Censoring Diffusion for Harvesting WSNs
In this paper, we analyze energy-harvesting adaptive diffusion networks for a
distributed estimation problem. In order to wisely manage the available energy
resources, we propose a scheme where a censoring algorithm is jointly applied
over the diffusion strategy. An energy-aware variation of a diffusion algorithm
is used, and a new way of measuring the relevance of the estimates in diffusion
networks is proposed in order to apply a subsequent censoring mechanism.
Simulation results show the potential benefit of integrating censoring schemes
in energy-constrained diffusion networks.Comment: Accepted in 2015 IEEE International Workshop on Computational

A Sampling Algorithm for Diffusion Networks
In this paper, we propose a sampling mechanism for adaptive diffusion
networks that adaptively changes the amount of sampled nodes based on
mean-squared error in the neighborhood of each node. It presents fast
convergence during transient and a significant reduction in the number of
sampled nodes in steady state. Besides reducing the computational cost, the
proposed mechanism can also be used as a censoring technique, thus saving
energy by reducing the amount of communication between nodes. We also present a
theoretical analysis to obtain lower and upper bounds for the number of network
nodes sampled in steady state.Comment: Change from previous version: included a header in the first page

A Low-Cost Algorithm for Adaptive Sampling and Censoring in Diffusion Networks
Distributed signal processing has attracted widespread attention in the
scientific community due to its several advantages over centralized approaches.
Recently, graph signal processing has risen to prominence, and adaptive
distributed solutions have also been proposed in the area. Both in the
classical framework and in graph signal processing, sampling and censoring
techniques have been topics of intense research, since the cost associated with
measuring and/or transmitting data throughout the entire network may be
prohibitive in certain applications. In this paper, we propose a low-cost
adaptive mechanism for sampling and censoring over diffusion networks that uses
information from more nodes when the error in the network is high and from less
nodes otherwise. It presents fast convergence during transient and a
significant reduction in computational cost and energy consumption in steady
state. As a censoring technique, we show that it is able to noticeably
outperform other solutions. We also present a theoretical analysis to give
insights about its operation, and to help the choice of suitable values for its
parameters.Comment: arXiv admin note: text overlap with arXiv:2007.0645
