Title
Change Detection for Large Distributed Sensor Networks With Multitriggered Local Sensors
Abstract
The emergence of large sensor networks and the Internet of Things has reinvigorated interest into distributed quickest change detection. Important shortcomings of existing approaches are ease of design, flexibility in communication, and applicability to larger networks. The new approach proposed in this work features local sensors that can be triggered multiple times, i.e., can reset and continue monitoring after transmitting their decisions. With larger sensor networks as a focus, the system allows for multiple simultaneous transmissions to a fusion center within bandwidth limitations. The proposed system uses the cumulative-sum procedure at local sensors to binarize local decisions, which are then transmitted to the fusion center that also employs cumulative-sum quickest detection. Test overdesign due to sequential test overshoot is avoided, and global and local thresholds are chosen to meet a desired false alarm rate constraint using numerical computation of expected delay performance. The system compares favourably to several existing methods while offering greater flexibility in the amount of fusion center communication.
