Distributed Diffusion-based LMS for Node-Specific Parameter Estimation over Adaptive Networks
A distributed adaptive algorithm is proposed to solve a node-specific
parameter estimation problem where nodes are interested in estimating
parameters of local interest and parameters of global interest to the whole
network. To address the different node-specific parameter estimation problems,
this novel algorithm relies on a diffusion-based implementation of different
Least Mean Squares (LMS) algorithms, each associated with the estimation of a
specific set of local or global parameters. Although all the different LMS
algorithms are coupled, the diffusion-based implementation of each LMS
algorithm is exclusively undertaken by the nodes of the network interested in a
specific set of local or global parameters. To illustrate the effectiveness of
the proposed technique we provide simulation results in the context of
cooperative spectrum sensing in cognitive radio networks.Comment: 5 pages, 2 figures, Published in Proc. IEEE ICASSP, Florence, Italy,

Diffusion Adaptation Strategies for Distributed Estimation over Gaussian Markov Random Fields
The aim of this paper is to propose diffusion strategies for distributed
estimation over adaptive networks, assuming the presence of spatially
correlated measurements distributed according to a Gaussian Markov random field
(GMRF) model. The proposed methods incorporate prior information about the
statistical dependency among observations, while at the same time processing
data in real-time and in a fully decentralized manner. A detailed mean-square
analysis is carried out in order to prove stability and evaluate the
steady-state performance of the proposed strategies. Finally, we also
illustrate how the proposed techniques can be easily extended in order to
incorporate thresholding operators for sparsity recovery applications.
Numerical results show the potential advantages of using such techniques for
distributed learning in adaptive networks deployed over GMRF.Comment: Submitted to IEEE Transactions on Signal Processing. arXiv admin

Sparse Distributed Learning Based on Diffusion Adaptation
This article proposes diffusion LMS strategies for distributed estimation
over adaptive networks that are able to exploit sparsity in the underlying
system model. The approach relies on convex regularization, common in
compressive sensing, to enhance the detection of sparsity via a diffusive
process over the network. The resulting algorithms endow networks with learning
abilities and allow them to learn the sparse structure from the incoming data
in real-time, and also to track variations in the sparsity of the model. We
provide convergence and mean-square performance analysis of the proposed method
and show under what conditions it outperforms the unregularized diffusion
version. We also show how to adaptively select the regularization parameter.
Simulation results illustrate the advantage of the proposed filters for sparse
data recovery.Comment: to appear in IEEE Trans. on Signal Processing, 201
