A Proportional Time Allocation Algorithm to Transmit Binary Sensor Decisions for Target Tracking in a Wireless Sensor Network.

In this paper, we study the target tracking problem in a wireless sensor network. A sensor receives a measurement from an energy emitting target and employs binary quantization to the received measurement to generate its decision. A sinusoidal waveform with a certain duration is then used to transmit the sensor decision to the fusion center (FC). All sensor decisions are transmitted to the FC over...
