In the Internet of Things scenario, a desirable feature of wireless sensors is the energy autonomy. However, the transmitter stage needs a great amount of energy to modulate and transmit the interested information. The power consumption can be improved using data compression algorithms: thereby, the total amount of the transmitted data is reduced, at expense of computational complexity. Alternatively, the recent compressed sensing technique can be applied on sparse signal instances, that is when most of the entries of the signal are zero or negligible in a fixed representation. Compressed sensing acquires directly the compressed information using nonadaptive measurements and it reconstructs the signal using non-linear algorithms. Each measu...
