Abstract

This paper analyzes the strategic communication paradigm over a sensor network. We consider optimal communication strategies in a sensor network where each sensor is strategic and aims to maximize its own objective which involves type and source random variables. The objective of the receiver is to minimize the estimation error associated with the source. The orthogonal multiple access channel model and two notions of equilibrium, Nash and Herding equilibria, are considered. The optimal communication strategies achieving these equilibria and pay-offs at the equilibria are characterized. Numerical results obtained via simulations confirming the theoretical findings are presented.
