Distributed cooperative processing and control over wireless sensor networks

An overview of some recent advances in distributed information processing for control over wireless sensor networks is presented in this paper. Firstly, a taxonomy of fundamental control and communication schemes for these systems is introduced. Next, specific research issues are proposed and discussed with three prominent examples on distributed source coding with packet aggregation, distributed cooperative diversity and distributed cooperative localization. In regard to these examples, it is argued about some open research problems and suggestions for further investigations on joint control and communication design for distributed processing and control over wireless sensor networks.
