“…Recently, we presented an distributed, iterative algorithm [1] that achieves this goal and establishes a consensus, i.e., that eventually, the centralized solution is available at all nodes. Compared to other algorithms from literature for consensusbased distributed estimation (e.g., [2], [3], [4]), our approach exhibits the advantage that every communication of nodes with its neighbors can be realized in a broadcast fashion only, resulting in relatively low communication effort, while still showing fast convergence. In this paper, we will investigate the algorithm's behavior in the presence of different classes of erroneous inter-node links; with additive errors as well as link failures.…”
