This article addresses a modification of local time for stochastic processes, to be referred to as `natural local time'. It is prompted by theoretical developments arising in mathematical treatments of recent experiments and observations of…
Two-Way Ranging enables the distance estimation between two active parties and allows time of flight measurements despite relative clock offset and drift. Limited by the number of messages, scalable solutions build on Time Difference of…
In this work, we consider the problem of localizing multiple signal sources based on time-difference of arrival (TDOA) measurements. In the blind setting, in which the source signals are not known, the localization task is challenging due…
Deep neural networks (DNNs) are very effective for multichannel speech enhancement with fixed array geometries. However, it is not trivial to use DNNs for ad-hoc arrays with unknown order and placement of microphones. We propose a novel…
Ad-hoc networks, a promising trend in wireless technology, fail to work properly in a global setting. In most cases, self-organization and cost-free local communication cannot compensate the need for being connected, gathering urgent…
This is the write-up of the talk I gave at the 23rd International Symposium on Mathematical Programming (ISMP) in Bordeaux, France, July 6th, 2018. The talk was a general overview of the state of the art of time-varying, mainly convex,…
We investigate the stochastic transfer synchronization problem, which seeks to synchronize the timetables of different routes in a transit network to reduce transfer waiting times, delay times, and unnecessary in-vehicle times. We present a…
We consider a time-slotted two-hop wireless system in which the sources transmit to the relays in the even time slots (first hop) and the relays forward the packets to the destinations in the odd time slots (second hop). Each source may…
In IEEE 802.11 Wireless Local Area Networks (WLANs), network nodes experiencing collisions on the shared channel need to backoff for a random period of time, which is uniformly selected from the Contention Window (CW). This contention…
We propose a diarization system, that estimates "who spoke when" based on spatial information, to be used as a front-end of a meeting transcription system running on the signals gathered from an acoustic sensor network (ASN). Although the…
This paper is motivated by periodic data transmission in autonomous cars. We considered periodic tasks (with different periods) on one or several machines. After reviewing the literature on the subject, we managed to generalize a result of…
As irregularly structured data representations, graphs have received a large amount of attention in recent years and have been widely applied to various real-world scenarios such as social, traffic, and energy settings. Compared to…
Time lags are ubiquitous in biophysiological processes and more generally in real-world complex networks. It has been recently proposed to use information-theoretic tools such as transfer entropy to detect and estimate a possible delay in…
