We consider detection-estimation of Gaussian sources in coloured Gaussian noise for scenarios where a training data set is provided in addition to the primary data set that may contain source signals of interest. We propose a generalised likelihood-ratio test technique based on the optimisation of the likelihood ratio (LR) function that involves both data sets. This optimisation problem is non-convex and so requires some assessment of the quality of its results. The proposed assessment is based on the previously introduced scenario-free lower bound for maximum LR. Joint optimum processing of the two data sets is shown in general to be different from the conventional adaptive technique, whereby the training data set is separately processed, then such estimates are used for primary data processing. We demonstrate that beyond certain threshold conditions, our technique provides an estimation accuracy that is consistent with the corresponding Cramer-Rao bound, whereas maximum likelihood "performance breakdown" is found to occur for scenarios not satisfying such conditions.

Distinct from wireless ad hoc networks, wireless sensornetworks are data-centric, application-oriented, collaborative, and energy-constrained in nature. In this paper, formulate the problem of data transport in sensornetworks as an optimization problem whose objective function is to maximize the amount of information (utility) collected at sinks (subscribers), subject to the flow, energy and channel bandwidth constraints. Also, based on a Markov model extended from [3], we derive the link delay and the node capacity in both the single and multi-hop environments, and figure them in the problem formulation. We study three special cases under the problem formulation. In particular, we consider the energy-aware flow control problem, derive an energy aware flow control solution, and investigate via ns-2 simulation its performance. The simulation results show that the proposed energy-aware flow control solution can achieve high utility and low delay without congesting the network.
In sensornetworks, overlapping sensed areas result in the collection of partially redundant data. Interior sensor nodes along a data collection tree can remove redundancies and reduce the required bandwidth for the a...

A wireless sensor network aims to collect data and, sometimes, control an environment. This kind of network is composed of hundreds to thousands of devices that have the capability of sensing, processing and wireless communicating, called sensor nodes. The sensor nodes are projected with small dimensions (cm3 or mm3) and this size limitation ends up restraining the nodes resources, like energy, processor and transceiver capacity. The task of building and deploying management systems in environments where there will be tens of thousand of network elements with particular features and organization is very complex. This task becomes worse due to the physical restrictions of these unattended sensor nodes, In this paper we have implemented and evaluated some automatic services of configuration and performance management, proposed by a WSNs management architecture called MANNA. This architecture is based on the paradigm of self-management, which are the automatic functions and services of management using a minimum of human interference. This work aims to evaluate different WSN configurations considering an application of continuous data sensing and dissemination, and the effects of the management solution proposed for this network. The built application does temperature and carbon monoxide concentration level monitoring, in an urban area. The results show up the cost-benefits relations of the different organizations and demonstrates that the management can promote the productivity of the resources and control the quality of the provided services.

Distributed sampling and reconstruction of a physical field using an array of sensors is a problem of considerable interest in environmental monitoring applications of sensornetworks. Our recent work has focused on the sampling of bandlimited sensor fields. However, sensor fields are not perfectly bandlimited but typically have rapidly decaying spectra. In a classical sampling set-up it is possible to precede the A/D sampling operation with an appropriate analog anti-aliasing filter. However, in the case of sensornetworks, this is infeasible since sampling must precede filtering. We show that even though the effects of aliasing on the reconstruction cannot be prevented due to the "filter-less" sampling constraint, they can be suitably controlled by oversampling and carefully reconstructing the field from the samples. We show using a dither-based scheme that it is possible to estimate non-bandlimited fields with a precision that depends on how fast the spectral content of the field decays. We develop a framework for analyzing non-bandlimited fields that lead to upper bounds on the maximum pointwise error for a spatial bit rate of R bits/meter. We present results for fields with exponentially decaying spectra as an illustration. In particular, we show that for fields f(t) with exponential tails; i.e., F(/spl omega/) < /spl pi//spl alpha//sup -/spl alpha/|/spl omega/|/, the maximum pointwise error decays as c2e/sup -a//sub 1//spl radic/R+ c3 1//spl radic/R (e/sup -2a//sub 1//spl radic/R) with spatial bit rate R bits/meter. Finally, we show that for fields with spectra that have a finite second moment, the distortion decreases as O((1/N)/sup 2/3/) as the density of sensors, N, scales up to infinity . We show that if D is the targeted non-zero distortion, then the required (finite) rate R scales as O (1 //spl radic/D log 1/D).

In this paper, we address the problem of parameter estimation of multiple polynomial-phase signals (PPS) impinging on a multi-sensor array. ne approach used herein is based on a state space modelization of the signal by performing an Extended Kalman Filtering (EKF) to estimate the state. This method exploits the spatial information provided by a sensor array resulting in considering different observations in the EKF equations. Simulation example supporting the theory is provided showing the efficiency of the resulting estimator by performance close to the Cramer-Rao Lower Bound (CRLB).

This paper studies the performance of the vector channel probing method with feedback. The least squares (I-S), minimum mean square error (MMSE), and a new scaled LS (SLS) approaches to the channel estimation are studied. Optimal choice of probing signals is investigated for each of these techniques.

In this paper, a hybrid classifier is introduced which combines a linear discriminant classifier and a nonlinear non-parametric neural network based classifier such as the Radial Basis Function Neural networks. This hybrid model provides a linear parametric coding of the coarse-level information about the underlying image, and then use the neural networks to encode the finer-level information of the same image. This model allows the selected image regions of interest be analyzed and encoded in the finer scales by a non-parametric neural network models whilst the image regions of no-interest are analyzed and encoded in coarse scales by a simple parametric model. The experiment on video image compression shows that the proposed model achieves significantly reduced computations for similar compression performance compared to other conventional methods.
