Abstract

Background and Objectives: Compressive sensing (CS) theory has been widely used in various fields, such as wireless communications. One of the main issues in the wireless communication field in recent years is how to identify block-sparse systems. We can follow this issue, by using CS theory and block-sparse signal recovery algorithms.
Methods: This paper presents a new block-sparse signal recovery algorithm for the adaptive block-sparse system identification scenario, named stochastic block normalized iterative hard thresholding (SBNIHT) algorithm. The proposed algorithm is a new block version of the SSR normalized iterative hard thresholding (NIHT) algorithm with an adaptive filter framework. It uses a search method to identify the blocks of the impulse response of the unknown block-sparse system that we wish to estimate. In addition, the necessary condition to guarantee the convergence for this algorithm is derived in this paper.
Results: Simulation results show that the proposed SBNIHT algorithm has a better performance than other algorithms in the literature with respect to the convergence and tracking capability.
Conclusion: In this study, one new greedy algorithm is suggested for the block-sparse system identification scenario. Although the proposed SBNIHT algorithm is more complex than other competing algorithms but has better convergence and tracking capability performance.

LETTERS TO EDITOR

Journal of Electrical and Computer Engineering Innovations (JECEI) welcomes letters to the editor for the post-publication discussions and corrections which allows debate post publication on its site, through the Letters to Editor. Letters pertaining to manuscript published in JECEI should be sent to the editorial office of JECEI within three months of either online publication or before printed publication, except for critiques of original research. Following points are to be considering before sending the letters (comments) to the editor.


[1] Letters that include statements of statistics, facts, research, or theories should include appropriate references, although more than three are discouraged.

[2] Letters that are personal attacks on an author rather than thoughtful criticism of the author’s ideas will not be considered for publication.

[3] Letters can be no more than 300 words in length.

[4] Letter writers should include a statement at the beginning of the letter stating that it is being submitted either for publication or not.

[5] Anonymous letters will not be considered.

[6] Letter writers must include their city and state of residence or work.

[7] Letters will be edited for clarity and length.
