Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Certain aspects of the present disclosure relate to a method for quantizing an analog received signal in a low-power body area network (LP-BAN) by using a limited number of quantization bits, while information of the received signal is preserved for accurate signal reconstruction. The quantized signal can be equalized in such a way to generate an output equalized signal based on the periodic-sinc function, which is suitable for a subsequent Finite Rate of Innovation (FRI) processing. The noisy equalized signal can be further processed by applying improved (i.e., faster) Cadzow denoising algorithm as a part of the FRI processing.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A method for wireless communications, comprising: receiving a signal transmitted over a wireless channel, wherein the received signal comprises a corrupted impulse signal; quantizing the received signal using a defined threshold value to obtain a quantized signal with multiple different values, wherein the quantized signal comprises the corrupted impulse signal; equalizing the quantized signal using a non-corrupted version of the impulse signal and…
