Cooperative Simultaneous Localization and Synchronization in Mobile Agent Networks
Cooperative localization in agent networks based on interagent time-of-flight
measurements is closely related to synchronization. To leverage this relation,
we propose a Bayesian factor graph framework for cooperative simultaneous
localization and synchronization (CoSLAS). This framework is suited to mobile
agents and time-varying local clock parameters. Building on the CoSLAS factor
graph, we develop a distributed (decentralized) belief propagation algorithm
for CoSLAS in the practically important case of an affine clock model and
asymmetric time stamping. Our algorithm allows for real-time operation and is
suitable for a time-varying network connectivity. To achieve high accuracy at
reduced complexity and communication cost, the algorithm combines particle
implementations with parametric message representations and takes advantage of
a conditional independence property. Simulation results demonstrate the good
performance of the proposed algorithm in a challenging scenario with
time-varying network connectivity.Comment: 13 pages, 6 figures, 3 tables; manuscript submitted to IEEE

Outlier detection techniques for wireless sensor networks: A survey
In the field of wireless sensor networks, those measurements that significantly deviate from the normal pattern of sensed data are considered as outliers. The potential sources of outliers include noise and errors, events, and malicious attacks on the network. Traditional outlier detection techniques are not directly applicable to wireless sensor networks due to the nature of sensor data and specific requirements and limitations of the wireless sensor networks. This survey provides a comprehensive overview of existing outlier detection techniques specifically developed for the wireless sensor networks. Additionally, it presents a technique-based taxonomy and a comparative table to be used as a guideline to select a technique suitable for the application at hand based on characteristics such as data type, outlier type, outlier identity, and outlier degree

Traditional outlier detection techniques are not directly
applicable to wireless sensor networks due to the multivariate
nature of sensor data and specific requirements and limitations of
the wireless sensor networks. This survey provides a comprehensive
overview of existing outlier detection techniques specifically
developed for the wireless sensor networks. Additionally, it
presents a technique-based taxonomy and a decision tree to be used
