Abstract

In a sensor network, a certain area or environment are observed by a lot of distributed sensor nodes and a sink collects data observed by sensor nodes. The observed data sequences that sensor nodes generate may have space- and/or time-dependent correlation. This correlation is regarded as redundant information and can be used for channel error correction by joint decoder using correlation. In this paper, we propose the joint decoding scheme using the time-dependent correlation consisting of the consecutive data sequences generated by a sensor node. We also propose a power control scheme using the time-dependent correlation for reduction in energy consumption. We evaluate the packet error rate and the energy consumption ratio, and clarify the effect of our proposed schemes.
