1. A system for source-sink communication comprising:
processing hardware of a machine; and
a memory device storing instructions which, when executed by the processing hardware, cause the processing hardware to:
receive, from a source device, a signal value for provision to a sink device, the signal value corresponding to a measurement, by a sensor of the source device, of an environmental value;
access, from a storage device, an error term for the signal value;
access, from the storage device, a source reliability term for the source device;
access, from the storage device, a source-sink relation term based on the source device and the sink device;
determine a distribution for the environmental value based on the error term, the source reliability term, and the source-sink relation term, wherein the distribution is a statistical distribution of a true value for the environmental value;
determine, based on the distribution for the environmental value, whether the signal value is reliable;
provide an output representing the signal value in response to a determination that the signal value is reliable; and
forgo providing the output representing the signal value in response to a determination that the signal value is not reliable.
