In this paper, we study one-bit quantizer design for distributed estimation under the minimax criterion for wireless sensor network (WSN) applications. Identical local quantizers are generally difficult to design because of the dependence on the unknown parameter under estimation. Nonidentical local quantizers are more robust in that sense. However, its design generally involves multi-dimensional...
The problem of distributed estimation of an unknown parameter corrupted by noise is studied in this paper. In consideration of the stringent bandwidth constraint in practical wireless sensor network (WSN) applications, a one-bit quantization scheme is adopted to compress local sensor observations. Imperfect data transmission between local sensors and a fusion center is considered and modeled as a...
In this paper, we study the problem of distributed detection in the presence of unknown carrier frequency offset (CFO) and initial phase, the issue we encounter in the emerging applications of wireless sensor networks (WSNs) due to hardware constraints on sensor nodes. Suboptimal fusion rules taking into account CFO and initial phase and non-data-aided methods of low complexity for CFO and initial...
In this paper, the problem of event-region detection and the related problem of boundary-region detection in wireless sensor networks (WSNs) are explored. Decentralized detection techniques are developed to tackle these problems. In contrast to the standard decentralized detection where all sensors observe a homogeneous phenomenon, sensor nodes considered here could observe heterogeneous regions,...
The ZigBee standard which has been widely adopted for wireless sensor networks specifies two routing protocols. One is a path search protocol which finds the best path by flooding whole or part of the network with path search messages costing significant amount of energy and bandwidth. The other is a simple tree routing protocol which eliminates path search by solely following the parent-child links...
