Data-aided Sensing for Distributed Detection
share
In this paper, we study data-aided sensing (DAS) for distributed detection in wireless sensor networks (WSNs) when sensors' measurements are correlated. In particular, we derive a node selection criterion based on the J-divergence in DAS for reliable decision subject to a decision delay constraint. Based on the proposed J-divergence based DAS, the nodes can be selected to rapidly increase the log-likelihood ratio (LLR), which leads to a reliable decision with a smaller number of the sensors that upload measurements for a shorter decision delay. From simulation results, it is confirmed that the J-divergence based DAS can provide a reliable decision with a smaller number of sensors compared to other approaches.
