Abstract

A conceptual generalization of the Wald's sequential probability ratio test (SPRT) to a decetralized environment is presented. The local tests are chosen to be SPRT's which quatize the temporally iid observations into three levels ({ 1,-1, or none}) for transmission to the fusion detector. Spatial independence among the observations is assumed. The fusion test is also an SPRT. The analysis of the scheme is developed and the performance is compared with the centralized SPRT and other distributed schemes.
