Localization is an important issue for wireless sensor networks. Target localization has attracted many researchers who work on location based services such as navigation, public transportation and so on. Localization algorithms may be performed in a centralized or distributed manner. In this paper we apply diffusion strategy to the Gauss Newton method and introduce a new distributed diffusion ...

Distributed estimation and processing in networks modeled by graphs have received a great deal of interest recently, due to the benefits of decentralised processing in terms of performance and robustness to communications link failure between nodes of the network. Diffusion-based algorithms have been demonstrated to be among the most effective for distributed signal processing problems, through...

Distributed signal processing algorithms have become a key approach for statistical inference in wireless networks and applications such as wireless sensor networks and smart grids. It is well known that distributed processing techniques deal with the extraction of information from data collected at nodes that are distributed over a geographic area. In this context, for each specific node, a se...

Introduction: Emergent wireless sensor networks based applications have motivated the development of distributed adaptive estimation schemes. Distributed least mean squares (LMS) [1] and recursive least squares (RLS) type algorithms have received more attentions [2]. Readers can refer to [3] and the references therein for details about up to date diffusion strategies for adaptation and learning...

In this paper we consider the issue of distributed adaptive estimation over sensor networks. To deal with more realistic scenario, different variance for observation noise is assumed for sensors in the network. To solve the problem of different variance of observation noise, the proposed method is divided into two phases: I) Estimating each sensor’s observation noise variance and II) using the ...

Distributed adaptive networks achieve better estimation performance by exploiting temporal and as well spatial diversity while consuming few resources. Recent works have studied the single task distributed estimation problem, in which the nodes estimate a single optimum parameter vector collaboratively. However, there are many important applications where the multiple vectors have to estimated ...

Adaptive networks (ANs) are effective real time techniques to process and track events observed by sensor and, more recently, equip Internet of Things (IoT) applications. ANs operate over nodes equipped with collaborative adaptive filters that solve distributively an estimation problem common the whole network. However, they do not guarantee lose from cooperation, as compared its non-cooperativ...

This paper presents distributed adaptive algorithms based on the conjugate gradient (CG) method for distributed networks. Both incre-mental and diffusion adaptive solutions are all considered. The distributed conventional (CG) and modified CG (MCG) algorithms have an improved performance in terms of mean square error as compared with least-mean square (LMS)-based algorithms and a performance th...
