An Evaluation of the Reliability in Sensor Network with Partially Unknown Structure on the basis of the Multi-terminal Information Theory

在本研究中，我们以多终端信息理论为基础，分析了传感器网络的基本特性。在以往的多终端信息论研究中，几乎所有的研究都假设通信中感知目标和/或噪声的概率是已知的。然而，在实际情况下，这些概率可能是未知的，因此我们考虑了这些概率未知的情况。在这种情况下，我们澄清了存在一个码的条件，该码的错误概率要求小于或等于某个常量。

In this research, we have analyzed fundamental properties of sensor network on the basis of multi-terminal information theory. In almost all previous researches in multi-terminal information theory, the probabilities of sensing objects and/or noise in communication were assumed to be known. However, in practical setting, these probabilities maybe unknown and hence we have considered the situation that these probabilities are unknown. In this situation, we have clarified the condition that there exists a code, whose error probability is required to be smaller than or equal to some constant.
