This thesis presents the development of a Sensor Tower Platform (STP) comprised of an array of Passive Infra-Red (PIR) sensors along with a classification algorithm that enables the STP to distinguish between human intrusion, ...

We consider the transmission of correlated sources over a multiple access channel(MAC). Multiple access channels are important building blocks in many practical communication systems, e.g., local area networks(LAN), cellular ...

Network lifetime is a key issue in wireless sensor networks where sensor nodes, distributed typically in remote/hostile sensing areas, are powered by finite energy batteries which are not easily replaced/recharged. Depletion ...
