Distributed Fusion Estimation for Sensor Networks with Communication Constraints

This book systematically presents energy-efficient robust fusion estimation methods to achieve thorough and comprehensive results in the context of network-based fusion estimation. It summarizes recent findings on fusion estimation with communication constraints; several novel energy-efficient and robust design methods for dealing with energy constraints and network-induced uncertainties are presented, such as delays, packet losses, and asynchronous information... All the results are presented as algorithms, which are convenient for practical applications.

The first book to discuss multi-sensor fusion estimation for sensor networks with communication constraints Provide a novel dimension reduction method for energy-efficient fusion Provide a novel multi-rate method for energy-efficient fusion estimation Provide a novel fusion estimation method for sensor networks with delays and packet losses
