On the Statistical Analysis of the Multipath Propagation Model Parameters for Power Line Communications

no code implementations26 Mar 2024 Alberto Pittolo, Irene Povedano, José A. Cortés, Francisco J. Cañete, Andrea M. Tonello

This paper proposes a fitting procedure that aims to identify the statistical properties of the parameters that describe the most widely known multipath propagation model (MPM) used in power line communication (PLC).

$f$-Divergence Based Classification: Beyond the Use of Cross-Entropy

1 code implementation2 Jan 2024 Nicola Novello, Andrea M. Tonello

In addition, driven by the challenge of improving the state-of-the-art approach, we propose a bottom-up method that leads us to the formulation of a new objective function (and posterior probability estimator) corresponding to a novel $f$-divergence referred to as shifted log (SL).

Variational $f$-Divergence and Derangements for Discriminative Mutual Information Estimation

1 code implementation31 May 2023 Nunzio A. Letizia, Nicola Novello, Andrea M. Tonello

We propose a novel class of discriminative mutual information estimators based on the variational representation of the $f$-divergence.

An Asymptotically Equivalent GLRT Test for Distributed Detection in Wireless Sensor Networks

no code implementations28 Apr 2023 Juan Augusto Maya, Leonardo Rey Vega, Andrea M. Tonello

Nevertheless, its asymptotic performance is proved to be identical to the original GLRT, showing that the statistically dependence of the measurements has no impact on the detection performance in the asymptotic scenario.

Copula Density Neural Estimation

An Exponentially-Tight Approximate Factorization of the Joint PDF of Statistical Dependent Measurements in Wireless Sensor Networks

no code implementations9 Nov 2022 Juan Augusto Maya, Leonardo Rey Vega, Andrea M. Tonello

When the source is present, the computation of the joint PDF of the energy measurements at the nodes is a challenging problem.

MIND: Maximum Mutual Information Based Neural Decoder

1 code implementation14 May 2022 Andrea M. Tonello, Nunzio A. Letizia

The computation of the a-posteriori information is a formidable task, and for the majority of channels it is unknown.

Discriminative Mutual Information Estimators for Channel Capacity Learning

1 code implementation7 Jul 2021 Nunzio A. Letizia, Andrea M. Tonello

This is because it requires to carry out two formidable tasks a) the computation of the mutual information between the channel input and output, and b) its maximization with respect to the signal distribution at the channel input.

Capacity-Approaching Autoencoders for Communications

no code implementations11 Sep 2020 Nunzio A. Letizia, Andrea M. Tonello

In this paper, we address the challenge of designing capacity-approaching codes by incorporating the presence of the communication channel into a novel loss function for the autoencoder training.
