Contributors: M. Domínguez-Jiménez, N. González-Prelcic *, G. Vazquez-Vilar* & R. López-Valcarce *
TL;DR:
This work analyzes the matrix involved in the corresponding reconstruction equation and defines a new method for the design of universal multicoset codes, that is, codes guaranteeing perfect reconstruction of the sparse multiband signal.

2010 conference paper
Wideband spectral estimation from compressed measurements exploiting spectral a priori information in cognitive radio systems
ICASSP, IEEE International Conference on Acoustics, Speech and Signal Processing - Proceedings, 2958–2961.
Contributors: G. Vazquez-Vilar*, R. López-Valcarce *, C. Mosquera * & N. González-Prelcic *
author keywords: Spectral estimation; compressive sampling; cognitive radio
TL;DR:
A Bayesian based iterative algorithm is described that discovers the set of active signals conforming the band and simultaneously reconstructs the spectrum and is shown to perform close to a Genie-Aided CRLB that includes full knowledge about the sparsity pattern of the channels.

Adaptive tiling of the time-frequency plane with application to multiresolution-based perceptive audio coding
Signal Processing, 81(2), 301–319.
Contributors: N. Prelcic* & A. Pena*
author keywords: tree structured filter banks; best basis selection; psychoacoustic model; perceptual audio coding
TL;DR:
A complete adaptive analysis system suitable for the compression of audio signals is presented and it is found that, for the application of audio compression, the perceptually driven basis selection algorithm leads to a much higher compression efficiency and better quality of the reconstructed signal.
