In this paper, we present a unifying framework for distributed detection with dependent or independent observations. This novel framework utilizes an expanded hierarchical model by introducing a hidden variable. Facilitated by this new framework, we identify several classes of distributed detection problems with conditionally dependent observations whose optimal sensor signaling structure resembles that of the independent case. These classes of problems exhibit a decoupling effect on the form of the optimal local decision rules, much in the same way as the conditionally independent case using both the Bayesian and the Neyman-Pearson criteria.

In this paper, we propose two energy efficient ordered transmission schemes with fusion rules for distributed detection in wireless sensor networks (WSNs). The fusion rule at the fusion center (FC) has been derived to take into account not only the reliability of local decision at sensors, but also channel gains from sensors to the FC. In the first scheme, the sensors' transmission order is based on only local log-likelihood ratio (LLR), while it is based on both the reliability of local decision and quality of transmission channels in the second scheme. Due to the ordered transmission, the target detection performance can be achieved with a small number of sensors, which leads to energy efficient distributed detection in WSNs. At the high signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) regime, the performances of both strategies converge to the best achievable one in the case that the sensors perfectly know the received signals at the FC.

In [1], an important step toward the characterization of distributed detection over adaptive networks has been made by establishing the fundamental scaling law of the error probabilities. However, empirical evidence reported in [1] revealed that a refined asymptotic analysis is necessary in order to capture the exact impact of network connectivity on the detection performance of each individual agent. Here we address this open issue by exploiting the framework of exact asymptotics.

An existing approach to energy-efficient signal detection in sensor networks is to order the sensor transmissions such that highly informative sensors enjoy higher priority for transmission. Then, when sufficient evidence is collected at the fusion center (FC) for decision making, the transmissions are stopped. This scheme incurs the same error probability as the optimum unconstrained energy approach, but with fewer sensor transmissions leading to significant energy savings. However, it is assumed that each sensor uses an orthogonal channel to transmit to the FC. In this paper, the ordering approach is revisited by considering the shared medium between sensors and the FC. After the N sensors make observations they wish to transmit to the FC, time is divided into frames and within each frame, sensors with similar likelihood ratios contend for transmission. The contention for transmission is resolved using Slotted ALOHA. Under certain conditions, this new scheme requires less than half the sensors on an average to transmit, with no loss in error probability for the mean-shift binary hypothesis testing problem.

This paper considers the problem of distributed Bayesian detection in the presence of Byzantines who seek to degrade detection performance by falsifying data. The paper employs an audit bit based mechanism to mitigate Byzantine attacks that partitions sensors into groups. In this framework, local decisions from the sensors in each group reach the fusion center (FC) via multiple paths, which enable the FC to assess (i.e., to audit) the information that reaches it to improve detection performance. In this paper, we consider the audit bit based distributed detection mechanism in the Bayesian framework and derive the optimal fusion rule in the presence of Byzantines. Using probability of error to characterize detection performance of the FC under the optimal fusion rule, we prove that the proposed mechanism is more robust against Byzantine attacks than previously proposed schemes. We show that using the audit bit based mechanism the FC becomes blind (i.e., no useful information reaches the FC) if all the nodes in the network are Byzantines. Furthermore, the paper also introduces the notion of temporal mitigation, namely of mitigating Byzantine attacks over time using audit bits, as well as characterizes optimal Byzantine attacks over time. Extensive numerical results are provided throughout the paper that provide insights into the audit bit based distributed detection mechanism.

In the type-based distributed detection (TBDD for short) framework proposed recently, the type statistic of each sensor must be transmitted to a fusion center for making a final decision. The detection error probability using this approach is high when the transmission channel is highly noisy. Therefore, an approach combining TBDD with channel error detection was proposed to design a fault-tolerant detection system in wireless sensor networks. When the fusion center detects the occurrences of transmission error, the sensor which has sent the received result will be asked to retransmit its type statistic by the fusion center. Simulation results show that the detection error probability can be effectively reduced through the retransmission scheme at moderate cost of traffic and amount of calculation.

This paper presents a continuous-time distributed fault detection and isolation methodology for nonlinear uncertain possibly large-scale dynamical systems. The monitored system is modeled as the interconnection of several subsystems and a divide et impera approach using an overlapping decomposition is adopted. Each subsystem is monitored by a Local Fault Diagnoser using the information based on the measured local state of the subsystem as well as the measurements about neighboring states thanks to the subsystem interconnections. The local diagnostic decision is made on the basis of the knowledge of the local subsystem dynamic model and of an adaptive approximation of the interconnection with neighboring subsystems. In order to improve the detectability and isolability of faults affecting variables shared among different subsystems, a consensus-based estimator is designed. Theoretical results are provided to characterize the detection and isolation capabilities of the proposed distributed scheme.

In this paper, we consider a distributed detection problem in wireless sensor networks (WSNs) using ultrawide bandwidth (UWB) communications. Due to the severe restrictions on power consumption, energy efficiency becomes a critical design issue in WSNs. UWB technology has low-power transceivers, low-complexity and low-cost circuitry which are well suited to the physical layer requirements for WSNs. In a typical parallel fusion network, local decisions are made by local sensors and transmitted through a wireless channel to a fusion center, where the final decision is made. In this paper, we control the number of UWB pulses to achieve the energy efficient distributed detection. We first theoretically characterize the performance of distributed detection using UWB communications. Based on the analysis, we then obtain the minimum number of the pulses per detection to meet the required performance. To achieve a near-optimal design, we further propose a multiple access technique based on the random number of UWB pulses. Finally, the performance evaluation is provided to demonstrate the advantage of our design.

Proper Power allocation can improve energy efficiency in wireless sensor networks (WSNs). Previous works considered only the channel statistics and did not take the instantaneous observations into consideration. Applying the instantaneous quality of an observation to the transmission power control of a node can improve the overall energy efficiency. In this work, we proposed nearly optimal power allocation schemes based on the instantaneous observation quality in each node for distributed detection in WSNs. The instantaneous quality of an observation is related to the log-likelihood ratio (LLR) of the signal observed by a node. According to the simulation results, at least 20% of energy can be saved when compared to the equal power allocation scheme.
