In this paper we look at the problem of multi-sensor data fusion when data is being communicated over 
channels that drop packets randomly. We are motivated by 
the use of wireless links for communication among nodes in 
upcoming sensor networks. We wish to identify the information that should be communicated by each node to others given 
that some of the information it had transmitted earlier might 
have been lost. We solve the problem exactly for the case 
of two sensors and study the performance of the algorithm 
when more sensors are present. For the two-sensor case, the 
performance of our algorithm is optimal in the sense that if 
a packet is received from the other sensor, it is equivalent to 
receiving all previous measurements, irrespective of the packet 
drop pattern.
