Query: Threshold detection scheme based on parametric distribution fitting for
  optical fiber channels   When data is transmitted by encoding it in the amplitude of the transmitted
signal, such as in Amplitude Shift Keying, the receiver makes a decision on the
transmitted data by observing the amplitude of the received signal. Depending
on the level of the received signal, the receiver has to decode the received
data, with minimum probability of error. For binary transmission, this is
achieved by choosing a decision threshold. A threshold detection mechanism is
evaluated in this paper, which uses parametric probability distribution fitting
to the received signal. Based on our earlier work on visible light
communication, the idea is extended to a fiber optic channel and it is found
that in a fiber optic channel, the threshold value obtained by fitting a
Rayleigh distribution to the received data results in error probability
approaching zero.
