            Abstract : 
This paper presents the computing and communicating statistics in sensor networks. A deterministic sequence of message passing between sensors, result in the vector of function values being, communicated to the fusion center, for any combination of individual measurement vectors. A wireless communication model using protocols is also discussed.
