Abstract
The problem of optimal data fusion involving detector unit communication link failures is considered. Two strategies for decision making in presence of link failures are examined and an optimal decision making scheme in the sense of the Neyman-Pearson (N-P) test is proposed. The performance of q+1 reliable links versus q reliable links are examined theoretically, as well as, numerically using the receiver operating characteristics (ROCs).
