Abstract: Sensor selection is an important design problem in large-scale sensor networks. Sensor selection can be interpreted as the problem of selecting the best subset of sensors that guarantees a certain estimation performance. We focus on observations that are related to a general non-linear model. The proposed framework is valid as long as the observations are independent, and its likelihood satisfies the regularity conditions. We use several functions of the Cram'er-Rao bound (CRB) as a performance measure. We formulate the sensor selection problem as the design of a selection vector, which in its original form is a nonconvex l0-(quasi) norm optimization problem. We present relaxed sensor selection solvers that can be efficiently solved in polynomial time. We also propose a projected subgradient algorithm that is attractive for large-scale problems and also show how the algorithm can be easily distributed. The proposed framework is illustrated with a number of examples related to sensor placement design for localization.
