Distributed Spectrum Estimation Based on Alternating Mixed Discrete-Continuous Adaptation

Abstract:

This presentation describes a distributed alternating mixed discrete-continuous (DAMDC) technique that approaches the optimal "oracle" solution that consists of solving a mixed continuous-discrete optimization problem using a diffusion strategy for general parameter estimation or spectrum estimation over sensor networks. A least mean squares (LMS) type algorithm that obtains the oracle adaptively is developed and compared with the existing approaches. The proposed algorithm exhibits improved performance in terms of mean square deviation and power spectrum estimation accuracy over existing suboptimal solutions. Numerical results show that the DAMDC algorithm achieves excellent performance.
