:$$s \hspace{-0.15cm} \ = \ \hspace{-0.15cm}s_0 = +1 \hspace{0.2cm} \Longleftrightarrow \hspace{0.2cm}m = m_0 = 0\hspace{0.05cm},$$

Channel transition probabilities

To illustrate  "maximum–a–posteriori"  $\rm (MAP)$  and  "maximum likelihood"  $\rm (ML)$  decision,  we now construct a very simple example with only two possible messages  $m_0 = 0$  and  $m_1 = 1$,  represented by the signal values  $s_0$  resp.  $s_1$:

$$s \hspace{-0.15cm} \ = \ \hspace{-0.15cm}s_0 = +1 \hspace{0.2cm} \Longleftrightarrow \hspace{0.2cm}m = m_0 = 0\hspace{0.05cm},$$
$$s \hspace{-0.15cm} \ = \ \hspace{-0.15cm}s_1 = -1 \hspace{0.2cm} \Longleftrightarrow \hspace{0.2cm}m = m_1 = 1\hspace{0.05cm}.$$
  • Let the probabilities of occurrence be:
$${\rm Pr}(s = s_0) = 0.75,\hspace{0.2cm}{\rm Pr}(s = s_1) = 0.25 \hspace{0.05cm}.$$
  • The received signal can – for whatever reason – take three different values, i.e.
$$r = +1,\hspace{0.2cm}r = 0,\hspace{0.2cm}r = -1 \hspace{0.05cm}.$$
  • The conditional channel probabilities can be taken from the graph.


After transmission, the message is to be estimated by an optimal receiver.  Available are:

  • the  maximum likelihood receiver  $\rm (ML$  receiver$)$,  which does not know the occurrence probabilities  ${\rm Pr}(s = s_i)$,  with the decision rule:
$$\hat{m}_{\rm ML} = {\rm arg} \max_i \hspace{0.1cm} \big[ p_{r |s } \hspace{0.05cm} (\rho |s_i ) \big]\hspace{0.05cm},$$
  • the  maximum-a-posteriori receiver  $\rm (MAP$  receiver$)$;  this receiver also considers the symbol probabilities of the source in its decision process:
$$\hat{m}_{\rm MAP} = {\rm arg} \max_i \hspace{0.1cm} \big[ {\rm Pr}( s = s_i) \cdot p_{r |s } \hspace{0.05cm} (\rho |s_i ) \big ]\hspace{0.05cm}.$$

Solution

(1)  The receiver side occurrence probabilities we are looking for are

$${\rm Pr} ( r = +1) \hspace{-0.1cm} \ = \ \hspace{-0.1cm} {\rm Pr} ( s_0) \cdot {\rm Pr} ( r = +1 \hspace{0.05cm}| \hspace{0.05cm}s = +1) = 0.75 \cdot 0.8 \hspace{0.05cm}\hspace{0.15cm}\underline { = 0.6}\hspace{0.05cm},$$
$${\rm Pr} ( r = -1) \hspace{-0.1cm} \ = \ \hspace{-0.1cm} {\rm Pr} ( s_1) \cdot {\rm Pr} ( r = -1 \hspace{0.05cm}| \hspace{0.05cm}s = -1) = 0.25 \cdot 0.6 \hspace{0.05cm}\hspace{0.15cm}\underline {= 0.15}\hspace{0.05cm},$$
$${\rm Pr} ( r = 0) \hspace{-0.1cm} \ = \ \hspace{-0.1cm} 1 - {\rm Pr} ( r = +1) - {\rm Pr} ( r = -1) = 1 - 0.6 - 0.15 \hspace{0.05cm}\hspace{0.15cm}\underline {= 0.25}\hspace{0.05cm}.$$
  • For the last probability also holds:
$${\rm Pr} ( r = 0) = 0.75 \cdot 0.2 + 0.25 \cdot 0.4 = 0.25\hspace{0.05cm}.$$


