CAREER:  M-ary Distributed Detection in Wireless Sensor Networks
This research focuses on integrating M-ary distributed detection and 
communications, and makes a significant impact on the theory and 
practice of wireless sensor networks (WSNs) and cognitive radio networks 
(CRNs). In particular, the following four problems are tackled.

(1) M-ary distributed detection: The PI develops fusion rules and local 
decision rules for M-ary distributed detection systems with different 
wireless channel models, and studies how the erroneous channels 
fundamentally limit the performance of these systems. Furthermore, two 
composite M-ary distributed detecti
