The problem of jointly designing the signaling scheme and the decision rule is addressed in order to maximize the probability of detection without violating the constraints on the probability of false alarm and the average transmit power. Based on a theoretical analysis, it is shown that the optimal solution can be obtained by employing randomization between at most two signal values for the on-signal (symbol 1) and using the corresponding NP-type likelihood ratio test at the receiver. As a result, the optimal parameters can be computed over a significantly reduced optimization space instead of an infinite set of functions using global optimization techniques. Finally, a detection example is provided to illustrate how stochastic signaling can help improve detection performance over various optimal and sub-optimal signaling schemes. © 2011 IEEE.EnglishNeyman-Pearson (NP) decision ruleStochastic signalingDecision rulesDetection performanceDetector designGlobal optimization techniquesLikelihood ratio testsMultimodal channelsOn-off keyingOptimal parameterOptimal signalingOptimal solutionsProbability of detectionProbability of false alarmSignal valueStochastic signalingTransmit powerDetectorsGlobal optimizationSignal detectionSignal receiversSignalingStochastic systemsOptimizationConference Paper10.1109/SSP.2011.5967836
