In this paper we study the problem of random field estimation with wireless sensor networks. We consider two encoding strategies namely Compress-and-Estimate C E and Quantize-and-Estimate Q E which operate with and without side information at the decoder respectively. We focus our attention on two scenarios of interest delay-constrained networks in which the observations collected in a particular timeslot must be immediately encoded and conveyed to the Fusion Center FC delay-tolerant DT networks where the time horizon is enlarged to a number of consecutive timeslots. For both scenarios and encoding strategies we extensively analyze the distortion in the reconstructed random field. In DT scenarios we find closed-form expressions of the optimal number of samples to be encoded in each timeslot Q E and C E cases . Besides we identify buffer stability conditions and a number of interesting distortion versus buffer occupancy tradeoffs. Latency issues in the reconstruction of the random field are addressed as well. Computer simulation and numerical results are given in terms of distortion versus number of sensor nodes .
