We investigate the optimal performance of dense sensor networks by studying the joint source-channel coding problem. The overall goal of the sensor network is to take measurements from an underlying random process, code and transmit those measurement samples to a collector node in a cooperative multiple access channel with imperfect feedback, and reconstruct the entire random process at the collector node. We provide lower and upper bounds for the minimum achievable expected distortion when the underlying random process is Gaussian. In the case where the random process satisfies some general conditions, we evaluate the lower and upper bounds explicitly and show that they are of the same order for a wide range of sum power constraints. Thus, for these random processes, under these sum power constraints, we determine the achievability scheme that is order-optimal, and express the minimum achievable expected distortion as a function of the sum power constraint.
