Millimeter-Wave Joint Communication and Sensing (May 11th, 2023)

The high bandwidth available at millimeter-wave frequencies allows for very high data rates, and at the same time enables highly accurate localization and environment sensing. This keynote highlights the practical design aspects of localization and sensing systems, and in particular the challenges of joint communication and sensing. We show how to achieved decimeter-level location accuracy with simple commercial millimeter-wave off-the-shelf communication devices and how sub-6 GHz information can help to further improve the reliability of the system. We also discuss how to use communication hardware to perform zero-cost monitoring of human movement and activities in indoor spaces (rather than using dedicated radars). To this end, access points can be retrofitted to perform radar-like extraction of the tiny micro-Doppler effects caused by the human motion. We then use this to achieve fine-grained sensing applications such as simultaneous activity recognition and person identification of multiple human subjects. We will focus on the practical implementation aspects, testbed design and experimental results with such systems.

Introduction to Graph Signal Processing (May 12th, 2023)

Although processing and analyzing audio, images and video is still of great importance in current society, more and more data is originating from networks with an irregular structure, e.g., social networks, brain networks, sensor networks, and communications networks to name a few. To handle such signals, graph signal processing has recently been coined as a proper tool set. In graph signal processing the irregular structure of the network is captured by means of a graph, and the data is viewed as a signal on top of this graph, i.e., a graph signal. Graph signal processing extends concepts and tools from classical signal processing to the field of graph signals, e.g., the Fourier transform, filtering, sampling, stationarity, etc. In this talk, we introduce the field of graph signal processing and mainly focus on the graph Fourier transform and graph filters. They find applications in image denoising, network data interpolation, signal and link prediction, learning of graph signals and building recommender systems. More recently, connections to distributed optimization as well as neural networks have been established. These last two applications rely heavily on core signal processing techniques such as iterative inversion algorithms and linear time-invariant filters. Graph filters extend these concepts to graphs, leading to key developments in distributed optimization and neural networks.
