Sequential joint signal detection and signal-to-noise ratio estimation
The sequential analysis of the problem of joint signal detection and
signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) estimation for a linear Gaussian observation model
is considered. The problem is posed as an optimization setup where the goal is
to minimize the number of samples required to achieve the desired (i) type I
and type II error probabilities and (ii) mean squared error performance. This
optimization problem is reduced to a more tractable formulation by transforming
the observed signal and noise sequences to a single sequence of Bernoulli
random variables; joint detection and estimation is then performed on the
Bernoulli sequence. This transformation renders the problem easily solvable,
and results in a computationally simpler sufficient statistic compared to the
one based on the (untransformed) observation sequences. Experimental results
demonstrate the advantages of the proposed method, making it feasible for
applications having strict constraints on data storage and computation.Comment: 5 pages, Proceedings of IEEE International Conference on Acoustics,
