Two Analog Transmission Schemes for Distributed Detection

Abstract:

In order to improve the detection performance of distributed detection system under noisy fading channel, two analog transmission schemes, i.e. an analog transmission and a modified analog transmission, were proposed. Simulations show that, when the channel SNR is high, such as larger than 20dB, the system with the proposed analog transmission scheme can approach that with ideal transmission condition in detection performance. For low channel SNR, such as less than 10dB, the modified analog transmission scheme results in better detection performance than the binary transmission scheme proposed in literature. Therefore, according to the channel state information at the sensor, the sensor can select appropriate transmission scheme to improve the system’s detection performance.
