“…For example, to find ∆ β,1 , we would use (11b) and (11c) to determine the exact value of r d ' such that the optimum decision scheme would have transitioned halfway between the b 0 reliable region and our "transition region". For R = 2 (the optimum ring ratio for use with Rayleigh fading channels, as per [10]), we obtain the following threshold values: ∆ 3,1 = 0.818, ∆ 3,2 = 0.745, ∆ 3,3 = 0.509, ∆ 3,4 = 0.364, ∆ 2,1 = 1, ∆ 2,2 = 0.910, ∆ 2,3 = 0.179, ∆ 2,4 = 0, ∆ 1,1 = 1, ∆ 1,2 = 1, ∆ 1,3 = 0, ∆ 1,4 = 0. We note that for β = 1 and β = 2 some of our thresholds are equal to 1 or 0 indicating that some of the regions depicted in Fig.…”
