Figure 3 shows the timing diagram of tracking and consensus updates process in the proposed distributed tracking with consensus algorithm.
In the scenarios we consider, we assume that the information exchange rate during the consensus update process is much higher.
Consensus updates are performed between every two tracking updates, where 0 ≤ j < J denotes the consensus iteration number, and J is the number of consensus iterations per tracking update (assumed to be fixed).
Note that, the nodes that do not observe the target will not have updated local estimates to share at the beginning of consensus update process (at j = 0).
According to a recent consensus update, "dystonia is a movement disorder characterized by sustained or intermittent muscle contractions causing abnormal, often repetitive, movements, postures, or both.
We developed a framework consisting of tracking and consensus updates to handle the issues of time-varying network topology and incomplete data.
As mentioned above, for a fixed k and J ≫ 1, the consensus update process after the k th tracking update can be considered as a consensus in estimation problem.
(2) We develop an algorithm by combining distributed Kalman filtering with consensus updates to handle a time-varying network in which not every node has local observations to generate own local tracking estimates (incomplete data).
