Inherence of Hard Decision Fusion in Soft Decision Fusion and a Generalized Radix-2 Multistage Decision Fusion Strategy

We consider the problem of decision fusion for binary event detection using a sensor network of nodes with non-identical detection and false-alarm probability pairs. We show that a soft decision fusion rule that is used to make a binary decision inherently possesses a hard decision fusion (HDF) part...
