Detection Number of Sources Based on Hybrid Technique in Sensor Networks

Estimating number of sources in sensor networks is a well investigated problem. A common method for solving this problem is to use a Minimum Description Length technique (MDL). The performance of MDL degrades with noise conditions. This paper is concern with the development and application of adaptive noise canceller technique for enhancement the response of MDL. A new system is proposed to estimate number of sources by applying MDL to the outputs of adaptive noise canceller based ANFIS. Simulation outcomes of the offered system demonstrate well, effectiveness, and accurate determination of the number of sources.
