Abstract: Environmental monitoring is often performed through a wireless sensor network, whose nodes are randomly deployed over the geographical region of interest. Sensors sample a physical phenomenon (the so-called field) and send their measurements to a {em sink} node, which is in charge of reconstructing the field from such irregular samples. In this work, we focus on scenarios of practical interest where the sensor deployment is unfeasible in certain areas of the geographical region, e.g., due to terrain asperities, and the delivery of sensor measurements to the sink may fail due to fading or to transmission collisions among sensors simultaneously accessing the wireless medium. Under these conditions, we carry out an asymptotic analysis and evaluate the quality of the estimation of a d-dimensional field when the sink uses linear filtering as a reconstruction technique. Specifically, given the matrix representing the sampling system, V, we derive both the moments and an expression of the limiting spectral distribution of VV*, as the size of V goes to infinity and its aspect ratio has a finite limit bounded away from zero. By using such asymptotic results, we approximate the mean square error on the estimated field through the eta-transform of VV*, and derive the sensor network performance under the conditions described above.
