Location Estimation in Sensor Networks Moshe Mishali
(Wireless) Sensor Network • A wireless sensor network (WSN) is a wireless network consisting of spatially distributed autonomous devices using sensors to cooperatively monitor physical or environmental conditions, such as temperature, sound, vibration, pressure, motion or pollutants, at different locations.

Model Sensors Fusion Center
Maximum Likelihood Estimator • Given: • are Gaussian i.i.d. • Then, the MLE is
Constrained Distributed Estimation • The communication to the fusion center is bandwidth-constrained.e.g. each sensor can send only 1 bit,
Variations • Deterministic or Bayesian • Knowledge of noise structure • Known PDF (explicit) • Known PDF with unknown parameters • Unknown PDF (bounded or not) • Scalar or vector
Outline • Known noise PDF • Known noise PDF, but unknown parameters • Unknown noise PDF (universal estimator) • Advanced • Dynamic range considerations • Detection in WSN • Estimation under energy constraint • (Compressive WSN) • Discussion
