The problem of maximizing the information flow through a sensor network tasked with an inference objective at the fusion center is considered. The sensor nodes take observations, compress, and send them to the fusion center through a network of relays. The network imposes capacity constraints on the rate of transmission in each connection and flow conservation constraints. It is shown that this rate-constrained inference problem can be cast as a Network Utility Maximization problem by suitably defining the utility functions for each sensor, and can be solved using existing techniques.

Automobiles have become an essential part of everyday lives. In this work, we attempt to make them smarter by introducing the idea of in-car driver authentication using wireless sensing. Our aim is to develop a model which can recognize drivers automatically. Firstly, we address the problem of "changing in-car environments", where the existing wireless sensing based human identification system fails. To this end, we build the first in-car driver radio biometric dataset to understand the effect of changing environments on human radio biometrics.

A sensor network wishes to transmit information to a fusion center to allow it to detect a public hypothesis, but at the same time prevent it from inferring a private hypothesis. We propose a multilayer sensor network structure, where each sensor first applies a nonlinear fusion function on the information it receives from sensors in a previous layer, and then a linear weighting matrix to distort the information it sends to sensors in the next layer.
