ABSTRACT

A new class of abstract sensor networks is introduced and analyzed. The object of the sensing is the inter-node channel. Examples of systems which seek to sense the channel include: underwater sonar, radar and optics based atmospheric sensor networks. In these networks, the sensing and communication tasks share the bandwidth resource in addition to the sharing of power resources as has been conventionally studied in the sensor network framework. Bounds on distortion tradeoffs are developed for various protocols, such as source coding analogues of decode-and-forward and amplify-and-forward and simple topologies such as two-hop networks (three node system).
