Some applications of FISST to wireless communications

Comunicació presentada a la 11th International Conference on Information Fusion, celebrada a Colònia (Alemanya) els dies 30 de juny, 1, 2 i 3 de juliol de 2008, organitzada per l'Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE).This paper aims at illustrating some applications of Finite Random Set (FRS) theory to the design and analysis of wireless communication receivers, and at pointing out similarities and differences between this scenario and that pertaining to multi-target tracking, where the use of FRS has been traditionally advocated. Two case studies are considered, l.e., multiuser detection in a dynamic environment, and multicarrier (OFDM) transmission on a frequency-selective channel. Detector design/nand performance evaluation are discussed, along with the advantages of importing FRS-based estimation techniques to the context of wireless communications
