We consider the problem of transmission scheduling for the remote estimation of a discrete-time autoregressive Markov process that is driven by white Gaussian noise. A sensor observes this process, and then decides to either encode the…
A key issue in the control of distributed discrete systems modeled as Markov decisions processes, is that often the state of the system is not directly observable at any single location in the system. The participants in the control scheme…
