This paper studies the problem of sequential Gaussian shift-in-mean hypothesis testing in a distributed multi-agent network. A sequential probability ratio test (SPRT) type algorithm in a distributed framework of the emph{consensus}+emph{innovations} form is proposed, in which the agents update their decision statistics by simultaneously processing latest observations (innovations) sensed sequentially over time and information obtained from neighboring agents (consensus). For each pre-specified set of type I and type II error probabilities, local decision parameters are derived which ensure that the algorithm achieves the desired error performance and terminates in finite time almost surely (a.s.) at each network agent. Large deviation exponents for the tail probabilities of the agent stopping time distributions are obtained and it is shown that asymptotically (in the number of agents or in the high signal-to-noise-ratio regime) these exponents associated with the distributed algorithm approach that of the optimal centralized detector. The expected stopping time for the proposed algorithm at each network agent is evaluated and is benchmarked with respect to the optimal centralized algorithm. The efficiency of the proposed algorithm in the sense of the expected stopping times is characterized in terms of network connectivity. Finally, simulation studies are presented which illustrate and verify the analytical findings.
In this paper, we consider the problem of distributed sequential detection using wireless sensor networks (WSNs) in the presence of imperfect communication channels between the sensors and the fusion center (FC). We assume that sensor observations ar
We consider the problem of distributed binary hypothesis testing of two sequences that are generated by an i.i.d. doubly-binary symmetric source. Each sequence is observed by a different terminal. The two hypotheses correspond to different levels of
We consider sequential hypothesis testing between two quantum states using adaptive and non-adaptive strategies. In this setting, samples of an unknown state are requested sequentially and a decision to either continue or to accept one of the two hyp
We study a hypothesis testing problem in which data is compressed distributively and sent to a detector that seeks to decide between two possible distributions for the data. The aim is to characterize all achievable encoding rates and exponents of th
In this paper, we investigate the role of a physical watermarking signal in quickest detection of a deception attack in a scalar linear control system where the sensor measurements can be replaced by an arbitrary stationary signal generated by an att
