Doktorgradsavhandling ved Fakultet for teknologi og naturvitenskap, Universitetet i Agder, 2016 In the new era of Internet of Things, complex sensor networks are becoming crucial to link the physical world to the Internet. These sensor networks, composed by hundreds or thousands of nodes, provide many important services to promote a heightened level of awareness about the area of interest such as in predictive maintenance, intelligent buildings, enhanced security systems, etc. In order to make these services possible, several signal processing tasks are needed to support their operation, some widely used examples of these tasks are parameter estimation, signal detection and target tracking.…
