Objective: Sleep related respiratory abnormalities are typically detected using polysomnography. There is a need in general medicine and critical care for a more convenient method to automatically detect sleep apnea from a simple,…

In this work we investigate the network MIMO techniques of interference alignment (IA) and fully adaptive joint transmission coordinated multipoint (CoMP) in an indoor very small cell environment. Our focus is on the overheads in a system…

We introduce a new efficient framework, the Unified Context Network (UniCon), for robust active speaker detection (ASD). Traditional methods for ASD usually operate on each candidate's pre-cropped face track separately and do not…

Sleep is essential for maintaining human health and quality of life. Analyzing physiological signals during sleep is critical in assessing sleep quality and diagnosing sleep disorders. However, manual diagnoses by clinicians are…

Sleep apnea is a serious sleep-related breathing disorder that is common and can impact health if left untreated. Currently the traditional method for screening and diagnosis is overnight polysomnography. Polysomnography is expensive and…

Pervasive applications are involving more and more autonomous computing and communicating devices, augmented with the abilities of sensing and controlling the logical / physical environment. To enable context-awareness for such…

Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a prevalent sleep disorder affecting approximately one billion people world-wide. The current gold standard for diagnosing OSA, Polysomnography (PSG), involves an overnight hospital stay with multiple…

This paper investigates the optimization of reconfigurable intelligent surface (RIS) in an integrated sensing and communication (ISAC) system. \red{To meet the demand of growing number of devices, power domain non-orthogonal multiple access…

Autonomous systems (AS) are systems that can adapt and change their behavior in response to unanticipated events and include systems such as aerial drones, autonomous vehicles, and ground/aquatic robots. AS require a wide array of sensors,…

Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a common sleep disorder caused by abnormal breathing. The severity of OSA can lead to many symptoms such as sudden cardiac death (SCD). Polysomnography (PSG) is a gold standard for OSA diagnosis. It records…

Contextual proximity detection (or, co-presence detection) is a promising approach to defend against relay attacks in many mobile authentication systems. We present a systematic assessment of co-presence detection in the presence of a…

Study Objectives: To evaluate the agreement between the millimeter-wave radar-based device and polysomnography (PSG) in diagnosis of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and classification of sleep stage in children. Methods: 281 children, aged 1…

Compared with invasive examinations that require tissue sampling, respiratory sound testing is a non-invasive examination method that is safer and easier for patients to accept. In this study, we introduce Rene, a pioneering large-scale…

Sleep apnea syndrome requires early diagnosis because this syndrome can lead to a variety of health problems. If sleep apnea events can be detected in a noncontact manner using radar, we can then avoid the discomfort caused by the…
