Distributed SNR estimation using constant modulus signaling over Gaussian multiple-access channels

A sensor network is used for distributed SNR estimation. Sensors observe a signal embedded in noise. These observations are phase modulated using a constant-modulus scheme and transmitted over a Gaussian multiple-access channel to a fusion center. At the fusion center, the location parameter and scale parameter are estimated using a minimum-variance estimator as well as computationally simple alternatives. Performance evaluated using the...
