We study decentralized estimation of time-varying signals at a fusion center (FC), when energy harvesting sensors transmit sampled data over rate-constrained links. We propose a dynamic strategy based on stochastic optimization for selecting radio parameters, sampling set, and harvested energy at each node, with the aim of estimating a time-varying signal with guaranteed performance while ensuring stability of the batteries around a prescribed operating level. Numerical results validate the proposed approach for dynamic signal estimation under communication and energy constraints.

We study centralized interpolation of bandlimited graph signals at a fusion center (FC), when sampled data are transmitted over rate-constrained links. In such a scenario, the performance of the reconstruction task is inevitably affected by several sources of errors such as observation noise and quantization due to source encoding. In this paper, we propose two strategies for optimally selecting transmission powers, quantization bits, and the sampling set, with the aim of interpolating a graph signal with guaranteed performance.
