This paper investigates an intelligent reflecting surface (IRS) assisted simultaneous wireless information and power transfer (SWIPT) system. Multiple IRSs deployed on unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and ground building are considered in the proposed system for enhancing transmission of information and energy simultaneously. The optimization problem is formulated to maximize the average achievable rate over N time slots by jointly optimizing power splitting (PS) ratio, transmit beamforming, phase shifts and trajectories of UAVs.

Associated SPS Event: IEEE ICASSP 2021 Grand Challenge The ICASSP 2021 Deep Noise Suppression (DNS) challenge is designed to foster innovation in the field of noise suppression to achieve superior perceptual speech quality. We recently organized a DNS challenge special session at INTERSPEECH 2020. We open sourced training and test datasets for researchers to train their noise suppression models. We also open sourced a subjective evaluation framework and used the tool to evaluate and pick the final winners. Many researchers from academia and industry made significant contributions to push the field forward.

Every person spends around 1/3 of their life in bed. For an infant or a young toddler this percentage can be much higher, and for bed-bound patients it can go up to 100% of their time. In-bed pose estimation is a critical step in many human behavioral monitoring systems, which are focused on prevention, prediction, and management of at-rest or sleep-related conditions in both adults and children.

The SPS membership numbers have been stable, albeit low, for many years in Region 9. However, there has been a decrease in student membership even though the number of active students in the areas of interest of signal processing remain high throughout the whole region.

The IEEE Signal Processing Society Chapter of the Year Award will be presented for the 11th time in 2022. The award will be presented annually to a Chapter that has provided their membership with the highest quality of programs, activities and services. The award will be presented annually in conjunction with the International Conference on Acoustics, Speech and Signal Processing (ICASSP) to the Chapter’s representative.

This webinar will discuss the MMSE channel estimator for a simple SIMO system model, without knowledge of the required channel statistics. Although the derived MMSE estimator is computationally intractable in the general form, its structure can be used to motivate a neural network architecture with lower complexity.
