Abstract

In this report, a novel efficient algorithm for recovery of jointly sparse signals (sparse matrix) from multiple incomplete measurements has been presented, in particular, the NESTA-based MMV optimization method. In a nutshell, the jointly sparse recovery is obviously superior to applying standard sparse reconstruction methods to each channel individually. Moreover several efforts have been made to improve the NESTA-based MMV algorithm, in particular, (1) the NESTA-based MMV algorithm for partially known support to greatly improve the convergence rate, (2) the detection of partial (or all) locations of unknown jointly sparse signals by using so-called MUSIC algorithm; (3) the iterative NESTA-based algorithm by combing hard thresholding technique to decrease the numbers of measurements. It has been shown that by using proposed approach one can recover the unknown sparse matrix X with () Spark A -sparsity from () Spark A measurements, predicted in Ref. [1], where the measurement matrix denoted by A satisfies the so-called restricted isometry property (RIP). Under a very mild condition on the sparsity of X and characteristics of the A, the iterative hard threshold (IHT)-based MMV method has been shown to be also a very good candidate.
