Abstract
In many distributed tracking applications, the quality of a state estimation suffers from communication bandwidth limitations. In particular, scenarios using wireless channels such as HF radio, WLAN, or 3G networks experience link breakdowns and limited capacity constraints. Furthermore, if sensors are involved which have a high update rate, e.g. sonar or lidar, or return much clutter, e.g. radar, network technologies are hardly sufficient to cover all needs with respect to a constantly full transfer of measurements.
