Distributed estimation of parameters in wireless sensor networks is taken into consideration to reduce the communication overhead of the network which makes the sensor system energy efficient. Most of the distributed approaches in literature, the sensor system is modeled with finite impulse response as it is inherently stable. Whereas in real time applications of WSN like target tracking, fast rerouting requires, infinite impulse response system (IIR) is used to model and that has been chosen in this work. It is assumed that every sensor node is equipped with IIR adaptive system. The diffusion least mean square (DLMS) algorithm is used to estimate the parameters of the IIR system where each node in the network cooperates themselves. In a sparse WSN, the performance of a DLMS algorithm reduces as the degree of the node decreases. In order to increase the estimation accuracy with a smaller number of iterations, the sensor node needs to share their information with more neighbors. This is feasible by communicating each node with multi-hop nodes instead of one-hop only. Therefore the parameters of an IIR system is estimated in distributed sparse sensor network using multihop diffusion LMS algorithm. The simulation results exhibit superior performance of the multihop diffusion LMS over non-cooperative and conventional diffusion algorithms.
