Fault-Resilient Distributed Detection and Estimation Over a SW-WSN Using LCMV Beamforming

Analysis and experimental results obtained demonstrate that the proposed SW-WSN model achieves faster convergence rates for both distributed detection and distributed estimation while being resilient to node failures when compared to results obtained using state-of-the-art methods.

Distributed Two-Step Quantized Fusion Rules Via Consensus Algorithm for Distributed Detection in Wireless Sensor Networks

Optimal wireless power transfer and harvested power allocation for diffusion LMS in wireless sensor networks

Simulation results suggest that compared to the conventional case where there is no WPT, the network MSD is reduced by up to approximately 10 dB, because of lower sensing noise and higher information transmission power due to the additional harvested power at the CNs.
