Detection in Dense Wireless Sensor Networks
Wee Peng Tay, John N. Tsitsiklis, Moe Z. Win · 2007
We study decentralized detection in tree networks with bounded height, and in which there are either sensor failures or unreliable communications between sensors. We characterize the asymptotically optimal performance of such tree networks, when certain parameters are allowed to become large, to model the case of dense sensor networks. We also develop simple strategies that nearly achieve the optimal performance.
