An optimum consultation scheme for parallel distributed detection system is proposed. Two-way communication links are assumed between a set of local sensors and the fusion center. The observations of each sensor are assumed to be statistically independent of all other sensors observations. We also show that the proposed consulting scheme can be optimized such that its performance is identical to that of the optimum parallel scheme. It should be emphasized that the proposed consulting system exhibits the advantage of conditional nonrandom consultation between the fusion center and the sensors. Therefore, the sensors are less detectable which gives the system higher chance of survivability than that of the typical parallel system. Performance results for the case of two and the case of three sensors are given and compared with those of the centralized scheme.

提出了一种并行分布式检测系统的最佳协商方案。假定在一组本地传感器和融合中心之间建立双向通信链路。假定每个传感器的观测值在统计上均独立于所有其他传感器的观测值。我们还表明，可以优化建议的咨询方案，使其性能与最佳并行方案的性能相同。应该强调的是，所提出的咨询系统展现出融合中心与传感器之间有条件的非随机咨询的优势。因此，与典型的并行系统相比，传感器的可检测性较差，从而使系统具有更高的生存能力。
