Abstract

Although many approaches about ideal channels have been proposed in previous researches, few authors considered the situation of nonideal communication links. In this paper, we study the problem of distributed decision fusion over nonideal channels by using the scan statistics. In order to obtain the fusion rule under nonideal channels, we set up the nonideal channels model with the modulation error, noise and signal attenuation. Under this model, we update the fusion rule by using the scan statstics. We firstly consider the fusion rule when sensors are distributed in grid, then derive the expressions of the detection probability and false alarm probability when sensors follow an uniform distribution. Extensive simulations are conducted in order to investigate the performance of our fusion rule and the influence of signal-noise ratio (SNR) on the detection and false alarm probability. These simulations show that the theoretical values of the global detection probability and the global false alarm probability are close to the experimental results, and the fusion rule also has high performance at the high SNR region. But there are some further researches need to do for solving the large computational complexity.
