摘要

We explore the fundamental limits of heterogeneous distributed detection in an anonymous sensor network with n sensors and a single fusion center. The fusion center collects the single observation from each of the n sensors to detect a binary parameter. The sensors are clustered into multiple groups, and different groups follow different distributions under a given hypothesis. The key challenge for the fusion center is the anonymity of sensors-although it knows the exact number of sensors and the distribution of observations in each group, it does not know which group each sensor belongs to. It is hence natural to consider it as a composite hypothesis testing problem. First, we propose an optimal test called mixture likelihood ratio test, which is a randomized threshold test based on the ratio of the uniform mixture of all the possible distributions under one hypothesis to that under the other hypothesis. Optimality is shown by first arguing that there exists an optimal test that is symmetric, that is, it does not depend on the order of observations across the sensors, and then proving that the mixture likelihood ratio test is optimal among all symmetric tests. Second, we focus on the Neyman-Pearson setting and characterize the error exponent of the worst-case type-II error probability as n tends to infinity, assuming the number of sensors in each group is proportional to n. Finally, we generalize our result to find the collection of all achievable type-I and type-II error exponents, showing that the boundary of the region can be obtained by solving an optimization problem. Our results elucidate the price of anonymity in heterogeneous distributed detection, and can be extended to M-ary hypothesis testing with heterogeneous observations generated according to hidden latent variables.
