Abstract :
Due to the fact that wireless sensor nodes are spatially distributed throughout the area of interest, event detection must be implemented in a distributed way. Unlike related distributed detection schemes, our proposed approach does not need a pre-designated fusion node. This greatly improves network scalability. In this paper, we provide closed-form expressions for the probability of detection error and probability of false alarm. These results are validated by extensive simulation.
