peaks and the remaining DPA peak. When gold nanoparticles were added to the DPA solutions in acetone and acetonitrile, statistically significant changes were observed (DPA peak position, full width at half maximum, and/or total area) and SDL was improved for the majority of all peaks in both solvents.

  3. Signal anomaly detection is commonly used to detect rogue or unexpected signals. It has many applications in interference mitigation, wireless security, optimized spectrum allocation, and radio coordination. Our work proposes a new method for anomaly detection on signal detection metadata using generative adversarial network output processed by a long short term memory recurrent neural network. We provide a performance analysis and comparison to baseline methods, and demonstrate that through the usage of metadata for analytics, we can provide robust detection, while also minimizing computation and bandwidth, and generalizing to numerous effects which differs from many prior works that focus on A.D. based signal processing on the raw RF sample data.
