Optimal Binary Signaling for a Two Sensor Gaussian MAC Network (2402.04424v2)
Abstract: We consider a two sensor distributed detection system transmitting a binary non-uniform source over a Gaussian multiple access channel (MAC). We model the network via binary sensors whose outputs are generated by binary symmetric channels of different noise levels. We prove an optimal one dimensional constellation design under individual sensor power constraints which minimizes the error probability of detecting the source. Three distinct cases arise for this optimization based on the parameters in the problem setup. In the most notable case (Case III), the optimal signaling design is to not necessarily use all of the power allocated to the more noisy sensor (with less correlation to the source). We compare the error performance of the optimal one dimensional constellation to orthogonal signaling. The results show that the optimal one dimensional constellation achieves lower error probability than using orthogonal channels.
