Project description
The goal of this project is to develop low complexity iterative signal processing methods, mainly for estimation. The focus lies on developing low complexity algorithms for hardware implementation, as well as formulating the theoretical framework behind such algorithms. An efficient implementation starts with the design of an algorithm itself. Considering a future hardware implementation of an algorithm already during its design phase offers a large potential to reduce the complexity of a signal processing system. For this reason, this project covers the theoretical aspects of efficient algorithms as well as implementation specific details of a hardware realization. The project considers traditional l₂-norm estimation as well as combined l1/l2-norm approaches for sparse estimation.

Because estimation algorithms are typically used in applications with noisy measurements, estimation results are naturally afflicted with errors. Due to these inevitable errors, approximate algorithms are often used in this field, allowing for a trade-off between precision and computational complexity. In this project, we especially investigate iterative algorithms, due to their typically fine granularity for tuning complexity as well as approximation error.
For designing low complexity iterative signal processing methods in digital hardware, not only the computational complexity, traditionally measured in multiply-and-accumulate (MAC) operations, has to be considered. For an implementation in digital hardware also memory access operations and memory organization, as well as the organization and placement of operational building blocks has to be considered. Furthermore, alternative implementation concepts such as stochastic computing are investigated within the scope of this project.
