Optimum Receiver Design for Estimation over Wireless Links
| Prev: Impact of Communication Noise on Estimation over Wireless Links | Course Home | Next: Distributed Estimation | 
In this lecture, we study the optimum packet drop mechanism for estimation of dynamical systems over mobile noisy channels.  We will consider a case where the knowledge of channel quality is available in the estimator as well as the scenario where there is no cross-layer information path.  We will derive stability conditions for both cases.  Furthermore, we will find the optimum packet drop mechanism to optimize the performance.
