Adaptive Quantization In Wireless Sensor Networks With Encryption, Niharika Konakalla
Adaptive Quantization In Wireless Sensor Networks With Encryption, Niharika Konakalla
LSU Master's Theses
We consider the estimation of a deterministic unknown parameter in an encrypted wireless sensor networks. Adaptive quantization is used on the sensor's observation and the outputs of the sensors are then encrypted using a probabilistic cipher. In a conventional fixed quantization scheme, estimation error grows exponentially with the difference between the threshold and the unknown parameter to be estimated. Hence, to avoid this, we used and adaptive quantization scheme where each sensor adaptively adjusts its quantization threshold. We find the Cramer-Rao Lower Bound for the Ally Fusion Center (AFC) and then find the optimal estimate of the unknown parameter for …
Sigma-Delta Modulation Based Distributed Detection In Wireless Sensor Networks, Dimeng Wang
Sigma-Delta Modulation Based Distributed Detection In Wireless Sensor Networks, Dimeng Wang
LSU Master's Theses
We present a new scheme of distributed detection in sensor networks using Sigma-Delta modulation. In the existing works local sensor nodes either quantize the observation or directly scale the analog observation and then transmit the processed information independently over wireless channels to a fusion center. In this thesis we exploit the advantages of integrating modulation as a local processor into sensor design and propose a novel mixing topology of parallel and serial configurations for distributed detection system, enabling each sensor to transmit binary information to the fusion center, while preserving the analog information through collaborative processing. We develop suboptimal fusion …
Target Tracking In Wireless Sensor Networks, Tarun Anand Malik
Target Tracking In Wireless Sensor Networks, Tarun Anand Malik
LSU Master's Theses
The problem being tackled here relates to the problem of target tracking in wireless sensor networks. It is a specific problem in localization. Localization primarily refers to the detection of spatial coordinates of a node or an object. Target tracking deals with finding spatial coordinates of a moving object and being able to track its movements. In the tracking scheme illustrated, sensors are deployed in a triangular fashion in a hexagonal mesh such that the hexagon is divided into a number of equilateral triangles. The technique used for detection is the trilateration technique in which intersection of three circles is …