(2)  For the first inference probability we are looking for holds:

$${\rm Pr} (s_0 \hspace{0.05cm}| \hspace{0.05cm}r = +1) = \frac{{\rm Pr} ( r = +1 \hspace{0.05cm}|\hspace{0.05cm}s_0 ) \cdot {\rm Pr} ( s_0)}{{\rm Pr} ( r = +1)} = \frac{0.8 \cdot 0.75}{0.6} \hspace{0.05cm}\hspace{0.15cm}\underline {= 1}\hspace{0.05cm}.$$
  • Correspondingly,  we obtain for the other probabilities:
$${\rm Pr} (s_1 \hspace{0.05cm}| \hspace{0.05cm}r = +1) \hspace{-0.1cm} \ = \ 1 - {\rm Pr} (s_0 \hspace{0.05cm}| \hspace{0.05cm}r = +1) \hspace{0.05cm}\hspace{0.15cm}\underline {= 0}\hspace{0.05cm},$$
$${\rm Pr} (s_0 \hspace{0.05cm}| \hspace{0.05cm}r = -1) \hspace{0.05cm}\hspace{0.15cm}\underline {= 0}\hspace{0.05cm},$$
$${\rm Pr} (s_1 \hspace{0.05cm}| \hspace{0.05cm}r = -1) \hspace{0.05cm}\hspace{0.15cm}\underline {= 1}\hspace{0.05cm},$$
$${\rm Pr} (s_0 \hspace{0.05cm}| \hspace{0.05cm}r = 0) \hspace{-0.1cm} \ = \ \hspace{-0.1cm}\frac{{\rm Pr} ( r = 0 \hspace{0.05cm}|\hspace{0.05cm}s_0 ) \cdot {\rm Pr} ( s_0)}{{\rm Pr} ( r = 0 )}= \frac{0.2 \cdot 0.75}{0.25} \hspace{0.05cm}\hspace{0.15cm}\underline {= 0.6}\hspace{0.05cm},$$
$${\rm Pr} (s_1 \hspace{0.05cm}| \hspace{0.05cm}r = 0) \hspace{-0.1cm} \ = \ \hspace{-0.1cm} 1- {\rm Pr} (s_0 \hspace{0.05cm}| \hspace{0.05cm}r = 0) \hspace{0.05cm}\hspace{0.15cm}\underline {= 0.4} \hspace{0.05cm}.$$


(3)  Let  $r = +1$.  Then decides

  • the MAP receiver for  $s_0$,  because ${\rm Pr} (s_0 \hspace{0.05cm}| \hspace{0.05cm}r = +1) = 1 > {\rm Pr} (s_1 \hspace{0.05cm}| \hspace{0.05cm}r = +1)= 0\hspace{0.05cm},$
  • the ML receiver likewise for  $s_0$,  since ${\rm Pr} ( r = +1 \hspace{0.05cm}| \hspace{0.05cm}s_0) = 0.8 > {\rm Pr} ( r = +1 \hspace{0.05cm}| \hspace{0.05cm}s_1) = 0 \hspace{0.05cm}.$


So the correct answer is  NO.


(4)  NO  is also true under the condition  "$r = \, –1$",  since there is no connection between  $s_0$  and  "$r = \, –1$".


(5)  Solutions 1 and 4  are correct:

  • The MAP receiver will choose event  $s_0$,  since ${\rm Pr} (s_0 \hspace{0.05cm}| \hspace{0.05cm}r = 0) = 0.6 > {\rm Pr} (s_1 \hspace{0.05cm}| \hspace{0.05cm}r = 0) = 0.4 \hspace{0.05cm}.$
  • In contrast,  the ML receiver will choose  $s_1$,  since  ${\rm Pr} ( r = 0 \hspace{0.05cm}| \hspace{0.05cm}s_1) = 0.4 > {\rm Pr} ( r = 0 \hspace{0.05cm}| \hspace{0.05cm}s_0) = 0.2 \hspace{0.05cm}.$


(6)  The maximum likelihood receiver

  • decides for  $s_0$  only if  $r = +1$,
  • thus makes no error if  $s_1$  was sent,
  • only makes an error when  "$s_0$"  and  "$r = 0$"  are combined:
$${\rm Pr} ({\rm symbol\hspace{0.15cm}error} ) = {\rm Pr} ({\cal E } ) = 0.75 \cdot 0.2 \hspace{0.05cm}\hspace{0.15cm}\underline {= 0.15} \hspace{0.05cm}.$$


(7)  The MAP receiver,  on the other hand,  decides for  $s_0$ when  "$r = 0$".  So there is a symbol error only in the combination  "$s_1$"  and  "$r = 0$".  From this follows:

$${\rm Pr} ({\rm symbol\hspace{0.15cm}error} ) = {\rm Pr} ({\cal E } ) = 0.25 \cdot 0.4 \hspace{0.05cm}\hspace{0.15cm}\underline {= 0.1} \hspace{0.05cm}.$$
  • The error probability here is lower than for the ML receiver,
  • because now also the different a-priori probabilities  ${\rm Pr}(s_0)$ and ${\rm Pr}(s_1)$  are considered.
