Consider a binary symmetric channel (BSC) with a crossover probability of 0.20. If two such BSCs are cascaded, then the crossover probability of the resultant BSC will be _____
0.32
Open in App
Solution
The correct option is A 0.32
P(y0|x1)=P(y1|x0) =P(z0|x1)P(y0|z0)+P(z1|x1)P(y0|z1) =(0.20×0.80)+(0.80×0.20)=0.32
So, the crossover probability of the resultant BSC = 0.32
