Improving joint recovery of multi-channel ECG signals in compressed sensing-based telemonitoring
systems through multiscale weighting
Anurag Singh and S Dandapat

C omputational complexity and power consumption are prominent issues in wireless telemonitoring applications involving
physiological signals. Compressed sensing (CS) has emerged as a promising framework to address these challenges
because of its energy-efficient data reduction procedure. In this work, a CS-based approach is studied for joint compression/
reconstruction of multichannel electrocardiogram (MECG) signals. Weighted mixed-norm minimization (WMNM)-based
joint sparse recovery algorithm is proposed, which can successfully recover the signals from all the channels simultaneously
by exploiting the inter-channel correlations. The proposed algorithm is based on a multi-scale weighting approach, which
utilizes multi-scale signal information. Under this strategy, weights are designed based on the diagnostic information contents
of each wavelet sub-band/scale. Such a weighting approach emphasizes wavelet sub-bands having high diagnostic importance
during joint CS reconstruction. Coefficients in non-diagnostic sub-bands are deemphasized simultaneously, resulting in a
sparser solution. The proposed method helps achieve superior reconstruction quality with a lower number of measurements.
Reduction in the required number of measurements directly translates into higher compression efficiency, resulting in low
energy consumption in CS-based remote ECG monitoring systems.
