We propose a distributed solution for a canonical task in wireless sensor networks – the extraction of information about interesting environmental features. We explicitly take into account the possibility of sensor measurement faults and develop a distributed Bayesian algorithm for detecting and correcting such faults. Theoretical analysis and simulation results show that 85-95% of faults can be corrected using this algorithm even when as many as 10% of the nodes are faulty.

The Impact of Fairness Constraints on Information Routing in Energy-Limited Wireless Sensor Networks
TLDR
Formal mathematical models of a WSN based on non-linear optimization are developed and used to analyze the impact of fairness constraints on network performance and show that the maximum information that can be extracted for a fixed amount of energy increases and the minimum energy required to output a fixed number of information decreases.

TLDR
A detailed communication energy model, obtained from measurements, is introduced that incorporates the non-ideal behavior of the physical layer electronics and proposes the use of a variable bandwidth allocation scheme that exploits spatial distribution of sensors.
ASCENT: adaptive self-configuring sensor networks topologies
