Special Session - Signal and Information Processing with Coarsely Quantized Data

Rationale and Outline

Signal processing for emerging data-intense applications like Big data, the Internet of Things and wide-band massive MIMO communication requires methods tailored to hardware limitations concerning memory, transmission bandwidth, and sampling complexity. A promising approach, which has recently gained attention within the scientific community, is to switch from signal acquisition, storage, and processing with high amplitude resolution to system architectures featuring just a small number of bits. In contrast to the conventional high-resolution approach residing in the classical linear-Gaussian framework, coarsely quantized signals demand adjusted system modeling and nonlinear processing techniques.

To foster the dissemination of recent results and new applications, to catalyze discussion and collaboration among researchers, and to raise awareness and interest on this ongoing topic within the signal processing community, the special session Signal and Information Processing with Coarsely Quantized Data presents a selection of late-breaking contributions. Nine of the leading research teams cover fundamental aspects, propose new algorithmic methods, and discuss cutting-edge applications like compressed sensing, advanced array processing, low-cost radar, and modern system design for high-rate mobile communication.
