  • A cyclostationary perspective on noncoherent SIMO communications 

    Vila Insa, Marc; Riba Sagarra, Jaume (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2024)
    Conference lecture
    Open Access
    This work explores the statistical properties of the received signal in a noncoherent SIMO setting. We vectorize the classical time-space representation of the communication problem to jointly account for both domains and ...
  • Constellation design for quadratic detection in noncoherent massive SIMO communications 

    Martí Espelt, Aniol; Vila Insa, Marc; Riba Sagarra, Jaume; Lamarca Orozco, M. Meritxell (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2024)
    Conference lecture
    Open Access
    In this work, the problem of constellation design for energy-based modulations in noncoherent massive SIMO systems is studied. Based on previous works, a family of statistical CSI-aware quadratic detectors is considered, ...
  • NSFaaS: Network Slice Federation as a Service in cloud-native 5G and beyond mobile networks 

    Dalgitsis, Michail; Cadenelli, Nicola; Serrano, Maria A.; Bartzoudis, Nikolaos; Alonso Zárate, Luis Gonzaga; Antonopoulos, Angelos (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2023)
    Conference report
    Open Access
    Network slicing has emerged as a revolutionary solution to fifth generation (5G) network design and operation. However, the inherent mobility of the end users introduces important new and unexplored challenges with regard ...
  • LaFresCat: a Catalan multi-accent speech dataset for text-to-speech 

    Peiró Lilja, Alexandre; Llopart Font, Martí; Armentano Oller, Carme; Giraldo Valencia, José Omar; Esquerra Llucià, Ignasi; Farrús Cabeceran, Mireia; Külebi, Baybars (International Speech Communication Association (ISCA), 2024)
    Conference lecture
    Open Access
    Current generative text-to-speech (TTS) models are very robust and capable of learning the phonetics of a language almost perfectly. To do so, it remains crucial that the speech data used to train such models covers all ...
  • Model-based tensor decompositions for soil moisture estimation 

    Basargin, Nikita; Alonso González, Alberto; Hajnsek, Irena (VDE-Verlag, 2024)
    Conference report
    Restricted access - publisher's policy
    Current and future SAR missions offer the potential to obtain high-resolution soil moisture estimates with large coverage and frequent revisit times. This work extends model-based polarimetric inversion methods from coherency ...
  • Analysis of Pol-InSAR coherence region parameters over a permafrost landscape
