Thread Subject: matlab jomework help...

This assignment is based on the optical communication example in Lecture 14 notes. If the laser is on, the detector output is a Poisson random variable with an expected value of 1,300. Otherwise, if the laser is off, the detector output is a Poisson random variable with an expected value of 800 photons. The receiver decides that the laser is on if the number of photons counted is larger a threshold

Simulate this scenario in MATLAB or other suitable software. You will need to write a function to generate binomial random variable (for generating 0's and 1's to indicate laser to be off or on) in addition to a function to generate Poisson random variable. Use the threshold determined in (a) for the decision making part of the system. Obtain the experimental probability of error and compare it to the calculated probability of error

Seems like a pretty easy jomework assignment to me.
What's the problem?
Just do it.
