Abstract
The multisensor network decision/detection problem continue to attract much research interest in recent years since such system offers many advantages over that with a single sensor in terms of e.g., survivability, reliability, and robustness. This article surveys some previous progress, briefly presents a few new results, and proposes some challenging issues in communication direction of sensor network decision fusion.
