1. For detection of m1, we treat m2as a RV taking 1 or 2 with equal probability. The detection
rule is
arg max
s1∈{−1,1}
pn1(r1−s1−α)pn2(r2−β) + pn1(r1−s1+α)pn2(r2+β)
similarly for detection of m2we have
(s21,s22)∈{(α,β),(−α,−β)}
These relations reduce to
D+1 ⇔e
2r1
N0cosh 2αr1−2α+ 2βr2
N0> e−2r1
N0cosh 2αr1+ 2α+ 2βr2
N0
2. This case easy and straightforward. We have four equiprobable signals whose coordinates are
3. The “real” optimal detector is the one designed in part 1, since it minimizes each error
probability individually. However, it has a more complex structure due to nonlinear relations
that define the decision boundaries.
