Tracking performance of incremental LMS algorithm over adaptive distributed sensor networks

in this paper we focus on the tracking performance of incremental adaptive LMS algorithm in an adaptive network. For this reason we consider the unknown weight vector to be a time varying sequence. First we analyze the performance of network in tracking a time varying weight vector and then we explain the estimation of Rayleigh fading channel through a random walk model. Closed form relations are derived for MSE, MSD and EMSE of analyzed network in tracking Rayleigh fading channel and random walk model. Comparison between theoretical and simulation results shows a perfect match and verifies performed calculations.
