“…An adaptive network consists of a collection of spatially distributed nodes that are able to communicate with each other through a topology. Two major class of adaptive networks, based on the network topology are incremental networks [7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19] or diffusion algorithms [20,21,22,23,24,25,26,27,28,29,30]. In the incremental algorithms, a cyclic path through the network is established, and nodes communicate with neighbors within this path.…”
