Data Fusion Based on Subspace Decomposition for Distributed State Estimation in Multi-Hop Networks.

This paper deals with the problem of estimating the distributed states of a plant using a set of interconnected agents. Each of these agents must perform a real-time monitoring of the plant state, counting on the measurements of local plant outputs and on the exchange of information with the rest of the network. These inter-agent communications take place within a multi-hop network.
