Question: 3 - Consider a binary communication system that transmits either a zero or a one with probability p _ ( 1 ) and p _

3- Consider a binary communication system that transmits either a zero or a one with probability p_(1) and p_(2) respectively. Transmitting probabilities have a ratio of p_(1)//p_(2)=3//4. Assume, Vo > V_(I) and non-zero threshold value alpha=0.13 where Vo is the required voltage level for transmitting zero, V_(I) is the required voltage level for transmitting one. Because of channel noise ( SNR_dB=5dB), a transmitted zero is received as a one with probability (p), and a transmitted one is received as a zero with probability (2p).
a) For AWGN (Additive White Gaussian Noise) communication channel, make a DERIVATION to obtain the formula for p (in terms of SNR and alpha ) for 'a transmitted zero is received as a one'.
b) Compute the probability of receiving zero.
c) Suppose a zero is received, what is the probability that a zero was transmitted?
d) Determine the overall error rate of the system.
SNR: signal to noise ratio
SNR_dB: 10log(SNR)
