For this problem, consider the same system description as in the previous problem.
Thus, two users attempt to transmit simultaneously over an additive white Gaussian
noise channel using the (not quite orthogonal) signal sets sown in problem 1.
Here, we are interested in finding a linear receiver
for demodulating the first user's signal which is capable of rejecting
the interference from the second user.
In general, a linear receiver can be represented by the following block diagram:
is given by equation (1) in problem 1.
- Assume that
is chosen.
How would you choose the constant
such that the inner product
is independent of the amplitude
of
the interfering signal.
- Assume now that
.
Find the distribution of the random variable
for both cases,
and
is transmitted.
- How would you choose the threshold
in the receiver above?
- Find the probability of error for this receiver.
Which value does the probability of error approach if the
amplitude
of the interfering user approaches
?
- Indicate the decision boundary formed by this receiver in a suitably chosen
and accurately labeled signal space.
