We address the distributed estimation of a scalar Gaussian source in wireless sensor networks. The sensor nodes transmit their noisy observations, using the amplify-and-forward relaying strategy through coherent multiple access channel to the fusion center (FC) that reconstructs the source parameter. In this letter, we assume that the received signal at the FC is corrupted by impulsive noise and channel fading, as encountered for instance within power substations. Over Rayleigh fading channel and in presence of Middleton class-A impulsive noise, we derive the minimum mean square error (MMSE) optimal Bayesian estimator along with its mean square error performance bounds. From the obtained results, we conclude that the proposed optimal MMSE estimator outperforms the linear MMSE estimator developed for Gaussian noise scenario.
