Abstract

Abstract

En 中文
Unlike traditional homogeneous single-task wireless sensor networks (WSNs), heterogeneous and multitask WSNs allow the cooperation among multiple heterogeneous devices dedicated to solving different signal processing tasks. Despite their heterogenous nature and the fact that each device may solve a different task, the devices could still benefit from a collaboration between them to achieve a superior performance. However, the design of such heterogeneous WSNs is very challenging and requires the design of scalable algorithms that maximize the performance of the devices without transmitting their raw sensor signals in an uncontrolled fashion. Towards this goal, novel techniques are needed both on the signal processing level and on the network-communication level. In this paper, we give an overview of applications in the field of heterogeneous and multitask WSNs with special focus on the signal processing aspects. Moreover, we provide a general overview of the existing algorithms for distributed node-specific estimation. Finally, we discuss the main challenges that have to be tackled for the design of heterogeneous multitask WSNs.
