Consensus ADMM-Based Distributed Simultaneous Imaging & Communication

This paper takes the first steps toward enabling wireless networks to perform both imaging and communication in a distributed manner. We propose Distributed Simultaneous Imaging and Symbol Detection (DSISD), a provably convergent distributed simultaneous imaging and communication scheme based on the alternating direction method of multipliers. We show that DSISD achieves similar imaging and communication performance as centralized schemes, with order-wise reduction in computational complexity. We evaluate the performance of DSISD via 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi simulations.
