Optimal search for signals in a multichannel system: Arbitrary initial distribution in state space merging scheme

  • Published:
Cybernetics and Systems Analysis Aims and scope

Abstract

Markovian and semi-Markovian random processes are used to analyze the problem of optimal search for signals in a multichannel communication system with arbitrarily distributed random outputs. The search efficiency factor is found in explicit form based on state space merging, and a mathematical programming problem is set up to find a numerical suboptimal solution.
