Continuous-time Sequential Decision Feedback: Revisited

Sequential feedback communications has wide ranging applications such as low power commu- nications, error-resilience protocols etc. Two kinds of feedback communication systems can be inden- tiÞed: information feedback and decision feedback. Continuous-time sequential decision feedback commu- nication is the focus of this paper. The case when the detector test statistic is a Poisson random walk pro- cess with reversals whose velocities are governed by a Markov jump process is addressed. Some mathemati- cal properties of this feedback system are investigated.
