A novel compressive sensing method based on SVD sparse random measurement matrix in wireless sensor network

Purpose The performance of the measurement matrix directly affects the quality of reconstruction of compressive sensing signal, and it is also the key to solve practical problems. In order to solve data collection problem of wireless sensor network (WSN), the authors design a kind of optimization of sparse matrix. The paper aims to discuss these issues. Design/methodology/approach Based on the sparse random matrix, it optimizes the seed vector, which regards elements in the diagonal matrix of Hadamard matrix after passing singular value decomposition (SVD). Compared with the Toeplitz matrix, it requires less number of independent random variables and the matrix information is more concentrated. Findings The performance of reconstruction is better than that of Gaussian random matrix. The authors also apply this matrix to the data collection scheme in WSN. The result shows that it costs less energy and reduces the collection frequency of nodes compared with general method. Originality/value The authors design a kind of optimization of sparse matrix.
