Before we can obtain a solution for the error performance of the receiver, we have to determine a value for the threshold. Since symbols 1 and 0 occur with equal probability, the minimum probability of error criterion yields: a exp(2ha/) VRAIN, Using this approximation, we may rewrite Eq. (1) as follows: #.
