This paper addresses decision fusion for distributed detection in randomly deployed clustered Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) operating over non-ideal multiple access channels (MACs). The proposed algorithms and fusion rules can improve the system performance by mitigating fading and considering the statistical characteristics of the received signals.
In this paper, we tackle decision fusion for distributed detection in a randomly-deployed clustered Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) operating over a non-ideal multiple access channels (MACs), i.e. considering Rayleigh fading, path loss and additive noise. To mitigate fading, we propose the distributed equal gain transmit combining (dEGTC) and distributed maximum ratio transit combining (dMRTC). The first and second order statistics of the received signals were analytically computed via stochastic geometry tools. Then the distribution of the received signal over the MAC are approximated by Gaussian and log-normal distributions via moment matching. This enabled the derivation of moment matching optimal fusion rules (MOR) for both distributions. Moreover, suboptimal simpler fusion rules were also proposed, in which all the CHs data are equally weighed, which is termed moment matching equal gain fusion rule (MER). It is shown by simulations that increasing the number of clusters improve the performance. Moreover, MOR-Gaussian based algorithms are better under freespace propagation whereas their lognormal counterparts are more suited in the ground-reflection case. Also, the latter algorithms show better results in low SNR and SN numbers conditions. We have proved that the received power at the CH in MAC is proportional O(lambda R-2(2)) and to O(lambda(2) ln(2) R) in the free-space propagation and the ground-reflection cases respectively, where lambda. is SN deployment intensity and R is the cluster radius. This implies that having more clusters decreases the required transmission power for a given SNR at the receiver.
