There is now a CONTENT FREEZE for Mercury while we switch to a new platform. It began on Friday, March 10 at 6pm and will end on Wednesday, March 15 at noon. No new content can be created during this time, but all material in the system as of the beginning of the freeze will be migrated to the new platform, including users and groups. Functionally the new site is identical to the old one. webteam@gatech.edu

Abstract:
The objective of this research is to design and analyze data fusion schemes for energy efficient reading of correlated wireless sensors using cooperative communications. A spatially correlated sensor network is read by a collector or fusion center using the semi-cooperative spectrum fusion (SCSF) scheme, where a cluster of sensors simultaneously transmit to the fusion center in response to a beacon transmission by the fusion center. In this research, the SCSF scheme is considered for parameter estimation and binary integration problems. The main contributions of the research are the theoretical analysis of estimation and detection performance, and energy consumption.
