Robust remote estimation over the collision channel in the presence of an intelligent jammer
Xu Zhang, Marcos M. Vasconcelos
We consider a sensor-receiver pair communicating over a wireless channel in the presence of a jammer who may launch a denial-of-service attack. We formulate a zero-sum game between…
Global games with Poisson observations: Bio-inspired distributed coordination of multi-agent systems
Marcos M. Vasconcelos
Global games are a class of incomplete information games where the payoffs exhibit strategic complementarity leading to an incentive for the agents to coordinate their actions. Suc…
Improved Convergence Rate for a Distributed Two-Time-Scale Gradient Method under Random Quantization
Marcos M. Vasconcelos, Thinh T. Doan, Urbashi Mitra
We study the so-called distributed two-time-scale gradient method for solving convex optimization problems over a network of agents when the communication bandwidth between the nod…
Distributed remote estimation over the collision channel with and without local communication
Xu Zhang, Marcos M. Vasconcelos, Wei Cui +1
The emergence of the Internet-of-Things and cyber-physical systems necessitates the coordination of access to limited communication resources in an autonomous and distributed fashi…
Data-driven sensor scheduling for remote estimation in wireless networks
Marcos M. Vasconcelos, Urbashi Mitra
Sensor scheduling is a well studied problem in signal processing and control with numerous applications. Despite its successful history, most of the related literature assumes the…
Optimal scheduling strategy for networked estimation with energy harvesting
Marcos M. Vasconcelos, Mukul Gagrani, Ashutosh Nayyar +1
Joint optimization of scheduling and estimation policies is considered for a system with two sensors and two non-collocated estimators. Each sensor produces an independent and iden…
