EURASIP JOURNAL ON ADVANCES IN SIGNAL PROCESSING
Special Issue on
Distributed Signal Processing Techniques for
Wireless Sensor Networks
Call for Papers
Recent advances in hardware and wireless communications
technologies have made possible the design of low-cost, lowpower,
multifunctional sensor devices. When deployed in a
large number across a geographical area, these sensor devices
collaborate among themselves to create a network for
distributed sensing and automated information gathering,
processing, and communication. Wireless sensor networks
are a special case of wireless ad hoc networks that assume a
multihop communication framework with no infrastructure,
where the sensor devices cooperate to convey information
from a source to a destination. This revolutionary technology
will present a huge impact on a broad range of applications:
monitoring the health status of humans, animals, plants, and
civil-engineering structures, control and instrumentation of
industrial machines and home appliances, energy conservation,
security, detection of chemical and biological leaks. The
upcoming years will very likely witness a growing demand for
intelligent sensor systems that will be networked with wireless
local area networks (WLANs) and Internet for increased
functionality and performance.
In general, the design of wireless sensor networks is subject
to the following requirements:
• low energy consumption, which is manifested inminimal
energy expenditure in each sensor node and efficient
usage of power-saving sleep/wake-up modes
• scalability with the increase in the number of sensors
with the goal to extract information from noisy spatiotemporal
measurements collected at the nodes
• broadcast communication paradigm and the increased
possibility of packet collisions and congestions
• absence of centralized communication infrastructure
• possibility of frequent node failures and network
topology changes
The goal of this special issue is to present the state-ofthe-
artresults and emerging signal processing approaches
for wireless sensor networks that can cope with the abovementioned
challenges. Submitted articlesmust not have been
previously published and must not be currently submitted
for publication elsewhere. Topics of interest include the following:
• distributed estimation,detection, inference, and
learning algorithms
• clock and carrier synchronization techniques
• design of distributed modulation techniques
• distributed power control algorithms
• performance bounds and statistical analysis
Due to the existence of a concurrent call for proposals, papers
dealing with localization and tracking applications will
not be accepted.
