Some applications of FISST to wireless communications

This paper aims at illustrating some applications of finite random set (FRS) theory to the design and analysis of wireless communication receivers, and at pointing out similarities and differences between this scenario and that pertaining to multi-target tracking, where the use of FRS has been traditionally advocated. Two case studies are considered, i.e., multiuser detection in a dynamic environment, and multicarrier (OFDM) transmission on a frequency-selective channel. Detector design and performance evaluation are discussed, along with the advantages of importing FRS-based estimation techniques to the context of wireless communications.
