Object Tracking in Random Access Networks: A Large-Scale Design

We address a scenario in which networked sensor nodes measure the strength of the field generated by a number of moving objects and transmit their measurements to a fusion center (FC) in a random access manner for the final reconstruction of the objects' trajectories. To ensure scalability over an arbitrary coverage area, we divide the total observation area into design units (DUs), each consisting of several sensing cells. An extended Kalman...
