Rao-Test Fusion Rules of Uncensored Decisions Transmitted Over a Collision Channel
Seksan Laitrakun · 2018
We consider composite hypothesis testing problems in distributed detection whose sensors share a collision channel to transmit their uncensored decisions and the fusion center (FC) has a limited time duration to collect local decisions. Rao-test fusion rules for distributed detection whose sensors utilize time division multiple access (TDMA) and frame slotted Aloha to transmit their decisions to the FC are derived. Since using TDMA provides no packet collisions while using frame slotted Aloha induces packet collisions, finding scenarios when one fusion rule achieves a better performance than the other one is our interest.
