Compressed sensing K-best detection for sparse multi-user communications [pdf]Paper  abstract   bibtex   
Machine-type communications are quite often of very low data rate and of sporadic nature and therefore not well-suited for nowadays high data rate cellular communication systems. Since signaling overhead must be reasonable in relation to message size, research towards joint activity and data estimation was initiated. When the detection of sporadic multi-user signals is modeled as a sparse vector recovery problem, signaling concerning node activity can be avoided as it was demonstrated in previous works. In this paper we show how well-known K-Best detection can be modified to approximately solve this finite alphabet Compressed Sensing problem. We also demonstrate that this approach is robust against parameter variations and even works in cases where fewer measurements than unknown sources are available.
