Abstract
Investigation in distributed Radar Sensor Network (RSN) and MIMO-RSN are more like two parallel paths other than one research field in current literature. In this paper, we address the comparison between optimal fusion scheme of distributed-RSN and optimal power control of MIMO-RSN for target detection. We first establish the wireless statistic channel model for these two types of RSNs under flat fading channel condition. Using Jake’s model, Rayleigh flat fading channel is obtained. Then we provide optimization for the fusion scheme and the power control. Both amplitude and phase of the received signals are applied to the optimal/suboptimal fusion schemes for the distributed-RSN. Water-filling, the optimal power control scheme is utilized in the MIMO-RSN, where two suboptimal schemes (equal power and channel inversion) are also investigated to provide a comparison. The detection performance is analyzed and compared in terms of probability of detection (Pd) and probability of false alarm (Pfa). The simulation results show that the water-filling in MIMO-RSN achieves the best performance, whereas the optimal fusion scheme for distributed-RSN obtains worse performance than the equal power control in MIMO-RSN, and the channel inversion in MIMO-RSN gets the worst performance, which has almost the same performance as the suboptimal fusion scheme in distributed-RSN.
