Bandwidth-constrained distributed estimation for wireless sensor Networks-part I: Gaussian case

Ribeiro, A., Giannakis, G.B.·2006·IEEE Transactions on Signal Processing

Abstract

We study deterministic mean-location parameter estimation when only quantized versions of the original observations are available, due to bandwidth constraints. When the dynamic range of the parameter is small or comparable with the noise variance, we introduce a class of maximum-likelihood estimators that require transmitting just one bit per sensor to achieve an estimation variance close to that of the (clairvoyant) sample mean estimator. When the dynamic range is comparable or larger than the noise standard deviation, we show that an optimum quantization step exists to achieve the best possible variance for a given bandwidth constraint. We will also establish that in certain cases the sample mean estimator formed by quantized observations is preferable for complexity reasons. We finally touch upon algorithm implementation issues and guarantee that all the numerical maximizations required by the proposed estimators are concave.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
