Large-System Analysis of Sparse Bayesian Learning

Fangqing Xiao, Dirk T. M. Slock

Sparse Bayesian learning is widely used for sparse linear inverse problems, yet its large-system stationary behavior remains poorly understood because all variance hyperparameters…

Single-Base-Station Indoor Localization via Super-Resolved Relative Power Delay Profiles

Fangqing Xiao, Dirk T. M. Slock

Indoor multipath is shaped by surrounding reflectors, scatterers, and blockages, so a relative power-delay profile (PDP) can serve as a location fingerprint without an identifiable…

Gaussian-Process Dynamics of Diagonal Expectation Propagation under Variance-Profile Gaussian Measurements

Fangqing Xiao, Dirk T. M. Slock

State-evolution analyses of approximate-message-passing and expectation-propagation-type algorithms rely on an effective-channel principle: after a suitable Onsager, orthogonal, or…

Performance Benchmarks for Line Spectral Estimation: Ordered Ziv-Zakai Characterization and Plug-In Amplitude Error Analysis

Fangqing Xiao, Dirk T. M. Slock

Line spectral estimation (LSE) involves estimating both spectral frequencies and their associated complex amplitudes. Existing Fisher-information-based benchmarks are local and the…

Avoiding Non-Integrable Beliefs in Expectation Propagation

Zilu Zhao, Jichao Chen, Dirk Slock

Expectation Propagation (EP) is a widely used iterative message-passing algorithm that decomposes a global inference problem into multiple local ones. It approximates marginal dist…

Approximating Univariate Factored Distributions via Message-Passing Algorithms

Zilu Zhao, Dirk Slock

Gaussian Mixture Models (GMMs) commonly arise in communication systems, particularly in bilinear joint estimation and detection problems. Although the product of GMMs is still a GM…

Distributed Iterative ML and Message Passing for Grant-Free Cell-Free Massive MIMO Systems

Zilu Zhao, Christian Forsch, Laura Cottatellucci +1

Cell-Free (CF) Massive Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (MaMIMO) is considered one of the leading candidates for enabling next-generation wireless communication. With the growing int…

Bayesian Learning for Pilot Decontamination in Cell-Free Massive MIMO

Christian Forsch, Zilu Zhao, Dirk Slock +1

Pilot contamination (PC) arises when the pilot sequences assigned to user equipments (UEs) are not mutually orthogonal, eventually due to their reuse. In this work, we propose a no…

Multipath Component Power Delay Profile Based Joint Range and Doppler Estimation for AFDM-ISAC Systems

Fangqing Xiao, Zunqi Li, Dirk Slock

Integrated Sensing and Communication (ISAC) systems combine sensing and communication functionalities within a unified framework, enhancing spectral efficiency and reducing costs b…

Decentralized Expectation Propagation for Semi-Blind Channel Estimation in Cell-Free Networks

Zilu Zhao, Dirk Slock

This paper serves as a correction to the conference version. In this work, we explore uplink communication in cell-free (CF) massive multiple-input multiple-output (MaMIMO) systems…
