Abstract
We consider a large-scale, dense sensor network with two types of binary sensors with different discrimination performance and costs. We want to analyze what is the optimal proportion of both sensors in a target detection problem by assigning a given total cost per measurement. We obtain the hypothesis test, and we obtain the test performance using large deviation bounds. We found that the optimal proportion is "winner takes all" like. The sensor with the best performance/cost ratio is selected.
