Abstract
We propose a nonlinear filtering framework for approaching the problems of channel state tracking and spatiotemporal channel gain prediction in mobile wireless sensor networks, in a Bayesian setting. We assume that the wireless channel constitutes an observable (by the sensors/network nodes), spatiotemporal, conditionally Gaussian stochastic process, which is statistically dependent on a set of hidden channel parameters, called the channel state. The channel state evolves in time according to a known, non stationary, nonlinear and/or non Gaussian Markov stochastic kernel. This formulation results in a partially observable system, with a temporally varying global state and spatiotemporally varying observations. Recognizing the intractability of general nonlinear state estimation, we advocate the use of grid based approximate filters as an effective and robust means for recursive tracking…
