Performance evaluation of multi-target tracking for PhyC-SN

Abstract

Physical conversion sensor networks (PhyC-SN) achieve simultaneous data collection in wireless sensor networks. Although the PhyC-SN can recognize the median and the outliers of all the sensing data simultaneously, their separation into each sensor data is a difficult task. To address this task, we have proposed a data separation method that utilizes multi-target tracking with use of the sensing data and the received spectrum power for the separation. Even if some of the sensor data are close to each other, the instantaneous power of the sensor data bearing signal is a useful feature for the separation. In this paper, we clarify the separation accuracy of our separation method under various wireless environments by computer simulation.
