Abstract

We consider a distributed detection problem over fading multiple-access channels. Sensors observe a phenomenon and transmit their observations to a fusion center using the amplify-and-forward scheme. The fusion center has multiple antennas and uses the transmissions from the sensors to run a detection algorithm. The channels are Ricean fading, and the sensors have no channel information. The performance is evaluated in terms of error exponent and compared with the AWGN channels case. The benefit of having multiple antennas at the fusion center is also quantified.
