Decentralized average consensus in wireless sensor networks with probabilistic network links

This study proposes and evaluates an average consensus scheme for wireless sensor networks. For this purpose, two communication error models, the fading model and random error model, are introduced and incorporated into the proposed decentralized average consensus scheme, especially adapted to the constraints of wireless sensor networks. Finally, different simulation scenarios are introduced and their results analyzed to evaluate the performance of the proposed scheme and its effectiveness in meeting the needs of wireless sensor networks.
