2421 important result was that unlike the ideal link case, the steady-state MSD, EMSE, and MSE are not monotonically increasing functions of step-size when links are noisy. As our simulation results show, there is a good match between theory (our derived expressions) and computer simulations. It must be noted that different learning rules (such as NLMS and RLS) can also be applied in the context of a distributed network with incremental topology. In our future work we will consider the effect
