Distributed Detection and Fusion in a Large Wireless Sensor Network of Random Size

<p>For a wireless sensor network (WSN) with a random number of sensors, we propose a decision fusion rule that uses the total number of detections reported by local sensors as a statistic for hypothesis testing. We assume that the signal power attenuates as a function of the distance from the...
