On the optimized sensor location performances in the presence of additive white Gaussian Noise

In previous papers we solved the problem of the sensor location optimization based on the minimization of interferences due to wireless communications between sensors. We assumed that each sensor has wireless communication capabilities, in that each sensor reading is characterized in terms of signal to noise ratio. In this paper we extend the previous work in the system of systems context by studying the robustness of the optimized sensor location in the presence of white additive Gaussian Noise (AWGN). We address the question on weather the optimized sensor locations remain the same if the initial reading sensors are only affected by additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN). The analysis results are verified trough computer simulations.
